Qonto is the leading European business finance solution. It simplifies everything from everyday banking and financing, to bookkeeping and spend management. Qonto energizes SMEs and freelancers so that they can achieve more.

📋 Description

• Join our AI Lab as a Tech Lead and help Qonto build the AI-first product that transforms how 600,000+ businesses manage their finances. • Spend most of your time doing what you love — shipping — while providing the technical direction and light mentorship that turns a high-velocity squad into a high-quality one. • Work alongside Sophie, our Manager for the AI Lab, you'll set the technical standard for a 13-person cross-functional team as we scale from one AI agent to many. • Directly manage 5 engineers across Backend, Web, and Mobile — leading by project and track, not by stack — keeping pace with our ambition: one new agent every 6 weeks. • Act as the technical interface between the AI Lab and the broader organisation — understand how features are built across Qonto, bring that knowledge into the Lab, and ensure what we build in agents integrates with the wider product.

🎯 Requirements

• Python depth with a leadership track record: Strong production experience in Python, with experience setting technical direction in a team — Go and/or Ruby are a plus for Qonto service integrations. • IC-first mindset: You've grown into a lead or management role but genuinely want to keep shipping. 70% coding time isn't a constraint — it's what draws you to this role. • AI-native workflow: Daily use of AI coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot) is a baseline expectation. You use them yourself and set the example for your squad. • AI curiosity over AI expertise: Production AI experience not required — what matters is genuine curiosity, active experimentation, and the drive to build things even outside of work. • Coaching ability: You know how to develop junior engineers — give feedback that lands, spot growth opportunities, and run progress reviews that actually move the needle. • Strong communicator: You articulate technical decisions clearly to non-technical stakeholders and navigate cross-functional squads with ease.

🏖️ Benefits

• Unlimited access to the best AI tools on the market: Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Dust, Notion AI. • A Python-first stack with hands-on AI agent work from day one — PydanticAI, LangGraph, LangChain in the mix (framework awareness appreciated; production expertise not required). • A squad culture where autonomy is the default — minimal process, quick dailies, weekly demos with leadership, and every hour counting. • The opportunity to define what technical leadership looks like in an AI-first fullstack team — this role is being built as the Lab scales.
