The role
We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Document Experience team on a full-time basis. This role is fully remote and open to candidates based in France.

- Provide operational support for production applications and maintain high code quality through rigorous testing and active participation in code reviews.
Skills and experience
To succeed in this role, you should have a strong technical background with at least four years of experience delivering robust solutions. We value a pragmatic approach where you prioritize simple, tested, and high-value code over over-engineering. Your qualifications should include:
- Proven professional experience working with Ruby on Rails and React.
- Familiarity with Sidekiq and PostgreSQL.
- Excellent communication skills in both English and French.
- A collaborative mindset with a genuine interest in coaching others and sharing knowledge.

- The flexibility of remote work.
- A culture that prioritizes diversity, inclusion, and equity.
- The opportunity to contribute to a mission-driven company that values your professional growth and well-being.
How to apply
If you are ready to help us improve healthcare through technology, we would love to hear from you. Our recruitment process begins with an HR interview, followed by a discussion with our Engineering Manager. You will then complete a brief 20-minute technical exercise, participate in a system design session, and conclude with a final interview with our leadership team. We look forward to reviewing your application.
