Mission

Join us as a Product Engineer and help us build the financial tools that empower 600,000+ SMEs and their accountants to gain full control over their finances. You will work on high-impact financial features that make SMEs and accountants lives easier, all under the guidance of Yanis, our Head of Engineering, and with the sponsorship of Steve, our co-founder.

What You'll Do

• Ship features end-to-end, faster than ever: You'll own features with Product Managers and Designers - using AI tools (Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot...) and automation to accelerate every step of the process.
• Challenge the product, not just build it: Engineers at Qonto actively shape the roadmap. You'll understand the "why" behind the "what" and prototype solutions fast.
• Work with maximum squad autonomy: Your squad owns its roadmap, picks its approaches, and ships independently. No layers of approval, no waiting on committees.

What We're Looking For

• Accounting domain knowledge: You've worked on accounting, bookkeeping, invoicing, or tax-related products before - or you have a strong understanding of how accountants work and what they need from software.
• Product mindset: You understand the business value of your code, you're comfortable navigating complex domain logic (like accounting rules), and you challenge specs to build the best product - not just the one that was asked for.
• AI-native workflow: You use AI to supercharge how you build, from code generation to testing to deployment. (Click HERE to access our vision statement on AI at Qonto).
• Solid engineering fundamentals: You have experience with Go, React, or any modern full-stack environment, and you're willing to learn what you haven't mastered yet.
• Strong communication in English: You collaborate effectively with non-technical stakeholders and can articulate technical decisions clearly.

What You'll Get

• Unlimited access to the best AI tools on the market - Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Dust, Notion AI.
• A stack built on Go, React, Kubernetes, and Kafka.
• A squad culture where autonomy is the default: you own your decisions and ship without red tape.

About Your Future Manager

You'll report to Yanis, Head of Engineering - but don't expect micro-management. Yanis grew from Lead Engineer to Head of Engineering over 4 years at Qonto. He's a pragmatic generalist who's built payment integrations from scratch and is equally comfortable on the frontend and backend. His approach: give engineers real ownership, create a culture where sharing failures is as valued as sharing wins, and get out of the way so the squad can ship.

Hiring Process

• 2 Interviews (1 hour each): first with your Talent Acquisition Manager, and then with Yanis or one of his team leads
• A live exercise (2 hours) to demonstrate how you think and give you a taste of what working at Qonto could be like

We aim to have the hiring process last 10 days max, from first interview to potential offer🤞If you've read this far and thought "that sounds like me but I don't check every box" — apply anyway. We hire on potential and mindset, not checklists.

Your security matters to us

Recruitment scams are on the rise. Keep in mind, we will never work with third-party platforms or agencies that request payment from candidates. If you receive a suspicious message claiming to be from Qonto, please report it right away (support@qonto.com)
