YOUSIGN
Tech team
The role of the Product & Engineering team is to create the best solutions to meet the needs of our users.
What is our product? We offer a web application that allows contracts to be signed in just a few minutes. We also have an API that can integrate the e-signature process directly into the business applications of our customers. Since June 2022, we also allow our customers to automate the creation of their contracts to help them save time
Above all, we are looking for profiles that are committed to building the best possible product! So, if you're looking to make an impact, Yousign is the place to be.

Organization and methodologies
1. We work in multidisciplinary and autonomous teams,
🔹 8 Squads:
👉 6 squads work on "Product" topics: new features and public API for example,
👉 2 squads are particularly technical, the first one is responsible for large-scale technical improvements but also productivity (CI/CD in particular). The second one is responsible for the document life cycle, from uploading to the signature (storage, cryptography, etc.).
🔹 We also have cross-functional teams to support them: Engineering Manager, SRE, Data, QA, Security, Product Marketing and Brand Design.
2. Clear common objectives:
The OKR (Objectives Key Results) method allows teams to work towards clear and common objectives shared with the whole company. Each team can suggest initiatives to contribute to the global OKRs and the definition of the strategic company roadmap.
3. A proven working method
🔹 Two important steps allow us to bring more and more value to our customers: Discovery and Delivery,
🔹 We use a mix of Scrum and Kanban and our daily routine is punctuated by a few key elements: daily meetings, short iterations, regular product demos and frequent retrospectives to constantly improve.
4. Our tech culture: learning together
We promote internal and external knowledge sharing:
🔹 Guilds allow us to improve among experts in a subject area and share best practices amongst teams,
🔹 We encourage working in pairs. Especially in the Engineering team with peer-programming,
🔹 Once a month, we organize a moment to share so that everyone can present a technical topic that is important to them,
🔹 We share Product & Engineering topics on our blog, 🔹 Every year, each team member can go to a conference of their choice
5. Our product principles : SIGN
- Speed first
- Impact driven
- Growth mindset
- Neat Design
🔹 The goal is to guide our product decisions and allow team members to take actions on their own,
🔹 Every quarter we organize a retrospective on what worked, what didn't and we can work on in the future,
🔹 Every week we have a "team synch", 2 teams share their product news.
4. Motivations and qualities that we are looking for :
🔥 Autonomy and ownership: we bring topics throughout the product & development cycles, in order to bring value to our customers. Each Squad works with maximum autonomy to have a daily impact and participate in all stages of product creation,
🎸 Be creative: to meet technical challenges,
🥇 Rigorous: due to the importance of the service rendered to our customers, we have strong product quality and safety constraints,
🚀 Communication: the famous soft skills, so essential to the proper functioning of a team. Some examples: the ability to receive or give feedback, giving visibility on the progress of one's work or that of one's team.
