You’d be someone we’d love to collaborate with if you :

• You have at least 7 years of coding experience (back-end / full stack) and you want to keep coding at least half of your time!

• You have at least one significant prior experience managing a full-stack engineering squad (2-3 years)

• You demonstrate strong leadership to guide your team, backed by extensive technical expertise for coaching and a pragmatic mindset for identifying clear, effective solutions.

• You’re comfortable:

  • Building, running and continuously iterating on squad rituals that fit your squad’s context and foster efficiency & velocity.

  • Collaborating with cross-functional counterparts: PM, Product Designer.

  • Supporting and coaching your IC direct reports, and giving them regular feedback to help them grow in alignment with wider company goals.

  • Managing in both French and English, in a remote context.

• You’re comfortable being hands-on in a full-stack context, through code and design document review or code contributions outside of the team’s critical path.

• You’re product-minded: not content with executing on pre-defined tasks and roadmap, you’re directly in touch with business challenges and customer pains, and use this to inform your focuses, prioritization calls, and the direction you provide your team.
