Join a fast-growing French AI scale-up, backed by top-tier investors, as an AI Engineer and play a pivotal role in building the technical foundation of the company’s product and infrastructure.

This is more than just a technical role it’s a unique opportunity to build the architecture, shape the product, and define the culture of a company poised to become a major player in European AI.

About the Company

The company has reached a key inflection point: strong product-market fit, growing customer base, and a clear roadmap toward international scaling.

Team today: 15 people

Target by year-end: 25+

Structured into 3 squads:

Software Engineering
Artificial Intelligence (R&D and applied)
Product & Design

You’ll be at the heart of product development, working hand-in-hand with both technical and business leaders.

Tech Stack

You’ll join a high-performance engineering environment working with modern, scalable technologies:

Frontend: React, TypeScript
Backend: Node.js, NestJS
Additional language: Python, Pytorch (for AI integration & tooling)
Database: PostgreSQL
APIs: GraphQL via Hasura

We’re building a modular, API-first platform designed to scale your architectural decisions will directly influence its evolution.

What We're Looking For

We’re seeking an experienced engineer who thrives in early-stage environments and wants to own the build not just code.

Must-have qualifications:

5–10 years of experience in demanding tech environments (scale-ups, SaaS startups, product-driven companies)
Strong architectural skills and clean software engineering practices
End-to-end product mindset: you understand the why behind what you build
Solid experience with backend and fullstack architecture (Node, Python, TypeScript)
Engineering degree (or equivalent strong technical background)
Fluent in French and comfortable with English in a professional context

Nice-to-have:

Past experience in AI/ML environments or working closely with Data/AI teams

Work Environment

Based in Paris in our Tech & R&D Hub
Hybrid model: 2 remote days/week
Dynamic, transparent, product-focused culture
Flat hierarchy, fast decision cycles, high ownership

Recruitment Process

We believe great people don't need 8 rounds of interviews.

Our process is fast and simple:

1- 30-min conversation with one of the Co-Founders

2- 60-min deep dive with the Tech team (code + system thinking)

That’s it. No take-home test. No bureaucracy. Just people talking tech and vision.

Why Join?
