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.
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 50+ countries.
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 🙄)
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 in 4-week cycles 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).
