The Backend engineering team at Qonto currently has over 130 highly skilled engineers, from all over the world, working closely in cross-functional teams to shape our finance solutions. Each backend developer is empowered to challenge and influence the direction of the features they are working on.

👩‍💻🧑‍💻 As a Backend Engineering Intern at Qonto, you will :

🧠 Join a cross-functional team and build innovative financial features such as: providing a blazing fast and reliable card authorization service, innovative transfers solutions, delightful onboarding experience, state-of-the-art payment gateway, etc

🎙 Participate in the discussions on the strategy & vision for our product by being fully involved and integrated into our cross-functional organization (Tech, Product & Design)

⚙️ Work in a top-notch environment, where our apps are thoroughly tested, continuously deployed, and closely monitored

🤝 Learn and grow: by getting continuous feedback to improve your skills (both technical and on your ways of working). You will partner closely with a dedicated Backend engineer who will teach you and guide you throughout the internship. You will learn to read, write and review production-ready Golang and Ruby applications

💻 Our stack

Qonto was originally built as a banking application in Ruby. The Core Banking System was then written in Golang for obvious performance reasons. We are now leveraging both languages to write our new applications.

However, not mastering Ruby, and Golang is not an issue at all! A lot of Qontoers have learned since they joined us.

To help you to quickly learn and grow on our stack, beyond the documentation & pair programming, we have a specific program for you and your dedicated mentor will be there to answer all your questions.

At Qonto you’ll encounter different technologies around storage, communication, and deployment: PostgreSQL, Kafka, ElasticSearch. You’ll learn how to use Docker, Kubernetes, and Grafana.

🤔 What you can expect: our methodology, the Qonto Way

• We highly value the analysis phase on software delivery. We're putting a heavy emphasis on upfront technical designs, team reviews, and smart slicing. You can expect to focus on quality, which we believe drives the velocity our customers need.

• We think success comes from a space where you're given time, support, and autonomy to improve yourself, our systems and our processes. Our lean toolbox enables you to monitor your constant improvements (Kaizen, PDCA) in a collaborative way with your peers and manager.

• Our engineers, working in cross-functional teams, dedicate themselves to one feature at a time.

• You have some experience coding in Golang, Python, Ruby, or a similar language and you know the basics of SQL

• You are product-minded: you are committed to building a great experience for our users

• You understand the principles of why and how we test code

• You are curious, open-minded, and eager to learn

• You are comfortable with English

• Bonus point if you have development experience on a live production quality application

At Qonto we understand that true diversity isn't just about ticking boxes on a hiring checklist. Apply regardless of the boxes you tick! Who knows? You may have the missing piece of the puzzle we've been searching for all along ☺️
