Softwareentwickler jobs in France

We’re looking for a highly accomplished Senior Software Engineer (Django Specialist) to act as the primary backend authority within a multi-disciplinary product squad at one of Europe’s fastest-growing legal-tech scale-ups. Our AI-enabled products are already in the hands of thousands of lawyers and in-house customers; now we need the deepest Django expertise to harden and extend the platform’s core while we accelerate feature velocity and market expansion.

Operating within a cross-functional squad and collaborating closely with the Technical Lead, you will take ownership of our most complex backend systems and architectural decisions. Your work will shape database design, asynchronous processing pipelines, performance engineering, and security posture. Experience with Vue 3 or modern front-end tooling is a plus, enabling you to contribute effectively to full-stack feature development.

For a senior engineer who excels at navigating intricate codebases, designing clean and scalable abstractions, and raising the technical bar through mentorship and example, this role offers significant impact on a modern, cloud-native platform undergoing rapid growth.

This position offers the scope to operate with autonomy while working within a guided squad structure. As a squad’s developer you will translate complex product requirements into dependable, scalable solutions; define service boundaries and migration strategies; contribute to technical design reviews; and ensure our Python ecosystem is resilient and production-ready.

You’ll have meaningful ownership of mission-critical components, direct influence on technical decision‑making, and the opportunity to help shape how the engineering organisation tackles its most challenging problems as we scale across markets and use cases.

• Architect and deliver robust, scalable solutions for the entire product suite, taking full ownership of complex initiatives end‑to‑end together with your squad.
• Design and evolve sophisticated systems that meet performance, security, and maintainability goals.
• Remain a core hands‑on contributor across the stack, debugging the hardest issues and setting the quality bar through example.

• Work closely with product, design, and AI engineering partners to translate ideas into reliable, user‑facing functionality.
• Partner with the Technical Lead to refine the project scope and implementation plan and align architectural decisions with business objectives.
• Communicate complex software concepts and trade‑offs clearly to both technical and non‑technical stakeholders, fostering informed, data‑driven decisions.

• Production‑grade Python & Django mastery with clean, modular architecture patterns.
• Modern frontend know‑how in Vue 3 (preferred) or React for seamless end‑to‑end delivery.
• Rigorous quality mindset : pytest unit suites, Cypress integration / e2e, and contract tests baked into CI.
• Data‑layer depth : PostgreSQL optimiser / tuning, Redis caching, event / queue pipelines with RabbitMQ or Kafka.
• API craftsmanship : idiomatic REST and GraphQL design, versioning strategies, thorough documentation.

• Autonomously operate within the team driving discussion with the rest of the squad.
• Mentors peers through design reviews, pair programming, and knowledge sharing, uplifting overall engineering quality.
• Communicates complex software trade‑offs clearly to engineers, PMs, and other non‑technical stakeholders.

• You must be located in the CET -2 / +2 zone for this role!
• Be open to be working as Full Stack developer by delivering end‑to‑end solutions.
• You must have at least 4 years of experience with Django.
• You must have at least 6 years of professional experience as a Software Developer.
