Job description

Mindee is the leading developer tool that powers document understanding. We are looking for our next Senior Software Engineer to join our small but mighty Backend team (only 3 engineers today).

Our mission is to provide developers with an API able to parse any type of document with better than human accuracy. We’re already deployed with top players in France, like Qonto, Spendesk, or Payfit, and are rapidly expanding in Europe and North America. We raised a $14M Series A led by GGV Capital in 2021, just after graduating from Y Combinator (YC).

So, why do we need you?

  • We need more hands 👋 to build the entry point of the API – so we are reliable for our users!
  • We’re constantly improving the experience for our users, so you’ll be developing Mindee API & Platform 🚀(exciting new features with Python microservices)
  • Our user base is expanding constantly, which means that you’ll need to give our core libraries some ❤️ so we can continue to have fast and reliable development
  • A bigger team means more attention to quality and documentation, we’ll need you here too 📝
  • To teach us something new 🧠— help us ensure we’re using best practices when it comes to tests and development

A bit more about us….

Our application ecosystem leverages the latest web development paradigms, working among other stacks with modern Python (3.8+), Flask/FastAPI ecosystems, PostgreSQL, Redis, React.js, Docker, Kubernetes, Spinnaker while being agnostic of cloud providers.

The platform consists of:

  • An intuitive and visually rich web platform where you can use or create document parsing endpoints
  • A developer REST API handling ~20 000 documents per hour for our worldwide customers

Preferred experience

We’d love to talk to you if you are…

  • 6+ years of experience building, maintaining, and scaling backend systems
  • Comfortable with Python and have already used Flask, FastAPI or similar in a production environment
  • Experienced in implementing features based on asynchronous tasks/messaging (RabbitMQ, Celery, Redis…) and able to understand asynchronous code and communication
  • Knowledgeable on various database systems, especially PostgreSQL, Redis or a NoSQL db
  • Competent with Git and CI/CD pipelines
  • Fluent in English.

Recruitment process

You’ll have 3-4 touch points with different members of Engineering Leadership and the Backend team.

We are still small so we can curate the interview process based on the candidate to make sure we assess the right skills ✨

You will be accompanied through the process by our Talent Acquisition manager to ensure you are fully prepared for each step.

Ultimately, our goal is to have a thorough yet efficient process where you get a good sense of who we are!
