Description: Join the team developing the financing infrastructure for professional retraining in Europe. First developer recruited, alongside the founders. Our mission Umanity finances people who the current system leaves aside: some were on RSA or at the end of their unemployment rights at the time of their application. Since our launch, more than 50 people have been funded. Six months after their training, 90% are employed, with a monthly net salary increasing by €956 on average. Umanity is only reimbursed if the person finds a properly paid job: we have no interest in financing training that leads nowhere, and this is what aligns our economic model with the success of candidates. Umanity in briefUmanity finances professional training for people who cannot afford it. They reimburse a percentage of their salary, only once employed above an income threshold. Without a job, they owe nothing. In just over a year, we have: - built and put into production a platform that manages the entire contract cycle, from application to the final payment; - financed around fifty people, for more than €300,000 in training; - signed 20 partner training organizations, from B2B sales to photovoltaic installation; - initiated the examination of a guarantee from the European Investment Fund and a debt facility backed by our contracts.Umanity is a mission-driven company, founded by Nicolas Goilav (ten years at BNP Paribas, engineer by training) and Jean-Baptiste Cazenave (ex-Lifen).The positionYou have responsibility for tech and product, alongside the founders. This is a very operational role: you develop applications used internally and externally (by our clients, candidates and partner schools), you arbitrate technical choices and you monitor the activity to be able to make the right decisions. You work daily with the entire team, founders included, on a platform which is already running in production. The objective is common: to make it the infrastructure that will track thousands of contracts, to the nearest cent. This platform today has six applications, built by the founders with intensive use of AI agents:- Pulse, the core business: candidate files, granting engine, contracts, monitoring;- ISA-Tape, the portfolio: monthly photographs, borrowing base, indicators monitored by lenders;- Pricing, which rates training organizations and sets the conditions of contracts;- umanity.fr, which covers the acquisition and the candidate and partner spaces;- France Jobs, our data on job tension;- an application for controlling our agents.Stack: Python (FastAPI, SQLAlchemy), TypeScript (Next.js, React), PostgreSQL, Redis, Docker, OVH hosting in France and Vercel.Your missionsYour missions will be to build and implement a system to:- offer a simple and reassuring experience to each of our users: the candidate who submits his file then monitors his repayments, the training organization which guides its learners and monitors their financing, the lender which monitors its portfolio;- guarantee a reliable end-to-end platform: architecture, security, production launches, interface contracts between applications and proven recovery plan;- make the portfolio auditable by any lender, each figure transmitted to an investor finding himself back to his source data;- scaling up the granting engine: explainable and replayable decisions, new sources of verification (open banking, tax data by API), measuring the link between score and reimbursement;- valorizing our rarest asset, the data that links training, a profile and a real income trajectory;- continuing to benefit from AI to the maximum, with agents who write, test and deliver under the supervision of the team, and an equal requirement efficiency and quality; - maintain the product roadmap with the founders, based on what the candidates, training organizations and lenders experience. As the team grows, the role is intended to evolve towards that of CTO: long-term technical vision, recruitment and supervision of the tech team. What we offer - A role of first engineer, with the responsibility, autonomy and decision-making power that goes with it. - A share of capital in BSPCE, and an evolution towards role of CTO as the team grows. - An already living system, with real contracts and proprietary data, on which you move forward with the team from day one. - Finance, employment and AI in the same product, under the gaze of institutional lenders. - An impact that is measured in salaries actually earned by those financed. What we value - The results
