Discover the steps we took to create a discrimination-free hiring process. ⭐ Mission Join us as a Freelance Full-Stack Engineer to build one of Qonto's first internal applications: a modern, high-quality People platform that transforms the daily experience of 1,700+ Qontoers - from compensation cycles and performance reviews to everyday HR workflows. You'll work hand-in-hand with Mélodie, our Head of People Systems, on a high-ownership mission: co-define the product vision, design the architecture, and ship to production. This is not a staff-augmentation engagement - it's a mandate for someone who builds like an owner. 👩‍💻🧑‍💻 As a Freelance Full-Stack Engineer, you will • Ship the People platform MVP by December 2026: migrate key Workday modules into a custom internal app (React for the front, Go for the back) that handles comp cycles, performance reviews, and daily HR workflows for 1,700+ Qontoers - on time and with zero compromise on quality. • Co-define the product vision and roadmap with Mélodie: run user discovery with People teams, challenge specs, and help decide what gets built first - not just how to build it. • Design for security and compliance from day one: architect systems that handle sensitive People data (GDPR, access controls, data residency) with the rigor the context demands. • Ship faster with AI: leverage AI tools (Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot…) in your daily workflow and build AI-enabled features where they create real leverage for the People team. • Enable long-term adoption: document your work, run training
