Job Description
The Mission
Join a dedicated product team operating in full startup mode, building the next breakthrough social platform. We’re creating something that has never existed before – and we need you to make it happen.
What You’ll Do
- Iterate at high velocity: experiment, test with our audience, then consolidate what works quickly and learn over perfection.
- Ship features that create real user value, taking calculated risks and smart shortcuts to maximize business impact.
- Build and scale backend services and APIs (REST/GraphQL) that power a world‑class mobile experience.
- Collaborate closely with iOS/Android, Product, and QA teams with a shared product ownership mindset.
- Evolve the architecture (async, event‑driven, messaging) pragmatically to support growth without over‑engineering.
- Drive performance, reliability, and observability with full ownership and proactivity.
- Shape the product culture and push the entire team toward excellence.
You’ll have the autonomy to make decisions, the freedom to experiment, and the responsibility to deliver results. This is not a role where you execute someone else’s plan – you’ll co‑create the product strategy.
Tech Stack
Core: Python (asyncio), FastAPI, REST/GraphQL, MySQL, RabbitMQ, Docker/K8s.
Legacy/Bonus: PHP, Elasticsearch, MongoDB.
Qualifications
The Must‑Haves
- Strong backend programming skills with deep knowledge of Python (asyncio) and SQL databases.
- Proven experience designing scalable APIs and event‑driven architectures (queues/messaging).
- Data‑driven approach to decision‑making with a strong interest in analytics.
- Results‑oriented mindset: constantly finding relevant shortcuts and pragmatic solutions.
- Fluent in English + French mandatory.
- 5‑10 years of experience minimum.
The Nice‑to‑Haves
- Experience in B2C startups where you’ve seen products grow from 0 to 1.
- Interest in AI and ML applications in consumer products.
- Side projects that show your passion for building and experimenting.
- Experience working in fast‑paced, cross‑functional teams.
- Familiarity with mobile‑first architectures and constraints.
What Will Really Make the Difference
This isn’t about maintaining systems – you’ll be building a social experience with creative freedom to shape it. The ideal candidate has an experimentation mindset, product passion, and genuine ownership. You get excited about A/B test results and user metrics because you want to see your work in millions of hands. If you see code as a craft but features as the art, this role is for you.
