• Understand your users: You'll learn how engineers work, run 5 whys on their problems, and check that the tool fits their day.
• Ship agents on solid foundations: You'll restructure our AI Software Factory, then ship agents for bug resolution, code review, QA, auto-approval and safe auto-merge, all fed with Qonto context.
• Measure and iterate: You'll set success metrics, interpret what they tell you, and run a second iteration fast.
• Evangelise what you build: You'll promote the product across engineering and collect feedback to improve it.

• Autonomy and pragmatism: You run work end-to-end and focus on what ships fast when the direction is blurry.
• Comfort with change: You enjoy shifting priorities and make decisions within a day.

What we can offer you

• End-to-end ownership: You'll own an internal product from vision to delivery, with engineers as your users.
• Visible impact: Your work will change how engineers build software across Qonto.
• Something new: You'll work in a fast-moving field where you're challenged daily and learn with every iteration.
• Freedom within a clear direction: You'll get a documented long-term vision and room to choose how to reach it.

Your future manager

You’ll report to Laetitia Riffaud, our AI Core Team Lead. Laetitia has spent 2 years at Qonto and has always loved building internal tools and improving developer experience. Laetitia enjoys fast iteration, stays close to engineers to understand their needs, and is driven by helping her team develop and grow.
