About the Modernization & Rationalization (MoRa) Team
Telenet has a large application landscape. Many applications were built for a world that no longer exists. The Modernization and Rationalization (MoRa) team is the answer to modernize what is worth keeping and retire what is not — and we are integrating AI into that work every day. Our team is part of the Software Factory cluster in the Software and Architecture Tribe. MoRa drives Telenet’s transition from legacy on-prem applications to cloud-native architectures by:
- Supporting teams to adopt cloud-native and scalable architectures.
- Contributing to Telenet’s software engineering standards and reusable templates, in close cooperation with architecture and platform engineering teams to make these available across Telenet.
- Providing technical guidance on modernization best practices, while keeping technical debt at sustainable levels.
As AI reshapes how software is built and operated, MoRa is at the forefront of integrating AI-driven practices into our modernization efforts. From intelligent code analysis and automated refactoring to AI-assisted solution designs.
Your role as Tech Lead
We are looking for a Tech Lead to join the MoRa team in our ambitious technical direction. In this role, you will provide technical leadership across Telenet’s software-owning teams, guiding them through complex modernization journeys while embedding AI capabilities into the development cycle.

- You work closely with Product Owners and architects to define a strong, forward-looking tech roadmap, aligned with modernization goals.
- You bring AI into everyday development, making work smarter through automation and better insights. You will lead the adoption of AI in our modernization toolchain — including AI-assisted code analysis, automated refactoring recommendations, and intelligent technical debt prioritization.
- You raise the bar on quality by driving best practices in security, performance, and code excellence.
You empower teams to grow, sharing your knowledge through coaching, workshops, and hands-on support.
