## About the Role

* Professional fluency in English (C1/C2).
 * Advanced programming skills in Python 3.12+, and JavaScript (or TypeScript).
 * Product judgment. You can tell the difference between a request and a requirement, and you have opinions about what should be built that you are willing to defend and to drop.
 * Senior-level experience building and operating back-end systems in critical production environments, including a period as tech lead, lead developer, or the de facto technical owner of a small team.
 * Working front-end experience. You do not need to be a front-end specialist, but you need to be able to ship a feature end-to-end without waiting for someone else, and to review front-end work credibly.
 * Ability to explain and trivialize technical subjects clearly to non-technical audiences
 * Real experience with GCP or an equivalent (AWS, Azure), or a clear willingness to get there fast.
 * Analytical and critical thinking, the ability to take responsibility for quality from prototype to production, and the ability to say no.
 * Fluency with AI-assisted coding tools (Claude Code and similar), including the ability to critically evaluate AI-generated code and continuously improve internal procedures.
 * Comfort with a die and retry philosophy: fail fast in development, rigor in production.
 * A genuine interest in producing battle-tested, production-grade code within a distributed environment, and in staying current on software engineering and security.
 * Entrepreneurial mindset: you find solutions, take initiative, and accept that at our size responsibilities do not come in neat boxes.

Bonus points

 * High bonus: familiarity with IoT, MQTT, or building automation (HVAC).
 * High bonus: networking knowledge: routers, VLANs. You will be asked to handle those.
 * Ability to challenge existing architectures, including ones that have worked for years.
 * True fullstack experience (from prototype to production, any framework, any language) and the ability to maintain a production fleet.
 * Infrastructure as code with Terraform.

## Description

* Implement, maintain, and continuously improve a robust, scalable, high-performance backend and cloud infrastructure.
 * Take full ownership of architecture and software development across the full cycle, from prototype to production.
 * Ensure stable and reliable real-time data flow between buildings and the cloud, including monitoring and alerting.
 * Lead the reduction of technical debt and the consolidation of our platform.

Lead and align (approximately 40%)

 * Translate commercial and product priorities from the leadership team and internal stakeholders into technical work, and give an honest read on cost, risk, and sequencing before anything is committed. Write these down. Decisions here are made in short documents, not in meetings, and this bullet is most of what you will be writing.
 * Contribute to what we build, not only how. Product direction here is shaped by the people closest to the system, and you will be one of them.
 * Grow the team. You will define what we need, run technical interviews, make the call on candidates, and own whether people ramp up well.

The position

You report to the CTO (Aaron) and work alongside two senior software engineers (Sylvain and Tim). You are the technical authority on the platform and the day-to-day lead for the team.

We have no dedicated ops team (yet), so running your own services in production is part of the job. There is no on-call rotation.

This is a hybrid position based in Central Paris, 1-2 days per week on site. The alignment part of this role works better in person, and the people you will be translating for are here.
