YOUR JOB IN A NUTSHELL 

What if you could shape the backbone of a bank’s digital ecosystem? At APS, we don’t just maintain infrastructure. We design, secure, and future-proof the web platforms that keep BNP Paribas Fortis running. 

Our mission? Delivering rock-solid, high-stakes infrastructure while pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.
  

This is where architecture meets action:

• Scalable by design: We don’t just build systems. we engineer resilient, high-performance solutions that evolve with the bank’s needs.
• Standardization with impact: From web infrastructure to security, we industrialize best practices to turn complexity into consistency.
• 24/7 reliability: Our production support is always on - just like the systems we safeguard.
• Security as a mindset: Every deployment, every integration aligns with the bank’s highest security standards, no exceptions.
    

But we don’t stop at execution. We own the blueprint:

• Crafting Detailed Technical Design (DTD) documents that turn vision into reality, expanding on Enterprise Architecture’s OPAD frameworks to define workflows, integrations, and dependencies with precision.
• Bridging the gap between strategy and implementation, ensuring every technical decision drives measurable impact.

Why join us? Our team of 9 (based at Warandeberg 3, Brussels) is a cross-functional powerhouse, where exposure to diverse technologies and teams means endless growth. Today, we master WebSphere-based applications on IaaS Cloud. Tomorrow? We’re leading the charge toward PaaS and Kubernetes, embracing the latest cloud innovations to redefine what’s next.

AND IN DETAIL

• Design the backbone: Deliver Detailed Technical Designs (DTDs) complete with server specs, connection details, and everything teams need to configure flawlessly.
• Shape workflows: Perform OPAD reviews for business clients, fine-tuning their architectural needs and optimizing processes.
• Standardize excellence: Ensure a uniform approach to the bank’s web infrastructure, consistency as a rule, not an exception.
• Grow together:
  • Collaborate to foster a culture of T-shaping and continuous improvement.
  • Share expertise across team members and Communities of Practice.
• Balance: 50% on-site (Brussels), 50% remote.

YOUR TALENTS AND COMPETENCES

You thrive in complex enterprise environments, where infrastructure isn’t just about technology. It’s about enabling what’s next. Your expertise spans:

• Web Application Hosting: From WebSphere and Kubernetes to IIS, Tomcat, and HTTP. You know how to design for performance, scalability, and reliability.
• Web Security: You’re fluent in ISVA, F5 WAF, API Gateways, HSM, oAuth2, TLS, and more. Because security isn’t an afterthought, it’s the foundation.
• Cloud Experience: You’ve worked in cloud environments and understand how to leverage them without compromising control or compliance.
• Tools of the Trade: Whether it’s MS Visio, Archimate, or other architectural tools, you turn complex ideas into clear, actionable designs.
    

But technical skills are only part of the story. We’re looking for someone who:

• Collaborates naturally: you’re a team player who lifts others up and knows that the best solutions come from shared insights.
• Takes ownership: a quick self-starter with a proactive attitude, you see challenges as opportunities and act before being asked.
• Communicates with clarity and influence: whether it’s aligning stakeholders or simplifying complex ideas, your voice carries weight.
• Thinks critically and connects dots: your analytical and synthesis skills help turn data into decisions.
• Puts the customer first with a sharp risk awareness, you balance innovation with responsibility.
    

Languages:

• You communicate fluently in English. That’s how we connect across teams.
• Knowledge of French or Dutch? That’s a welcome bonus.
