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

  • If you're a Node.js & TypeScript enthusiast with a knack for serverless architecture and a passion for solving complex, scalable systems, we want you on our team!
  • Strong experience with Node.js, TypeScript, and React
  • A passion for building new projects from the ground up, with an eye on scalability and performance
  • An interest in strictly typed codebases, hexagonal architecture, and Domain-Driven Design (we’re serious about this!)
  • You enjoy working in autonomous teams and embrace peer programming or mobbing sessions
  • Backend engineering experience, with a keen understanding of how your work impacts the product as a whole
  • A love for testing, code reviews, continuous integration, and thorough documentation

Desirable

  • Have experience with serverless architectures
  • Know how to handle large volumes of data
  • Bring a strong testing culture and familiarity with CI/CD tools
  • Have worked with syndication, retailers, or marketplaces

What the job involves

  • As a Software Engineer in our Activation team, you’ll tackle high-impact challenges and build sophisticated systems that power real-time data, robust workflows, and seamless integrations
  • Design and scale high-reliability workflows to ensure our systems are always performant
  • Optimize data transformation pipelines, handling large datasets with ease
  • Integrate Akeneo with a diverse array of external APIs, helping us expand our ecosystem
  • Create intuitive, real-time tracking interfaces that deliver value to users
  • This is your opportunity to create solutions from scratch, experiment with the latest technologies, and shape the future of our product architecture

Application process

  • Interview with Talent Acquisition: a 30-minute conversation with one of our Talent Acquisition Specialists, where you’ll learn more about the role, Akeneo, and briefly go through your experience and expectations
  • Interview with Engineering Manager: meet your future manager and get more information about the role and the engineering culture at Akeneo. The manager will also evaluate your hard/soft skills by allowing you to highlight the projects you worked on
  • Technical interview: This is not a typical technical interview. You will not have to use a whiteboard or be given a test at home. We want to reach the limits of your hard skills with a series of open questions. During the interviews, we will evaluate some criteria: technical skills, development practices, code & architecture design, capacity to pinpoint an issue at hand, sense of logic, and learning abilities
  • Team interview: meet your future colleagues! A less formal interview where the idea is for you to get to know the people you’ll be working with (aka your future squad) and see if you all want to work together!
  • 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.
