Team: Tech / Product

So the tech team is mostly in Bordeaux 🍷.

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 have 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, Linear & Notion.

The backend stack

Here is a bit of name-dropping regarding our stack in the backend: Unix, Golang, Microservices, PostgreSQL, ElasticSearch, KrakenD, RabbitMq, Metabase, Trino & Dagster.

More infra related: Docker, Docker Compose, Kubernetes, Ansible, Terraform, Monitoring (Telegraf + Influxdb + Grafana, Zabbix)

The infra stack is shared, extended & owned by all the tech team (Backend, Frontend & Data).

As a Backend Developer, you may contribute to several areas:

Our main focuses are to deliver awesome new features to our clients and keep the platform in a healthy running state. We are part of the Product team and work hand in hand with the frontend & data teams.

• Software engineering: Develop, test, improve our utils, APIs & Backoffice

• Database engineering: tune database models / requests / configurations

• Data Engineering: automation & plumbing between systems

• Product Development: collaborate on the design of next features

• DevOps: work on CI/CD, monitoring, etc.

• Client Support: help our CSM / AE team into finding the right solutions for our clients & prospects

We obviously do not expect full proficiency over all those areas (awareness & curiosity will be valued).

Your future objectives

Here is a subset of your future objectives:

• Implement the backend side of new features

• Work on making our product more technologically scalable

• Take part in creating the Product roadmap

• Obviously, enjoy doing the tasks of the roadmaps ;)

• Contribute to the company processes and discussions
