Company mission
To fundamentally disrupt the product information category and better serve the rapidly growing needs of modern omnichannel brands and retailers.
Role
Who you are
- We are looking for a pragmatic and product-driven engineer with 8+ years of experience in the development of web applications. Our own stack consists of Python + Django + Celery on the back end and javascript + Vue.js on the front end
- You have a track record of delivering products to production that fills you with pride. While working on these products, you took personal responsibility and drove end-to-end delivery of features/components
- You have an understanding of the main principles of software architecture and have previously been involved in designing and implementing complex engineering solutions
- You have experience in working on a pre-maket-fit product with fast iterations
- You know how to deal with uncertainties and are able to work together with a product manager to clarify needs and ensure the delivery of the right solution
What the job involves
- The tech team’s mission is to improve our customers’ experience by developing our product onboarding platform, on which users can easily perform tasks such as categorizing their products, filling product attributes and conforming attribute values to an existing taxonomy
- Our users are helped by machine learning models along the way, and our job is also to ensure a seamless integration of these models into our platform
- Build & ship high-quality code that delivers value to our users
- Provide mentorship to engineers, enhancing their skills and career growth through hands-on guidance and collaborative team learning
- Assist us in building and maintaining a strong team culture. We are not just a group of individuals but a cohesive team where we support and help each other to stay motivated and happy
- You will not only “code” products, but also play a significant role in clarifying requirements and finding the best solution that aligns with them
- You will also have the opportunity to collaborate with our AI team, as their models are at the heart of our product’s value
Application process
- Say hi! If your application has caught our attention, you will receive an invitation to a 30-minute conversation with Marie-Anaïs, where you’ll learn more about the role and about Akeneo
- Meet your future manager Pierrick! This 45-60 minute interview will allow you to go in more depth into what the role entails and discuss your experience and skills
- Meet Christophe for a technical interview
- Perform a technical test at home
- Meet the team! Project yourself into the reality of the position and confirm our company culture fits you with one or two additional interviews with your future colleagues or stakeholders
- Sign your offer!
- At all stages of your recruitment process, our Talent Acquisition team is committed to giving you an update in a one-week time frame
Our take
Based in France and Boston, Akeneo is a provider of product experience management (PXM) and product information management (PIM) solutions. The platform enables businesses with products to create growth opportunities by delivering product experience.
The company is trusted by leading global brands, including PUMA, Canon USA and Giant Tiger. The appeal of Akeneo’s services is its enablement of retailers to activate product experiences across all communication channels, rather than having to manage catalogs using spreadsheets or an out-dated ERP.
In 2022, Akeneo raised further funding, which was invested into accelerating the product development roadmap and expansion of its strategic partnerships. Continued investment and support brings Akeneo ever closer to its goal of best serving the growing needs of modern omnichannel brands and retailers.
