Backend Developer

A bit about us

Our product started as a side project in 2000 and now has a few hundred paying customers, mostly in Île-de-France. Small accounting firms in Île-de-France use our engagement letter and e-signature tool, and most heard about us from a colleague.

The previous person in this role moved to another team. Backend role focused on API design, data modelling and making slow things fast. Remote position.
