About the job

Requirements
  • Graduated from a top engineering school.
  • Work effectively in teams with varied profiles and professions, using pedagogy and a constructive approach in activities such as code reviews and pair programming.
  • Focus on creating value by understanding the client's business rather than pursuing technology for its own sake.
  • Promote artificial intelligence, particularly generative artificial intelligence, and continuously improve through technical monitoring.
  • Maintain high standards for the quality of delivered work and question or stop the production chain when necessary.
  • Work in a structured manner and apply organizational and continuous-improvement principles inspired by 5S.
  • Seek an environment that encourages continuous learning, teamwork, and initiative.
  • Complete a take-home refactoring exercise and participate in a live debugging exercise during the recruitment process.
Responsibilities
  • Design and develop useful, performant, and sustainable digital products for clients and their users.
  • Understand client problems and address them with products that are performant, maintainable, and value-oriented across the full production lifecycle from design through deployment.
  • Produce quality code within deadlines while integrating tests, refactoring, and team technical standards regardless of the technology used.
  • Conduct technical investigations, debug effectively, and correct defects sustainably in different environments.
  • Analyze code problems in depth to develop problem-solving skills.
  • Work with a large language model to accelerate development.
  • Collaborate closely with clients through regular exchanges to share progress, deepen understanding of their problems, and evolve products according to user needs.
Desired Qualifications
  • Previous experience is not required; the posting emphasizes potential over already-acquired expertise.
  • Opportunities are available to develop cross-functional skills in coaching, recruitment, sales, management, and technical marketing.
  • Participation in expert groups such as cybersecurity, serverless, performance, and green information technology is available.
