Job description

At the start of 360Learning's growth, we were only 10 developers in the R&D department working on a single code base. Today, we are divided into 12 “product squads” made up of developers, product managers, and designers and 5 “tech squads” (DevOps, DX, Data, Architects…).

Our Software Architects are “hands-on” problem solvers who coach our engineers on code organization, technical debt solving and big features implementation. They are accountable for leading tech roadmaps (performance scalability, security…), experiment new technologies, make PoCs and make sure our architecture remains a reference in the SaaS industry. This is a unique opportunity to :

- Work with complex and cross-cutting challenges: Building expertise around a complex codebase on which analysis and modeling capabilities are key. Significant traffic (4.5 million monthly active users, 1 million courses played per week, 2 data centers) with a considerable volume of data to manage. A strong focus on “clean architecture” for long-term growth. The opportunity to stay "hands-on" by regularly refactoring our code, helping squads with their complex projects ...

- In a scale-up wishing to improve itself: Align R&D on strategic subjects: architecture, stack, organization, roadmap, objectives. Increase the skills of teams by disseminating good practices, organizing workshops and writing documentation. All in a context of strong international expansion of the product.

- Within a high-level team: Our R&D brings together some eighty engineers recognized for their ability to analyze and model extremely complex codebases. Our decentralized peer-review process allows everyone to benefit from the expertise of the other and to grow.

• Set up several good development practices in the team (e.g. import practices and dependencies between our modules)

Within 6 to 12 months, you will:

• Be strategic in the architectural choices for all our important projects (e.g. design of our messaging queue)
• Lead the evolution of our architecture and our technologies (e.g. to better segment our core-objects and the corresponding modules, introduce new Services or data pipelines in the stack )
• Evangelize and train our R&D on these developments by defining all the corresponding good practices
