About This Role

We are representing a confidential SaaS organization with a strong presence in the developer tools space. They are seeking a Lead Software Engineer to join their EMEA engineering team in France (remote, CET/CEST hours).

In this role, you'll take ownership of complex technical problems from end to end—designing, building, and shipping full-stack features while raising the engineering bar for the team. You'll combine hands-on coding with technical leadership, driving architecture decisions and collaborating closely with Product and Design.

This is a distributed, remote-first position working asynchronously across EMEA and US time zones.

Responsibilities

  • Design and develop new full-stack features using React/TypeScript on the frontend and Java, Node.js, or Ruby on the backend
  • Leverage AI coding assistants and agents (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, Codex) to accelerate delivery, automate repetitive tasks, and focus on design and review
  • Contribute to architectural and technical design decisions within the team
  • Write automated tests and ensure code quality through thorough code reviews
  • Deploy and monitor your own features in production using GitLab, AWS, and Kubernetes
  • Drive continuous improvement of the team's engineering practices
  • Partner with Product and cross-functional teams to scope, prioritize, and deliver impactful work

What We're Looking For

  • 6+ years of professional software engineering experience, including senior or lead-level ownership
  • Proficiency in at least one backend language (Java, Ruby, Node.js), a modern frontend framework (ideally React), and SQL
  • Solid experience designing scalable, reliable systems and conducting thorough code reviews
  • Comfortable working autonomously in a distributed, remote-first environment
  • Hands-on experience leveraging AI tools to ship faster—code generation, agentic workflows, scripting/automation, or building internal tooling on top of LLMs
  • Professional working proficiency in English
