As a Software Engineer, you'll shape our platform end-to-end – from a robust backend service to a modern front-end application. Our "Shape-Up" work model protects your focus time through 6-week cycles with clear goals, minimal meetings, and full autonomy in implementation. We offer a professional environment with a lived continuous delivery culture, disciplined handling of technical debt, and a "blameless" incident culture where mistakes are viewed as learning opportunities.

Your area of ​​responsibility

• As part of dynamic pairs, you design and implement sophisticated features end-to-end.
• You design robust APIs and implement them in high-performance, user-friendly interfaces.
• As a code owner, you assume full responsibility for your services.
• You regularly commit to the main branch, improve the delivery pipeline, and believe that "Done" only means "Released."
• You bring your services into production independently using our GitOps workflow (Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, Argo CD).

Your profile

• You have several years of professional experience in developing complex web applications and are at home on both sides of the stack.
• You have experience designing microservices architectures and RESTful APIs in a modern, object-oriented programming language. You bring the willingness and curiosity to develop this expertise with us, deep into Ruby.
• You're confident in TypeScript and have a thorough understanding of at least one modern front-end framework (e.g., React, Angular, Vue). Ideally, you already have experience with React or are motivated to become an expert in this area.
• You embrace agile practices such as Continuous Delivery and TDD. Ideally, you have experience in environments where deployments occur multiple times a day.
