Job description

A note on timing

This role is part of our hiring plan, and we will start hiring for it again from mid-November 2026. We are keeping this page open so that we can meet great engineers before then.

If you apply now, we will reply within two weeks. If your profile is a strong match, we will set up a first conversation before November. Otherwise, we will get back to you when hiring restarts.

With your application, your profile joins our talent pool for up to 2 years. You can ask us to delete it at any time by writing to hiring@zefir.fr.

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: €45/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.

Our Operating Principles

🏔️ Steep Mountains Are Steep: Setting ambitious goals and working hard to achieve them.

🌊 Ride Reality: Actively seeking challenges and thriving by adapting flexibly to changes.

🏀 Play for the Front of the Jersey: Prioritizing team success over individual recognition.

Application & Process

We welcome applications from anyone, regardless of background, gender, sexual orientation, religion, age, or experience. Our team values authenticity and diverse perspectives.

For all roles, our interview process emphasizes hands-on exercises, case studies, or discussions about specific examples of your previous work. We ensure objectives and expectations are clearly communicated at every step.


Preferred experience

  • Entrepreneurial mindset with a demonstrated ability to turn ambitious ideas into practical solutions.
