Qonto - Tech Lead

• Python depth with a leadership track record: Strong production experience in Python, with experience setting technical direction in a team — Go and/or Ruby are a plus for Qonto service integrations. • IC-first mindset: You've grown into a lead or management role but genuinely want to keep shipping. 70% coding time isn't a constraint — it's what draws you to this role. • AI-native workflow: Daily use of AI coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot) is a baseline expectation. You use them yourself and set the example for your squad. • AI curiosity over AI expertise: Production AI experience not required — what matters is genuine curiosity, active experimentation, and the drive to build things even outside of work. • Coaching ability: You know how to develop junior engineers — give feedback that lands, spot growth opportunities, and run progress reviews that actually move the needle. • Strong communicator: You articulate technical decisions clearly to non-technical stakeholders and navigate cross-functional squads with ease. • 🔧 What you'll get • Unlimited access to the best AI tools on the market: Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Dust, Notion AI. • A Python-first stack with hands-on AI agent work from day one — PydanticAI, LangGraph, LangChain in the mix (framework awareness appreciated; production expertise not required). • A squad culture where autonomy is the default — minimal process, quick dailies, weekly demos with leadership, and every hour counting. • A final interview with our VP Engineering, Carl • We aim to wrap the process in 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.
