AboutOkko

The way employees make purchases in companies is completely broken. Whether it’s for SaaS, hardware, services (such as consulting or marketing), or events, the average B2B purchase takes more than 60 days, requires 50+ emails, and involves many parties (IT, legal, compliance, finance, etc.). Nobody likes this manual process; it slows businesses down and positions the procurement function as a “hindrance to progress.” Finance and accounting people use ERP or P2P tools but their UX is poor and completely outdated.

We are building the go-to platform that will manage the entire purchasing process. With Okko, we are on a mission to:

• Give employees (internal buyers) a single and a self-guided front-door to easily create a request

• Provide procurement process managers with a no-code solution to manage approval workflows and integrate with business tools in a few clicks (e.g. Yousign for legal, Greenly for ESG, Netsuite for ERP, etc.)

• Create a productive space for every stakeholders to work on purchasing project with centralized context

• Create analytical dashboards to meet the growing strategic needs of procurement teams, particularly in terms of security, data privacy, and environmental issues (zero-carbon policy)

Our long-term ambition is to revolutionize B2B purchases and create a B2B purchasing experience equivalent to buying a book on Amazon! 💥

We’re still very early and we’re counting on you to raise our product / team / tech to another level!

We are looking for a highly skilled Founding Engineer with a strong product & tech background.

You are a technical leader at heart and will co-own with Robin the overall tech decisions and making sure it is the most relevant to our business & needs.

As Founding Engineer you will among others:

• Work hand-in-hand with Julien & Product Manager on finding the most relevant solutions. We believe techs being included very early in the “problem→solution→prod→iteration” process is key
• Build our technical stack
• Ensure software security, quality & maintainability
• Develop, deploy and maintain new features
• Handle our application in production
• Help structure & grow the organisation & people

And adapt most of this stuff to what we need to do and what you would like to do!

🛠️ Tech Stack

Our stack gets

• Modern JS stack (React / Node / Typescript) - currently leveraging blitzjs for early developments
• Managed infrastructure service (testing https://render.com/) - for now we want to spend as much time as possible on product features
• Other technos/methodologies we are currently using/doing: postgreSQL, prisma, jest & cypress, continuous deployment in staging, DDD, onion architecture, fp-ts, …

Join us and improve this core stack to better match our needs :)

We believe willingness to improve, to tackle issues & resilience are more important than existing hard skills.

That being said, some non-exhaustive-stuff we’d like to see in you:

• You have 4+ years of software engineer experience on full-stack web apps
• Entrepreneurial mindset: you are a problem solver, think out of the box & enjoy working on an early stage product
• User & Product centric: taking pragmatique decisions based on the added-value for the user is more important to you than the techno itself
• Instruct & learn: pedagogy matters to you, and you’re eager to both teach others and learn from others - no matter the seniority
• Embrace conflict: you feel like having divergent opinions will help us find better solutions together

Benefits

• A strong product and technical culture
• Challenging work experience building and owning an ambitious product
• Competitive compensation and equity package
