Job Description
Roles & Responsibilities
While you possess deep, highly advanced technical capabilities and can dive into the codebase when critical, this role is not about typing code all day. You will operate with a scope closer to a VP of Engineering. Your primary objective is to guarantee the quality, reliability, and predictability of the software evolution (Outcomes over Outputs).
You will architect the systems, define the tasks, orchestrate the execution by AI and external developers, and act as the ultimate gatekeeper for quality.
The Tech Stack
- Languages & Frameworks: Rust (Core/Backend), React (Frontend)
- Data & Processing: PostgreSQL, Stream Processing, Advanced Analytics
- Infrastructure: Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
Desired Candidate Profile
We are looking for a highly autonomous, systems-oriented engineering leader who thrives in a fast-paced, high-quality, lean environment. This role is not suited for individuals who primarily enjoy hands-on coding within a large internal team structure.
- Senior Engineering Leadership: 7+ years of progressive experience in software development, with at least 3 years in a lead or principal role managing system architecture and delivery of complex, highly available, and scalable systems.
- Architecture & Systems Design: Proven experience in designing, deploying, and maintaining cloud-native applications on a major cloud provider (GCP experience preferred).
- Rust Proficiency: Hands-on experience with Rust in a production environment or open-source project is a strong advantage. Alternatively, exceptional depth in a similar compiled systems language (e.g., Go, C++) combined with a strong willingness to master Rust immediately.
- External Orchestration: Demonstrated ability to manage and lead technical delivery
across external teams (agencies, freelancers, contractors) while maintaining
accountability and quality control. - Governance & Documentation: A strong belief in and history of enforcing rigorous engineering practices, including comprehensive documentation (ADRs, RFCs) and disciplined code review processes.
- Technical Orchestration: The ability to decompose ambiguous business goals into
ultra-clear, executable technical specifications for non-internal teams and AI agents. - AI Development Lifecycle: Deep comfort and proficiency in integrating advanced LLMs
and agentic tools into the development workflow (e.g., prompt engineering for code
generation, validating AI-produced code). - Uncompromising Quality: A maniacal focus on the non-functional requirements:security, performance, reliability, and maintainability. Must be the ultimate gatekeeper for
quality.
- Remote & Asynchronous Communication: Exceptional written communication skills are mandatory.
- Must be able to operate effectively in a globally distributed,
asynchronous environment (Paris timezone +/- 3h).
