In a nutshell
As our Digital Workspace Solutions Engineer, you are the architect and project driver of the digital tools and standards that power Picnic across the Netherlands, Germany, and France. Moving beyond daily ticket handling, you create and own the long-term roadmap, system standards, process automation, and vendor partnerships.
We are looking for a self-starting engineer who creates long-term vision, dares to decide and takes ownership of outcomes. An analytical fixer with strong IT engineering and project skills: someone who automates a repetitive task once rather than resolve it manually twenty times. You will bridge strategic vision with hands-on technical design to ensure a seamless, secure, and scalable digital architecture.
