You'll be joining Core Services Squad 🏡

Get onboard of the PayFit rocket by joining our Core Services Team as a Senior fullstack software engineer.

Our team is part of the Foundations tribe, whose mission is to "make PayFit easy to build, easy to use".

The tribe operates in 3 main streams :

• Product enablement (notifications, validations, authentication, permissions...)

• User Autonomy (navigation, search, settings, modules...)

• Core HR (HR coach, employee 360, employee directory, exports and reporting...)

Our squad is composed of 2 passionate and dynamic Engineers and the squad tri-force : the Engineering Manager, the Product Manager and the Product Designer.

We are part of the Product enablement stream, our main goal is to accelerate the impact and delivery of product teams by providing compelling functional product components & APIs.

To give you more context:

• Our main focus consists in creating and enhancing the brand new entity in our data model that we own: the collaborator. It enables PayFit to move from a contract to a people centric platform and unlocks many technical and business possibilities.

• We also own a notification system that enables product teams to build experiences relying on user notifications (in-app, email, slack ...) along with an internal templating system enabling product teams to build custom email layouts but also generate PDFs (payslips for ex).
