We're collaborating with a financial company based in Zaventem, looking for a Senior Python Automation Engineer to help strengthen its internal automation ecosystem. This role combines technology, process optimisation, and digital innovation, supporting workflows within the organisation.
You'll be responsible for evolving an automation framework that powers critical business processes building new features, improving performance, and ensuring operational reliability. From back-end Python automation to front-end monitoring dashboards, you'll work across multiple layers of the stack and collaborate closely with business teams who rely on these tools every day.
If you enjoy ownership, appreciate well-structured systems, and like making complex processes smarter and smoother, this could be a great match.
Responsibilities
* Improve and troubleshoot Python automation scripts used across finance-related operational flows.
* Build and evolve an internal orchestration engine responsible for job scheduling, execution, logging, and monitoring.
* Create intuitive monitoring dashboards (React-based) for real-time oversight of automated processes.
* Manage and enhance the technical environment: Windows servers, Docker-based runtimes, and scheduling pipelines.
* Design systems with scalability, robustness, and long-term maintainability in mind.
* Work with business teams to understand workflows, exceptions, and process variations, translating them into resilient automation logic.
* Implement strong governance features such as auditability, traceability, and access controls.
* Maintain clear documentation of scripts, services, dashboards, and architecture decisions.
* Contribute to knowledge sharing and continuous improvement across the automation team.
Your Profile
* Solid Python engineering background, ideally with an emphasis on automation or scripting.
* At least 2 years of relevant experience.
* Experience building front-end dashboards using React (or similar frameworks).
* Familiarity with containerisation, especially Docker, and with job scheduling/orchestration tools.
* Experience working with Windows-based automation ecosystems.
* Strong understanding of software quality practices: version control, testing, CI/CD.
* Background in RPA or automation in financial, tax, or accounting environments is a plus.
* Ability to own technical deliverables end-to-end, from design to release.
* Understanding of workflow modelling and process optimisation.
* Awareness of governance and compliance needs (e.g., audit trails, data minimisation, ISO 27001 principles).
* Strong communication skills in English, plus full working proficiency in either Dutch or French.
* Collaborative, client-oriented approach, with the confidence to work autonomously when needed.
The Offer
* A full-time hybrid role in Zaventem with a stable financial organisation.
* The chance to shape a core automation platform that has immediate and visible impact on the business.
* Up to €6.5k for experienced candidates - interview process dependent.
* Full benefits package including mobility options.
* A role that blends process automation, technology, and financial operations.
* A supportive environment that values teamwork, transparency, and open communication.
* Opportunities to work closely with both technical peers and client-facing teams, directly influencing how the organisation delivers value.
