Description du poste

At JobTeaser, we believe the new generation is the future of business, and that young talent has so much to offer to the professional world and society as a whole.

But finding your path as a student? That’s not easy.

And for companies, understanding and recruiting this generation isn’t any simpler.

That’s where we come in.

JobTeaser is the career space of 800+ European schools and universities, seamlessly integrated into their Student Hubs.

For students: a platform and tools to help them find their path, showcase their skills, and land an internship, a work-study program, or their very first job that truly fits them.

For companies: privileged access to the best young talent, even before they officially enter the job market.

For schools & universities: a complete career and recruitment platform to boost students’ employability.

Today, we support over 2 million students and young graduates across Europe.

And you — are you ready to make an impact on the new generation?

What will be your mission?

We are scaling a platform used by millions across Europe and continuously evolving our architecture, balancing a Rails monolith with distributed services.

We are looking for a Backend Engineer who enjoys making pragmatic technical decisions with real product impact.

You will join an agile squad with full autonomy over a wide scope of the JobTeaser product. Along with other engineers, a product manager and a product designer, you will be in a position to make technical calls to maintain and improve a complex SaaS product with a wide impact on millions of users across Europe.

Main missions and objectives

• Elaborate, develop and maintain features on a modern stack including Ruby and Go microservices, a Ruby on Rails monolith, Kubernetes, gRPC APIs, Kafka, ElasticSearch, PostgreSQL and MySQL databases
• Inform product design, priorities and constraints in an autonomous product squad
• Participate in architectural decisions and tooling improvements for our tech stack and our migration towards a microservice architecture
• Contribute to best practice discussions and process improvements within the Backend Chapter, our internal community of backend engineers
• Write automated tests and deploy to production several times a day in a Continuous Deployment Devops culture
• Monitor and fix production issues on your team’s functional and technical scope
• Participate in code reviews and pair programming sessions
• Learn and teach through dedicated time for Tech sharing and Mentoring

What about our Tech Department?

Our stack

• A Ruby on Rails monolith
• Postgres, MySQL and Redis
• ElasticSearch and Algolia
• gRPC
• Kafka
• React, Next.js, React testing library, TypeScript and Storybook
• AWS hosting, Kubernetes, monitored with Grafana/Loki
• Continuous deployment with Github & CircleCI

Our organization (the famous “Spotify model” adapted so differently by each company)

• 100 people (engineers, product people and data teams)
• 3 product tribes with multiple impact teams in each
• 1 platform tribe including QA team, 1 developer experience team, 1 devops & SRE team
• Each squad with a hands‑on Engineering Manager
• Staff Engineers report directly to Head of Engineering
• Software craftsmanship: clean code, testing, peer programming, code review, etc.

Who are you?

• A passionate developer with some experience in at least one Web backend technology, but eager to learn more. While we mainly work with Ruby and Go in this Squad, we think specific technologies can be learned, and we are more interested in your problem solving abilities than your experience in a specific language or framework.
• You strive towards Technical Excellence, for yourself and your team.
• You feel responsible for the code you write and supporting it in production: “You build it, you run it”
• You are comfortable communicating with non-technical stakeholders, understanding their concerns and those of our users
• You are motivated to join a team with shared values of humility, engagement, agility and enthusiasm

Everyone has their own story, their own imperfections, their own skills and above all their desire to learn, to share and to help others. It is a very nice team that I suggest you join!

This position is open to full remote within France. To maintain our team bond, we simply ask for one trip to our Paris office every two months.

Please note: You must be a resident of France and hold a valid work permit to apply.

Package: 55.000€ to 70.000€ (only on fix, no bonus on this position)

• Join a mission-driven company with a concrete impact on the new generation.
• Share our three core virtues with our people all over Europe: #Committed, #OneTeam, #DrivEn.
• Take part in a dynamic internal life, where everyone can contribute (all-hands, local parties, team drinks, team-buildings, etc.).
• Grow and develop your career with a strong training policy, including an annual individual budget for learning opportunities (95% of our employees were trained last year!).
• Enjoy our flexible work environment: remote-friendly, with one month per year from anywhere in Europe, and home office equipment support. Some positions can even be fully remote.
• Benefit from our Family Care Policy: 4 additional paid days off during your return month from parental leave, 3 paid child-sick days per year, and other initiatives to support parents.
• Take care of your mental health with Moka Care: 4 free therapy or coaching sessions per year (with additional support in challenging personal situations), plus regular workshops for managers in partnership with Moka Care and Alan.
• Make your voice count: our Take Care Survey (run twice a year) ensures employee feedback directly shapes JobTeaser’s culture, collaboration and cross-team work.
• Protect your focus time with our No-Meeting Wednesday mornings initiative.
• Collaborate closely with our CSE, actively involved in enhancing work life and benefits (with the HappyPal platform)
• Enjoy the essentials: RTT, health insurance, lunch vouchers, holiday bonus, and 50% public transport reimbursement.
• A modern and well-located office at WeWork - including delicious barista coffee and free yoga lessons.
• Be proud: 88% of our employees say they are proud to work in their team at JobTeaser (Internal Take Care Survey, November 2024).
