⭐ Mission: Join Qonto as Head of Frontend Engineering to lead 3 of our cross-functional teams in creating cutting-edge, scalable web solutions that will revolutionize the FinTech industry. Working closely with our Engineering leadership, you'll drive the technical strategy that will shape the future of our web platform, impacting millions of users across Europe.

• Manage 3 teams of 15+ engineers.

• Coach your team leaders and engineers to maintain quality and velocity while the team grows and complexity increases.

• Provide technical leadership and mentorship to managers, empowering them to make decisions and grow in their roles.

• Drive delivery of product features and improvements with a high level of quality and on time.

• Drive the ongoing React migration project, balancing technical debt reduction with new feature development.

• Spread a culture of continuous improvement: learn how to write better code to ship features faster.

• Foster collaboration with partner teams such as Product, Data, Backend, Mobile & and with third parties.

We value the analysis phase of software delivery. We're putting a heavy emphasis on upfront technical designs, code reviews, and smart slicing. You can expect to focus on quality, which we believe drives the velocity our customers need.

We think success comes from a space where you're given time, support, and autonomy to improve yourself, our systems and our processes.

Our engineers, working in cross-functional teams, focus on one feature at a time. Together with your team, you will have autonomy to improve the team’s operating system. You can learn more about the team’s culture of continuous improvement in this article by Florian, Director of Web.

We accelerate growth using structured tools inspired by Lean management. You will be immersed in this culture and practice of continuous learning, which we call the Qonto Way.

You will be part of a team with high standards of performance, as illustrated in this other article. We strive for excellence in management: we developed a comprehensive management training program from scratch in only five weeks. This program is now used by several Tech teams to fast-track engineers to a Lead’s position.

At Qonto, we value diversity and we are proud to have 30% of women within our Web team. We also have 33% women in the Web managers group.

Our web apps were developed using the Ember.js framework, and we have released several open-source JavaScript libraries. The Web team is planning the migration to a brand-new stack based on React. Now is an exciting time to join!
