Contribute to Engineering Culture

• Actively participate in code reviews, providing constructive feedback and learning from others
• Write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code that others can understand and evolve
• Champion engineering best practices: testing, documentation, observability, and operational excellence

• 5+ years of backend development experience with systems already shipped to production at scale
• Python mastery: it's your go-to language, your daily driver. Experience with PHP (or willingness to work on legacy PHP codebases)
• Solid backend fundamentals: APIs, databases, caching, queuing systems, distributed systems
• Modern backend architecture: distributed systems, asynchronous processing, event-driven architectures
• API design: you know the principles, whether REST, GraphQL, or similar
• Cloud infrastructure: hands-on experience with AWS, GCP, or Azure
• Containerization and orchestration: Docker and associated tools
• Git, CI/CD, and modern dev workflows: you're comfortable with all of it
• Autonomy: you're used to working independently and delivering without constant supervision

English is mandatory: it's the team's daily working language. French is a plus.

Nice to haves

• You're comfortable with AI tools (Copilot, ChatGPT, etc.) for prototyping, debugging, testing, or documenting, while knowing their limitations
• You've worked in a startup or production company where you had to figure things out with limited resources

What will really make the difference

You thrive in ambiguity, love diving into unfamiliar code, and navigate complex systems even when documentation is sparse (or non-existent). You prefer autonomy over micromanagement, transform messy problems into clean solutions, and always keep creators' needs top of mind.
