Elevo is looking for a Full Stack Lead Developer (FSLD) to lead one of our squads as a hands-on team leader. You’ll work closely with a Product Manager (PM), Product Designer (PD) and 2 Software Engineers (SWE), with support from our DevOps.

As a FSLD, you’ll spend around 70% of your time coding and the rest on the people management, guiding the squad through technical decision-making, delivery, and team coordination.

More specifically, you will:

• Set priorities with the PM, align with design, and ensure delivery follows the highest quality standards.

• Drive technical architecture for backend and frontend systems.

• Manage 2 software engineers, supporting their growth, feedback cycles, and day-to-day coordination.

• Own the operational health of your squad’s scope, by contributing to monitoring, observability, and post-mortem routines.

• Participate in recruitment and onboarding as we continue to grow the R&D team.

• Code, pair, review, share, etc.

Examples of what you might work on:

• Collaborate with your PM to redesign a product workflow based on user interviews and usage data.

• Lead the development of exciting new features, from early architecture choices to production rollout.

• Scale up our reporting capabilities, improve SQL performance, and make data actionable for users.

• Drive architectural decisions for new integrations or scalable data flows between internal and external systems.

• Work with our DevOps to add monitoring to a business-critical feature and resolve a production bottleneck.

Today, Elevo’s R&D team is structured into 3 cross-functional squads, each with the same core setup. As FSLD, you’ll be responsible for one of them.

• Lives in France.

• Has 5+ years of experience in a full stack environment, ideally on a Ruby on Rails SPA application.

• Has already mentored or led other developers (formally or informally).

• Is hands-on, loves shipping code, and knows when to favor pragmatism over perfection.

• Can make decisions, set direction, and bring clarity to ambiguous problems.

• Is comfortable with our stack or quick to adapt (Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL, React, Tailwind).

• Collaborates well with PMs, Designers, and other stakeholders.

• Brings a positive attitude, curiosity, and drive to help others grow.
