Your Responsibilities
* Develop, adjust, and improve automation scripts used to support a variety of tax-related workflows.
* Contribute to the evolution of a workflow engine responsible for scheduling, triggering, and monitoring automated tasks.
* Build dashboards (React or similar technologies) to give users clear visibility into process execution and system performance.
* Maintain and optimize the execution environment, including Windows-based systems and Dockerized components.
* Ensure the automation platform remains stable, scalable, and well-maintained as it grows.
* Collaborate closely with business teams to understand taxation processes, identify exceptions, and adapt automation accordingly.
* Apply good governance and auditability principles (traceability, structured logs, data minimization, secure access).
* Document your work clearly to support long-term sustainability and knowledge sharing.
* Participate in continuous improvement initiatives and contribute to team best practices.
Your Profile
* Experience with scripting and automation (Python or similar languages).
* Up to 5 years of relevant professional experience.
* Experience with React or another modern front-end framework for dashboard-style interfaces.
* Knowledge of Docker and workflow scheduling/orchestration concepts.
* Comfortable working in Windows-based automation environments.
* Solid understanding of software maintenance practices (version control, testing, CI/CD).
* Exposure to automation in tax, finance, or accounting contexts is a strong advantage.
* Able to manage tasks and small projects end-to-end with a product-oriented mindset.
* Strong understanding of workflows, process controls, and data handling constraints.
* Awareness of governance, compliance, and audit-related requirements.
* Very good communication skills in English, plus French or Dutch at professional level.
* Collaborative, structured, and able to work autonomously.
What You Can Expect
* A full-time hybrid position located in Flemish Brabant.
* The opportunity to contribute to automation solutions with real impact on tax operations.
* A competitive salary and benefits package.
* A role blending engineering, process optimization, and collaboration with domain experts.
* An open and supportive work environment valuing initiative, transparency, and quality.
* Close interaction with both technical and operational teams, giving your work clear visibility.
