Job description

At Zefir, our Engineering Team is the driving force behind our mission to accelerate life changes. Growing rapidly from 9 to 30+ engineers, we don’t just write code—we solve meaningful problems for our customers.

From ideation to launch and beyond, engineers at Zefir take full ownership of their work, ensuring that every feature delivers the expected impact. We leverage LLM-based development workflows and shared best practices to automate repetitive tasks, allowing us to keep our codebase lean, scalable, and built for speed.

Responsibilities/Mission

  • Develop and deploy robust, high-performance APIs using Node.js (TypeScript), Nest.js, and GraphQL.

  • Build intuitive frontend applications with React.js and Next.js, delivering outstanding user experiences.

  • Collaborate closely with Product Managers and cross-functional teams (Operations, Growth, Brand) to prioritize features and deliver key objectives.

  • Own the full lifecycle of features from ideation and design through implementation, deployment, and performance monitoring.

  • Write clean, maintainable, thoroughly-tested code to ensure fast deployments and continuous improvement.

  • Implement comprehensive end-to-end (E2E) tests to ensure reliability and reduce code review cycles.

  • Proactively contribute to strategic decisions about the future direction of our web applications and infrastructure.

  • Leverage LLM-based libraries and implement key AI-driven functionalities (RAG, memory, agentic workflows) using stacks like Pinecone and Langchain.

Benefits

  • Competitive salary: You can run your own simulation with our salary calculator.

  • BSPCE (Stock Options): Available for everyone, with monthly vesting after year one, over a 4-year period.

  • Healthcare plan: Full coverage with Alan for team members, their partners, and children.

  • Office in Le Peletier, Paris (9th arrondissement): With flexible remote work options.

  • Swile meal card: €11 per worked day.

  • Swile mobility card: €42/month to support sustainable transportation (metro, carpooling, biking…).

  • Team events: Monthly Mixers to connect and share good times, and quarterly All Hands to celebrate wins across the company.
