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

Company values
- Diligent Benevolence: We thrive as a unified force, caring deeply for one another, celebrating victories, and growing together. Openness and kindness are our cornerstones, but we steer clear of complacency. We strive for excellence, knowing it demands constant, honest feedback within a supportive environment
- Humble Hunger: We have big ambitions and aim to be the best at what we do. But we recognize that this is a long and imperfect road. There is no recipe for success. Arrogance and self-conceit will not drive us anywhere. It’s a journey of learning, minus the ego trip
- Responsible Pioneers: Our decisions boldly navigate new frontiers, always aligned with our customer-first compass. We navigate with responsibility, recognizing our resource limits. We're a crew of accountable owners
- Inclusive Community: More than an inner spark, our Purple Fire forges a community where everyone's seen, heard, and valued. It's our diversity – of thought, background, and culture – that fuels this fire, creating an impactful, united, and passionate collective that aims to create and inspire
