We’re looking for a hands-on Engineering Manager.

What you’ll do:

• Lead a team of engineers

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

• Create a culture of continuous improvement and operational excellence

• Provide mentorship and technical guidance to the team

• Collaborate with stakeholders.

Stack

Single-page application in Vue.js. API REST on the backend. Historically implemented with Django running on AWS ECS, which 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.

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
