⭐ Mission
Join us as a Product Engineer and help us build the financial tools that empower 600,000+ SMEs to gain full control over their finances. You will work on high-impact financial features that make SMEs and accountants lives easier, all under the guidance of Yanis, our Head of Engineering, and with the sponsorship of Steve, our co-founder.
👩💻🧑💻 As a Product Engineer at Qonto, you will
• Ship features end-to-end, faster than ever: You'll own features with Product Managers and Designers - using AI tools (Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot...) and automation to accelerate every step of the process.
• Challenge the product, not just build it: Engineers at Qonto actively shape the roadmap. You'll understand the "why" behind the "what" and prototype solutions fast.
• Work with maximum squad autonomy: Your squad owns its roadmap, picks its approaches, and ships independently. No layers of approval, no waiting on committees.
🏅 What we're looking for
• Product mindset: You understand the business value of your code and challenge specs to build the best product - not just the one that was asked for.
• AI-native workflow: You use AI to supercharge how you build, from code generation to testing to deployment.
• Solid engineering fundamentals: You have experience with Go, React, or any modern full-stack environment, and you're willing to learn what you haven't mastered yet.
• Strong communication in English: You collaborate effectively with non-technical stakeholders and can articulate technical decisions clearly.
🔧 What you'll get
• Unlimited access to the best AI tools on the market - Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Dust, Notion AI.
• A stack built on Go, React, Kubernetes, and Kafka.
• A squad culture where autonomy is the default: you own your decisions and ship without red tape.
🤝 About your future manager
You'll report to Yanis, Head of Engineering - but don't expect micro-management.
Yanis grew from Lead Engineer to Head of Engineering over 4 years at Qonto. He's a pragmatic generalist who's built payment integrations from scratch and is equally comfortable on the frontend and backend.
His approach: give engineers real ownership, create a culture where sharing failures is as valued as sharing wins, and get out of the way so the squad can ship.
💬 Hiring Process
• 2 Interviews (1 hour each): first with your Talent Acquisition Manager, and then with Yanis or one of his team leads
• A live exercise (2 hours) 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.
