    • Experience building APIs (REST and/or GraphQL) and integrating with external services.

    • Expertise in relational and non-relational databases

    • Experience working with message queueing technologies (SQS/RabbitMQ/Kafka/etc.)

    • Solid understanding of coding standards, architectural patterns and test frameworks

    • Expertise in instrumentation, observability and monitoring

  • Soft skills:

    • Mentorship & Influence - You inspire and elevate engineers across teams - you are a true force multiplier.

    • Cross-Functional Communication - You communicate effectively with engineers and business leaders, switching between technical and business contexts.

    • Technical Leadership – You are able to guide teams through complex technical decisions, balancing short-term delivery with long-term architectural health.

Location:

  • Paris or London.

  • This role is hybrid, and you are expected to be in the office 3 days a week on average.

  • Please expect some travel between offices on a reasonable cadence (e.g., every 4-6 weeks).

What We Offer:

  • Join the exciting journey of shaping the future of AI, and be part of the early days of one of the hottest AI startups.

  • Collaborate with a fun, dynamic, and multicultural team, working alongside world-class AI talent in a highly collaborative environment.

What you need to know about the Belfast Tech Scene

If asked to name the birthplace of the RMS Titanic, you might not say Belfast. Similarly, if asked to name Europe's leading destination for foreign direct investment in new software development, Belfast might not come to mind. Yet, both are true. The city has emerged as a tech powerhouse, recently ranked among the best in the U.K. for tech careers — especially for software developers. It also leads the U.K. with the highest percentage of software development jobs advertised.
