the year CircleCI was founded
CircleCI has been operating as the largest continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) platform for more than a decade. Launched in 2011, they now have more than 600 employees across the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, Japan and France. Their headquarters are located in San Francisco, USA and as part of their culture they deliver value as a remote-first based company. Since the beginning the company started to function as remote-first and helps the team members to stay well connected with tools, online meetings and activities. They focus on providing a balanced life environment for their employees by supporting them with different programs for their health and wellness and their professional development. The CircleCI France team was born out of the acquisition of a french start-up called Ponicode. This outpost for research and development in the Developer Experience field has playfully kept its DNA as a creative and innovation focused startup while leveraging the processes and resources of the global company to do things bigger, faster and better.

CircleCI's mission is to empower technology-driven organizations to do their best work and make engineering teams more productive and innovative by managing change. They seek to build, test and deploy by using intelligent automation. For CircleCI Software is an idea problem, not a delivery problem.
Consequently they have made their mission to help manage change so software teams can innovate faster. No matter the change. CircleCI is expanding away from its tight link to Github and they are continuously adding more integrations to widen the scope of how much change they are capable of handling.
In terms of usage and revenue it enabled the company to skyrocket. With a more elaborate enterprise offer, one of the most competitive free tier to help all developers and a maturing platform their recruitment strategy is now focused on one point: consolidating the strongest team to take CircleCI to its logical next step - an IPO or a series G funding round.
CircleCI’s culture and values drive the everyday work, from how team members collaborate and make decisions to how they define the processes and put them into practice. The company’s work is not only focused on delivering new features or generating revenue, but also creating an environment for its employees to be excited to be part of. The culture allows everyone to collaborate, inspire each other and live their values. Six core values are shared within the company: inclusion, empathy and respect; openness and transparency; ambition and impact-driven; quick and continuous; resilience; alignment, empowerment and accountability.
Diversity of the team members and of the consumers makes the company stronger and filled with different points of view.
As a globally distributed company information and access is everything to empower the teams and let them take action.
Meaningful projects are the main focus of the company, where the acceptance of facing risk and failure is welcomed in order to meet the goals.
Rapid recovery is the company's DNA, their mindset is to process and recover rapidly.
Empowered team members with the capacity to determine and execute the best path forward.
Quick experimentation and continuous learning are preferred in the company rather than doing everything at once.
CircleCI strives to create an environment where every team member is excited to be a part of, where they can collaborate, and where they can inspire one another. They believe where there's a diverse group of people, incredible things can happen. Diversity of the team members and of the consumers makes the company stronger and filled with different points of view. That is why they are actively hiring the best people from a variety of backgrounds and multitude of perspectives. For its employees CircleCI created “Inner Circles”, employee resource groups created by employees to create safe spaces for every team member, to create allies to celebrate and to empower one another. They seek and strive to foster a community and inclusiveness within the company and greater communities. For the community, they partnered with numerous organizations to improve diversity and inclusion in the tech environment, such as: Code2040, Clojure Bridge, Day of Security, and many more.
CircleCI gives the opportunity to each and everyone to become a stakeholder of the company’s CSR through the employee Resource groups. They are many ways to be impactful across the organisation. For example the Queer Sphere, the LGBTQA focused group, organized a Q&A session with one of the most famous drag performer in the United States to discover the insightful and inspirational story of this impactful member of the LGTQA community. Circle[SHE]i celebrated under-recognized women of the IT industry through the month of March to all employees thus creating a space of recognition and knowledge for all of them. CircleCI tries to nurture their values inside and outside the organization through this employee resource groups and in many more ways all year long. ㅤㅤ

CircleCI France (formerly Ponicode) is the Paris-based entity of CircleCI. Since 2011 CircleCI works on the future of software engineering and more precisely, the future of the developer life. The team is facing exciting challenges around developer experience, artificial intelligence and data. Their goal is to make developers’ lives easier by designing solutions that will fit their needs and accelerate them in their day to day.
The CircleCI France office is looking for talents with an explorer mindset eager to work on projects that will impact the software industry future.
They are looking for more than a skill set: the team is made of motivated, smart determined people. The software engineers and data scientists who want to join should be people-driven and excited about the challenges around building new tools enabling developers to shift left.
Open-minded and life-long learners are the people you will meet in the CircleCI France team and they are looking for candidates who fit that spirit.
They may be a young team but they have lots of thoroughly followed rituals!
Everyone has a voice in the adventure thanks to weekly meetings whether it is to discuss new product capabilities or better ways to organise the team, they regularly organise team building activities, team dinners and open mic sessions. They are not missing an opportunity to organise privileged team moments such as afterwork drinks and they are particularly fan of their annual seminar! The last one took place in Disneyland Paris, can’t wait to see what's the next one going to be like.
In the more practical day-to-day the team shares daily stand-ups in smaller teams, 1-to-1 meetings with our Senior Engineering Manager... The end game is that everyone has a say in the product development and is a key member of the company success.
CircleCI France has an office located in the center of Paris, a stone’s throw away from the Louvre Museum and next to the best restaurants and bars of the capital!
Oh. And they love a good afterwork together.
