[Discover the steps we took to create a discrimination-free hiring process](https://medium.com/qonto-way/a-recruiters-dilemma-confronting-bias-in-hiring-b78acce148eb). **⭐ Mission** Join us as a **Freelance Full-Stack Engineer** to build one of Qonto's first internal applications: a modern, high-quality People platform that transforms the daily experience of 1,700+ Qontoers - from compensation cycles and performance reviews to everyday HR workflows. You'll work hand-in-hand with [Mélodie](https://www.linkedin.com/in/melodie-moulin/), our Head of People Systems, on a high-ownership mission: co-define the product vision, design the architecture, and ship to production. This is not a staff-augmentation engagement - it's a mandate for someone who builds like an owner. **👩‍💻🧑‍💻 As a Freelance Full-Stack Engineer, you will** • **Ship the People platform MVP by December 2026**: migrate key Workday modules into a custom internal app (React for the front, Go for the back) that handles comp cycles, performance reviews, and daily HR workflows for 1,700+ Qontoers - on time and with zero compromise on quality. • **Co-define the product vision and roadmap with Mélodie**: run user discovery with People teams, challenge specs, and help decide what gets built first - not just how to build it. • **Design for security and compliance from day one**: architect systems that handle sensitive People data (GDPR, access controls, data residency) with the rigor the context demands. • **Ship faster with A**I: leverage AI tools (Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot…) in your daily workflow and build AI-enabled features where they create real leverage for the People team. • **Enable long-term adoption**: document your work, run training sessions, and set up governance so the People team can own and evolve the tools long after the mission ends. **🏅 What we're looking for** **• Strong full-stack engineering (backend primary):** You've shipped production apps end-to-end, handling sensitive data. React and Go are familiar - but we're evaluating craft and delivery capacity, not your exact stack. **• AI-native workflow:** You use AI tools daily to ship faster - code generation, testing, architecture support. Not experimenting - actually delivering. **• Architecture & security instincts:** You design for GDPR, access control, and data residency from the start. Security is not an afterthought. **• Product engineer mindset:** You've shaped *what* to build, not just *how*. You run user discovery, challenge specs, and iterate on real feedback. **• High autonomy + owner mindset:** You've delivered complex, ambiguous projects with minimal guidance. You set your own priorities, communicate proactively, and unblock yourself. **• Bonus:** Experience with HRIS/People tools (Workday, ATS, Payroll systems) or internal tooling for large organizations. 🔧** What you'll get** • A **greenfield mandate** with direct access to decision-makers - no layers of approval, no waiting on committees • A stack built on React and Go, and the Workday REST middleware - **adaptability** valued over stack matching • Unlimited access to **AI tools**: Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot, Notion AI • A culture where **autonomy** is the default: you own the architecture, set the direction, and ship • A mission with **direct impact** on every Qontoer's daily life from day one **🤝 Your manager & main point of contact** You'll work day-to-day with [Sébastien](https://linkedin.com/in/sebastientalasi/), Lead Corporate Automation, your functional lead for this mission, as well as [Justine](https://www.linkedin.com/in/justineraze/), our first engineer on the mission - and collaborate closely with [Mélodie](http://linkedin.com/in/m%C3%A9lodie-moulin-262a3840), Head of People Systems, on the People side of the scope. Sébastien brings 15+ years of experience as a Staff Engineer / Tech Lead on SAP and corporate systems, with stints at Sopra Steria, nearly a decade at CANAL+ Group (where he led the S/4HANA conversion and cloud migration), and VINCI Energies. He joined Qonto in September 2025 to lead Corporate Automation. Expect a hands-on, lean-minded leader who values technical excellence, clear ownership, and pairing - someone who'll spar with you on solutions and roll up his sleeves to ship the right outcome. **💬 Hiring Process** • **A first interview (1 hour)**: with Samy (your Recruiter) • **A skills test** (done asynchronously and then debriefed with Sébastien) to demonstrate how you think and give you a taste of what working at Qonto could be like We aim to have the hiring process last 10 days max, from first interview to potential offer🤞 *If you've read this far and thought "that sounds like me but I don't check every box" — apply anyway. We hire on potential and mindset, not checklists.* ---------------------------------- **🔒 Your security matters to us** Recruitment scams are on the rise.
