At prado, we build invisible home technology for the world’s best architects. Since launching our first flagship product in 2021, we have expanded our portfolio into a fully integrated ecosystem of lighting, ventilation, power, and security solutions. Our strong R&D focus and strategic approach to M&A fuel our rapid growth, with a team of 50+ people operating across 8 markets today.

To support this journey, we are looking for a senior back-end engineer to strengthen our team in our Ghent or Veurne office.

As we grow, our ability to move fast without breaking things depends on how well our systems support the people using them. Your mission is to ensure that the digital plumbing behind our workflows is strong, elegant, and adaptable.

You will play a central role in shaping how information flows, how processes scale, and how humans and software collaborate across the entire revenue journey.

requirements

You’re a systems-minded engineer with a deep understanding of how commercial, operational, and finance teams function, and a passion for helping them run smarter, faster, and more reliably. You thrive in the technical details of ERP and CRM platforms, with a particular focus on building robust systems that power sales, customer operations, and revenue workflows.

Whether your background is in solution architecture, ERP/CRM engineering, or backend development, what sets you apart is your ability to think holistically about processes and data flows. You know how to identify what truly drives impact, and you leverage technology to build scalable, efficient systems that form a strong operational backbone.

You bring maturity, independence, and ownership.

Preferably also:

• Strong business acumen and familiarity with commercial processes like quoting, sales ops, and order management
• Confidence working directly with non-technical stakeholders (Sales, Ops, Founders)
• Deep experience with ERP systems, preferably Odoo,  including custom model development, workflow design, and business logic implementation
• Proficiency with Python and scripting for automation and customization
• A passion for clean, simple, maintainable systems
• The ability to connect dots across departments, identify cross-functional themes, and help shape a forward-looking roadmap
• A deep fascination with AI, and a desire to work in an environment that encourages open experimentation and exploration

what you will do

• Own the backend toolstack and define the architectural roadmap for internal systems
• Translate high-level requirements from Sales, Operations, and Finance into scalable, elegant technical solutions
• Lead system integration projects related to M&A, consolidating tools and workflows across acquired entities
• Build and maintain integrations between Odoo and external platforms (e.g. CRM, e-signature, billing) using APIs and SDKs
• Drive automation and tooling initiatives to optimize and scale commercial operations
• Design and launch experiments aimed at improving team efficiency and operational effectiveness

what we offer

• A company where you will quickly feel at home due to the warm working atmosphere and where ambition comes first. You work within a team that wants to inspire you to tackle your job with passion. Office in Veurne and Ghent.
• A challenging position with responsibility and possibility to learn and grow.
• You get a competitive salary package adapted to your knowledge, skills and experience.
• The chance to work in a scale-up environment where you can help shape the future from the start. No legacy systems to maintain; instead, you’ll focus on building innovative solutions from scratch.
