At Malt we believe that Ambition is the Way, so all lists of missions and responsibilities are non-exhaustive.

Key responsibilities

  • Set the Long-Term Platform Tech Strategy: Define the 2–3 year technical vision and roadmap for Malt's engineering platform — backend, frontend — alongside platform leads, ensuring architectural consistency, security, and high reliability across all engineering squads. Agentic capabilities are a central pillar of that vision, not a side project.
  • Architect Platform Foundations: Partner closely with Backend, Frontend, and SRE leads to design and build our company-wide platform foundations — from core shared infrastructure through to our agentic layer, consolidating existing POCs into unified, enterprise-grade capabilities.
  • Pioneer Agentic DevEx Workflows: Prototype, scale, and embed autonomous AI agents into the software development lifecycle (e.g., agentic MR reviews, automated code quality, and security fixes) so product teams can focus strictly on core product logic.
  • Deliver Platform-as-a-Product: Provide product engineers with self-service tools, reusable components, clear guardrails, and documentation making both our platform foundations and our autonomous workflows the natural, default way to ship software at Malt.
  • Build, Hands-On: Contribute directly to the platform. You'll write production code on the systems you design: the hardest parts, the reference implementations, the things nobody else can unblock.
  • Raise the Bar: Drive the adoption of best practices, coding standards, and high-quality engineering processes, including thorough code and architecture reviews. Foster operational excellence across the platform.
  • Mentor and Coach: Provide technical guidance and mentorship to engineers across the platform team, particularly Senior and mid-level engineers, helping them develop their skills, master agentic patterns, and advance their careers.
  • Drive Technical Alignment & Change Management: Act as a technical catalyst, influencing and aligning backend, frontend, and engineering leads around transformative AI agent paradigms without relying on top-down authority.

About you

  • Technical Expertise: You have 15+ years of professional experience in software engineering, including a proven track record operating at a Staff or Principal level in high-scale platform environments. You're highly proficient in Kotlin or Java, comfortable across GCP and modern web frameworks (e.g. Nuxt/VueJS), and at ease navigating complex backend architecture, APIs, and data models.
  • AI-Driven Innovator: Passionate about AI topics, you regularly keep up to date with the latest developments. You have already built product-grade agentic workflows within the software development lifecycle: systems engineers rely on daily to review, test, or ship code, not demos or POCs.
  • Clear leadership: You excel at working effectively in uncertain and evolving environments, managing the interaction between technical objectives and business priorities.
  • Platform as a Product Mindset: You think beyond the code. Your product is the developer experience: you're curious about the "why" behind the workflows, core components you build, proactive in proposing improvements, and you own delivery from A to Z: including the adoption, not just the architecture.
  • Resourceful: You always find a way of getting things done, even under severe staffing constraints.
  • Impactful: You demonstrate excellent ownership and problem-solving skills, with a high degree of agency in driving solutions.
  • Strong interpersonal abilities: You possess excellent written and oral communication skills in English (French is a valuable bonus).

How to join the mission?

  • Initial Screening Call (45m): First exchange with Luke Singh or Alexandre Hidasi (Tech & Product Recruiters) to explore your background, career aspirations, and answer any initial questions.
  • Manager Interview (60m): Deep dive into your technical background, domain experience, and alignment with Anaïs Ghelfi (Hiring Manager & Engineering Director).
  • Technical Business Case & Debrief (2h): Practical architecture exercise and debrief with Staff Engineers to evaluate your systems design and agentic architecture mastery.
  • Executive & Culture Fit Interview (2h): Final conversation with Claire (CTO) to discuss Malt’s long-term vision, followed by an informal coffee chat with Raphaël Ouazana & Pierre Reynaud.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
