TLDR;

Are you fascinated by applying Software Engineering to the real world and noble purposes? Don’t wait, we have a challenging opportunity for you at Qomon!

Quick disclaimers:

• We welcome applicants that are (or will be) recent graduates! 🎓 (with very good software engineering knowledge and development skills – we pay more attention on seniority than experience here)

• We really are into building a diverse, inclusive and authentic workplace! We don’t expect candidates to match and feel at ease with every line of this lengthy job description: if you are excited by the opportunity, we strongly encourage you to apply and we shall see what impactful role we can shape together 🚀

We do believe it’s a one-of-a-kind opportunity

• You will be taking part in a growing startup (and B-Corp), human-sized, with an experienced staff, supporting entrepreneurial mindsets, ownership, and with a very open / transparent / 0 bullshit company culture. Just like any team member, you will take part in the “100 jours”, our quarterly 2-day company-focused gathering where we share / learn / discuss roadmaps, practices, strategic choices, etc.

• We are committed to a challenging, diverse and meaningful sector: citizen-driven organizations, NGOs, movements, campaigns, etc. all over the world.

• We are closely collaborating with a wide range of citizen-focused actors and organizations in France and in 30+ countries. Qomon mobile team is a key component of our company.

• We are at stage where we are starting to have still a growing product (with lots of ideas in the backlog) and scalability challenges (not like Google though 🙄)

General team info

Here is some quick information about the team.

Qomon

We currently are around 30 full-time employees and growing at a reasonable and organised pace:

• Paris: CEO, Head of Operations, 4 sales, 2 marketing, 1 PMM, 1 CSM (+2 intern), 1 dev Backend, 1 Full-Stack data-scientists

• Bordeaux: CTO (/backend dev) + 4 dev Backend, 8 (+ you) frontend devs, 1 CSM.

• Remote: Lisbon, Barcelona, Toronto – some of our teams work remotely.

We are expecting new full-time members in most Qomon teams by the end of 2024 and more later on ;)

On a related note, the day-to-day language at Qomon in Bordeaux is French. In Paris, we use a mix of French and English, as we’re fortunate to have international team members! Professional English is essential.

We meet (virtually) on a weekly basis twice:

• On Monday mornings to do demos and share achievements,

• On Monday afternoons, to align everyone on the week objectives & challenges.

We gather IRL for each quarter during the “100 days” (already described above).

We have a 0 useless / unprepared meeting policy.

We are a small team, the hierarchy is rather flat and there is no micromanagement. But this doesn’t mean that there is 0 management: team leaders, more senior members, and the CEO / CTO are always available on demand to discuss objectives, careers, everyday life issues, etc. And obviously, at least once a year 😊 It really is a collective adventure and we want everyone to feel at ease 🚀

Once a month, we organize a event (internal) called Goutech, which is a meetup for the tech side to share some new tech, new patterns, etc..

Team: Tech / Product

So the tech team is mostly in Bordeaux 🍷(The Data / R&D Team is based in Paris and one of the awesome backend dev is also in Paris)

It has a strong team spirit, it is composed of individuals with a diverse set of expertise, backgrounds and motivations which makes things interesting! 🔥

To be clear upfront, not all processes are set in stone yet and we are regularly challenging our organization / scopes / etc.

The current situation is that the product team works on 2-week sprints and we do quick written dailies to understand everyone’s progress and challenges.

In terms of general tooling we are using Gitlab, Slack, Discord, Clickup & Notion.
