Our mission

At Fabriq, we help manufacturers improve their operational performance through continuous improvement.
We believe this mindset should apply internally too — that’s why we’re launching the Business Enablement Unit, a platform team dedicated to empowering our internal teams.

About the Business Enablement unit

The Business Enablement Unit helps business teams at Fabriq with technical initiatives so they can minimize time spent on low-value-added activities.

It operates as a Platform Team, offering internal tools, services, and automations to reduce cognitive load and boost the effectiveness of stream-aligned teams.

• Examples of topics covered:

  • Operational product improvements (e.g. ticket process builder, event type builder, SSO config)

  • Backoffice enhancements

  • Tool integrations

  • Internal tools development

  • Demo area maintenance and optimization

  • Feature flags management

We’re looking for a hands-on Engineering Manager to launch and lead this new unit.

You’ll be the first team member, responsible for both delivering impactful code and building the team from scratch (up to 3–4 people, including yourself). This is a hybrid role: part individual contributor, part team leader.

What you’ll do:

• Hire and structure a small, high-performing team (1 to 3 engineers)

• Collaborate with stakeholders from Onboarding Managers, Sales, Customer Success, etc. to identify and prioritize initiatives

• Ensure technical quality, maintainability, and long-term scalability of solutions

• Deliver high-quality software solutions to help internal teams work more efficiently

• Create a culture of continuous improvement and operational excellence

• Provide mentorship and technical guidance to the team as it grows

• Champion platform team best practices to reduce complexity and cognitive load for others

What we’re looking for:

• Proven experience as a Software Engineer

• Strong skills and appetite for managing people, teams and delivery

• Knowledge of Lean and Kanban is a plus

• You care about users and the impact of your work

• Excellent communication and collaboration skills with non-technical stakeholders

• Comfortable working remotely and asynchronously

• Fluent in French and English

Stack

Single-page application in Vue.js. API REST on the backend. Historically implemented with Django running on AWS ECS, that is being phased out for services written in TypeScript and running on Deno. The database is AWS Aurora with Postgres compatibility.

Back-end

On the back end, the REST API is historically implemented with Django. However, new developments are done with Deno — so, TypeScript.

The database technology is AWS Aurora with Postgres compatibility, for both Django and Deno servers. With Deno, we use Drizzle as a lightweight ORM.

We heavily use Honeycomb and Sentry to understand what goes on at scale.

Our coding style in TypeScript is inspired by data-oriented programming.

Front-end

On the front end, our web app is a single-page application in Vue.js. It is partially in TypeScript; we migrate from JavaScript as we go.

The front-end application is continuously deployed with Cloudflare Pages, which allows for preview URLs on pull requests.

We use Claap to share videos of our work and Sentry to log errors.

We also have a mobile application, developed with Vue.js and Capacitor.

Infrastructure

The servers run as containers on AWS. We use ECS and Fargate, and we plan to use Kubernetes (specifically EKS) in the future.

The infrastructure is entirely Terraformed, using CDKTF with TypeScript.

A small number of customers have dedicated infrastructures. We are in the process of building a solution for on-premise deployments.

Screening

30 minutes

• Goal: test the compatibility between the desire of the candidate and the needs of Fabriq

• Presentation of the company, current issues, and work environment

• Gathering of information on the candidate’s availability, desires, and salary

Management interview

45 minutes

• Goal: test the candidate’s management skills

Technical test

2 steps: 45 minutes + 75 minutes

• Goal: test the candidate’s technical skills

1st step:

Informal discussion on tech topics: the technical stack we use, the one you’re used to using, the technologies you like, your technical convictions, etc.

2nd step:

For the first 15 minutes, you’ll need to share your screen on your development environment so that we can watch you work on a JavaScript or TypeScript project. If you don’t already have a project ready to share, don’t worry: we’ll give you a kata. This part aims to validate your development skills. The code itself will not be judged. Candidates are asked to bring in their code just to put them at ease. For the next hour, we’ll work together to produce a technical design for an existing Fabriq feature. Usually, the feature we propose is the comment thread in the application. You’ll be given all the background you need during the interview. This part aims to validate three things:

• Some technical design fundamentals;

• Your ability to think of solutions to problems on the fly and share them with others

• Our ability to work together to produce a technical design.

Team interview

45 minutes

• Goal: test the person’s ability to integrate into the team, to work in a team, to explain their knowledge

Meet the CEO

30 minutes

• Goal: present the company’s vision, checking that Fabriq’s culture matches that of the candidate
