About the job
Qonto is building a new internal People platform to support over 1,700 team members. This freelance Full-Stack Engineer role centers on designing and delivering a ground-up application for HR operations, including compensation cycles and performance reviews. The position is based in Paris and involves close collaboration with Mélodie, Head of People Systems, and the broader People team.
What you will do
- Deliver the MVP by November 2026: Lead the migration of key Workday modules into a custom application. The stack uses React for the front end and Python or Go for the back end. The platform will manage sensitive HR workflows for more than 1,700 users, so timely and high-quality delivery is critical.
- Shape the product vision and roadmap: Partner with People teams to conduct user discovery, challenge specifications, and help prioritize features. Decision-making covers both what to build and how it is built.
- Prioritize security and compliance: Design systems to handle sensitive personal data, ensuring GDPR compliance and enforcing strong access controls and data residency standards from the start.
- Accelerate with AI tools: Use tools such as Cursor, Claude Code, and Copilot to speed up development. Where relevant, incorporate AI-powered features into the platform.
Requirements
- Experience building full-stack applications with React and either Python or Go.
- Ability to work independently and drive a project from concept to production.
- Comfort working closely with non-technical stakeholders to shape product direction.
- Strong focus on data security and compliance.
This project is not just about supporting existing systems. It offers the chance to build a new platform from scratch, with real input into both technical and product decisions.
