#### **Role overview**

The Head of Core Systems Development leads the teams responsible for Allego's most business‑critical platforms, ensuring predictable delivery, technical coherence, and long‑term system health.

You lead a multi‑disciplinary team (15 people) consisting of Product Managers, Architects, and Software Engineers, and you work closely with Enterprise Architecture and key business stakeholders to ensure our platforms are stable, scalable, cost‑efficient, and future‑ready.

A central part of the role is people leadership: building a high‑performing engineering team through coaching, mentoring, talent development, and continuously improving modern engineering and delivery practices - including the responsible adoption of AI‑supported development.

#### **What you'll do**

* Lead the Core Systems Development team, ensuring predictable delivery and operational stability of business‑critical platforms.

* Manage and develop a large, multi‑disciplinary team (developers, architects, product managers) with a strong focus on career development, feedback culture, and team health.

* Drive technical coherence, quality, and cost efficiency across the core systems landscape in close collaboration with Enterprise Architecture and domain architects.

* Strengthen agile execution using Scrum and SAFe / Agile Release Trains, enabling cross‑team planning, dependency management, and continuous improvement.

* Raise engineering excellence across QA, automation, reliability, and secure-by-design practices, and promote the responsible use of AI in engineering workflows (e.g., productivity, quality, and learning).

* Partner with business and IT stakeholders to provide delivery realism, technical insight, and risk transparency to shared prioritization and decision‑making.

* Provide strategic leadership across our core product and platform domains, including areas such as CPMS integration \& orchestration, OCPP broker \& edge connectivity, billing \& invoicing, roaming \& interoperability, public/partner APIs, and tariffs/offers/policy engines, supported by enabling capabilities like platform/SRE, quality engineering, architecture/standards, and security engineering.
