Meet the registration team

• Are you a developer who likes to take ownership, help steer the direction and contribute to building critical platforms? Then you will feel at home here.
• Technically, you're in the right place. We work with Java, Spring Boot, Angular, Kubernetes, PostgreSQL, Oracle and Terraform in an AWS environment. We continuously invest in our CI/CD pipeline, automation and quality, so you can focus on building, improving and learning.

• The registration team currently consists of three full-stack developers, a product owner and a tester. Together, we develop and maintain the registration platforms for .be, .vlaanderen and .brussels domain names. These platforms are used every day to search for, register and manage domain names.
• Our teamwork is based on Sociocracy 3.0: no top-down decisions, but an environment in which every voice counts and in which you actively help shape technical, architectural and content-related choices.
• You are never alone. Together with 20 engineers spread across five self-managing engineering teams, we form a close-knit Technology unit. We consciously work across team boundaries: knowledge is shared, colleagues help out where necessary, and expertise circulates freely. This allows you to continue to grow, learn from others and help build solutions with impact.

In short: autonomy, strong collaboration and room for personal growth, that's what working in our unit is all about.
