Job description

We’re looking for a hands-on full-stack Senior Software Engineer with a strong bias toward action and a drive to create intuitive, user-friendly experiences.

In the Akeneo organisation, each Product Line operates independently under a Single Threaded Owner (STO) at VP level. Within each Product Line, multiple Area Single Threaded Owners (Area-STOs) at Director level oversee several Impact Teams. Each Impact Team, led by an Impact Owner, comprises approximately eight engineers, designers and PMs who work autonomously, following their own processes and methodologies.

Akeneo’s products are recognised worldwide for their ease of use by customers, partners, and market analysts. As we scale and enter a new strategic phase in an increasingly competitive market, delivering a seamless, intuitive user experience is more critical than ever. That’s why we’re forming a brand-new team dedicated to simplify the end-to-end experience across our products, and at every stage of the user lifecycle—from discovery to onboarding, adoption to expansion. We want Akeneo to be the most intuitive and indispensable platform for bringing products to life. And we need your help to make it happen.

Reporting directly to your team's Impact Owner, you will collaborate closely with teams of engineers, product managers, designers and external stakeholders.

Responsibilities: 

• Technical Excellence: Design and implement robust, scalable software and infrastructure as code (IaC) solution for complex problems (e.g. designing and implementing a new service outside of the existing monolith to handle product data enrichment, improving system scalability and performance, implementing IaC changes via Terraform). Bring a high level of front-end expertise to architect and deliver intuitive, performant, and maintainable user interfaces. Champion design system integration, state management best practices, and front-end performance optimisation.
• Impact & Customer Centricity: Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define, design, and ship solutions to our customer problems (e.g., creating a prototype of a possible solution to a customer issues after participating in a customer call). Ensure a strong alignment between design and engineering for a cohesive user experience.
• Code Quality: Write clean, maintainable, and efficient code (e.g., refactoring a legacy module to improve code readability and reduce technical debt)
• Team Work: Participate in code reviews and provide constructive feedback to other developers (e.g., reviewing pull requests and suggesting improvements in algorithm efficiency or code structure)
• Mentorship: Contribute to raising the bar in our front-end capabilities. Mentor software engineers and contribute to the growth of the engineering team (e.g., pairing with software engineers on complex tasks and organising knowledge-sharing sessions on best practices)
• Debugging & Optimisation: Troubleshoot, debug, and optimise application performance (e.g., identifying and resolving bottlenecks in database queries to improve overall system response time)
• Innovation: Stay up-to-date with emerging trends and technologies in software development (e.g., researching and proposing the adoption of new technologies like GraphQL for API development)

Qualifications

• Experience: You have 6+ years of experience in hands-on software development, with a strong background in building SaaS solutions. Preferably PHP, Go, Typescript and React. Experience with infrastructure and reliability, GCP, Kubernetes, Terraform, Datadog.
• Track Record: You have a history of delivering impact end-to-end as well as taking ownership of projects.
• Technical Expertise: You possess in-depth knowledge of software development principles, understanding of infrastructure principles and have successfully built solutions that scale as well as working within complex monoliths. You have a solid grasp of modern front-end technologies and frameworks and how they integrate with scalable back-end systems.
• Communication Skills: You can effectively communicate complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders and work very well within a diverse team.
• Adaptability: You thrive in a fast-paced, impact-focused environment and can handle uncertainties and changing requirements.
• Mentoring Skills: You have demonstrated that you can mentor and grow others in previous roles, guiding less experienced engineers through challenges so they can deliver impact.
