BackEnd Software Engineer (H/F)

Is the job market a Jungle?
Welcome to the Jungle is the multichannel media company that aims to inspire every individual to thrive in their professional lives.

We propose a wide variety of high-quality content (articles, videos, series, podcasts, magazines or events) to help young professionals rethink their relationship with work.

We have also created a content-rich website with 5000+ detailed company profiles – including photos, videos, and statistics (number of employees, gender, average age) – making valuable job search information accessible for prospective candidates.

It is now way easier for them to narrow down the tribe they belong to!

What it’s like to work in the Jungle?

• You will be part of a meaningful and challenging mission: you will contribute directly to prepare the future of work and promote a positive social impact (and it starts with internal experiments!)
• You will work in an international environment: 16 different nationalities are represented in our teams, we have offices in Prague and we are preparing our international expansion
• Your work life balance will be guaranteed through strong initiatives including the 4-day work week
• You will be able to choose your workplace thanks to our highly flexible remote policy:
• You come to our great offices in the heart of Paris (Sentier district) because you want to, not because you have to: we do not have a minimum day of presence in the office. Most of our positions are also open to full remote: 30% of our teams already practice it!
• Your well-being is our priority: you will have access to moka.care, a solution to help you take care of your mental health.
• You will get an attractive salary package: employee shareholding for everyone, lots of benefits (meal tickets (Swile), great health insurance (Alan) with 66% covered by the company, CSE gift vouchers, etc.)
• We want everyone involved in the growth of our project: this is why everyone has employee shareholding at Welcome to the Jungle
• At Welcome, we truly care about your professional development. We will train you on the subjects that will make you grow through our training programs : formal training plan based on your needs, or through internal Jungle Academy, or mentoring or even via our self-training space where your will find various curated contents (Management, English courses, writing workshops, Excel training…)
• We will help you in your career development providing clear career paths and creating opportunities around mobilities and promotions.
• We support our employees in their role as parents and future parents through various initiatives: birth allocation, extra days for co-parents, re-onboarding program after maternity leave, breastfeeding room
• You will join a mission that pays particularly close attention to fostering diversity, inclusion and equality within teams as well as within its community
• You will be able to enjoy our many team rituals: annual team days, bi-annual roadmap & project presentations in a Parisian theater, monthly All Hands, quarterly parties… and more! (Know more about our corporate culture here)
• For all these reasons and more, we have been rewarded by the B-corp label, a very selective label where we meet the highest standards of social and environmental impact.
