Senior React Developer (h/f)

The construction industry is composed of a majority of SMEs that build our cities. In spite of the very important work they do, these SMEs operate with very thin margins and often struggle financially : they have to provide work and pay for materials upfront, face fierce competition and get paid late, to such extent that 10.000 of them go bankrupt every year in France alone.

The financial management of construction projects is very complicated and yet, 70% of SMEs in the construction industry still use Excel to manage their business ! 🤯

Graneet aims to help construction SMEs improve their financial management and boost their margins by giving them access to visibility and transparency on their business, in real time.

In practice, their clients use Graneet to create and follow up on their quotes, generate and control their invoices, and monitor their margin in real time. They recover a peaceful management of their construction projets by accessing dashboards that display all the key indicators of their business and by collaborating with their entire team within the same platform. 🙌

Graneet addresses 100.000 companies in France only, and will expand to Europe where construction SMEs face the same issues. 🇪🇺

About the tech team 🕹

At the moment our tech team consists of 4 great people and will double in size over the next 6 months. This growth aims at bringing new functionalities to the very core of the Graneet platform, and deliver more high value features to our clients around 3 major topics:

• Keep track of new projects opportunities and issuing quotes
• Create project invoices easily conforming to the specifics of the construction legislation
• Manage expenses and allocate them per project to monitor the margin and profits made

Our code base is tested and relies on a monorepo which features:

• React for the frontend + Chakra UI and Storybook for components
• Rollup + Webpack for bundling the front
• Node (NestJS + TypeORM) for the backend APIs
• PostgreSQL for our database
• Docker for containers

DevOps-wise our CI is automated via GitLab and CleverCloud services, our French host. This allows us to provide a zero downtime deployment to our customers. AWS services (such as Lambda, EC2, S3, SQS, …) also cater a few more specific needs.

Here at Graneet we value quality and are eager to iterate and improve our dev-flows and processes. We are used to spending 50%+ of our time on conception and review, furthermore we apply the principles of the Lean methodology in order to track issues and reduce waste.
