Software Architect

Our Software Architects are “hands‑on” problem solvers who coach our engineers on code organization, technical debt solving and big features implementation. They are accountable for leading tech roadmaps (performance scalability, security…); experimenting with new technologies, making PoCs and ensuring our architecture remains a reference in the SaaS industry. This is a unique opportunity to:

• Work with complex and cross‑cutting challenges: Building expertise around a complex codebase on which analysis and modelling capabilities are key. Significant traffic (4.5 million monthly active users, 1 million courses played per week, 2 data‑centres) with a considerable volume of data to manage. A strong focus on “clean architecture” for long‑term growth. The opportunity to stay “hands‑on” by regularly refactoring our code, helping squads with their complex projects …
• In a scale‑up wishing to improve itself: Align R&D on strategic subjects: architecture, stack, organisation, roadmap, objectives. Increase the skills of teams by disseminating good practices, organising workshops and writing documentation. All in a context of strong international expansion of the product.
• Within a high‑level team: Our R&D brings together some eighty engineers recognised for their ability to analyse and model extremely complex codebases. Our decentralised peer‑review process allows everyone to benefit from the expertise of the other and to grow.

Within a month, you will:

• Discover 360Learning, its platform, its teams and its culture
• Become familiar with how our R&D way of working
• Understand the team's processes

• Master our stack (NodeJS, VueJS, MongoDB) and our architecture
• Carry out your first (of many) complex project (e.g. implement a cache system to optimise the display of our dashboards)
• Set up several good development practices in the team (e.g. import practices and dependencies between our modules)

Within 6 to 12 months, you will:

• Be strategic in the architectural choices for all our important projects (e.g. design of our messaging queue)
• Lead the evolution of our architecture and our technologies (e.g. to better segment our core‑objects and the corresponding modules, introduce new Services or data pipelines in the stack)
• Evangelise and train our R&D on these developments by defining all the corresponding good practices
• Onboard new team architects
