Meet Nicolas, Senior Dev
Fairly Made
Tech team
Our main objective is to provide our users with a platform that is both efficient and user-friendly. This platform allows brands to establish the traceability of their products and to measure their impact through a multi-criteria evaluation. The calculator backed by this platform has been 100% developed in-house to control the entire value chain from A to Z.
Quality and speed are the key words of the technical teams in order to meet Fairly Made's rapidly growing business challenges. In order to meet these objectives, this year's challenge is to move to a micro-services architecture and improve our Q&A. Our team is composed of people from different backgrounds and levels of seniority. We want our Tech & Product team to be inclusive (30% women by the beginning of 2023; 25% professional retraining) and for everyone to be able to develop in their daily work.

Organization and methodologies
Our Tech & Product team is made up of a Product Team (Product and UX/UI), a Platform Team (Core, DevOps and Cyber), and a Data Team to provide everything needed by the Feature Teams.
As far as rituals are concerned, we start the week with a meeting to share news across the company and also within the Tech team. Every morning, we have a Daily and a Weekly is scheduled every week with your manager. Peer Programming and Code Reviews are organised as needed. Everyone is free to organise sessions on demand. It is important that each team member is proactive and does not hesitate to propose organisational improvements.
