🤔 What you can expect

• We built our own design system and UI kit from scratch.

• We have a strong focus on quality. All technical designs are reviewed and challenged by peers before their implementation. We have a zero-QA-return objective and we achieved a 39% decrease in QA returns on new features in H1 ‘23 vs. H2 ‘22.

• We accelerate growth using structured tools inspired by Lean management. You will be immersed in this culture and practice of continuous learning, which we call the Qonto Way.

• You will take an active part in designing the new features to be shipped to our customers, both from a technical and a product standpoint. You can learn how in this article by Claire, frontend engineer on the team.

• You will have autonomy to improve the team’s operating system. All engineers can dedicate up to 20% of their time to continuous improvement and personal training

Hear it from Anastasia, who joined the team as an engineer and who was promoted to Lead in July 2023:

"I had a friend who was a happy user of Qonto. While looking for my next mission, I discovered that engineers at Qonto are actively engaged in the product creation process, and that’s exactly was I was looking for. Seeing in the job description how Qonto cares about continuous learning, diversity and maintaining agility solidified my decision. I’ve applied immediately and never looked back!”

“Every team member has a voice and the freedom to challenge decisions. I love our commitment to striving for excellence. To achieve more, we get dedicated time for various improvements and trainings.”

🤝 Your future team

You will be part of a team focused on performance, as illustrated in this article by Florian, our Director of Web.

Our web apps all use a state-of-the-art version of the Ember.js framework. You can read why in this article by Frédéric, a Lead on the Web team.

We have released several open-source JavaScript libraries and our team members regularly speak at conferences such as EmberConf and EmberFest.

At Qonto, we value diversity and we are proud to have 30% of women within our Web team. We expect to have 33% women within the management team by July ‘23.
