We’re seeking a highly skilled & hands-on Backend Engineer. This is a unique opportunity to join Tengo in the early team and make a significant impact on both the product and the technical stack. You will work closely with our CTO Yoann.

To date, our technical challenges encompass :

Collecting, structuring & enriching open web data from hundreds of sources

Use LLM & RAG pipelines to analyse tender speciations (aka dozens of long PDF docs per tender)

Building a SaaS app that enable our customers to find tenders that match their business needs

Creating features to assist those suppliers in responding to the tender

💡

The first 2 points will be your primary area of work ;-)

As Backend Engineer, you will:

Feed data to the Tengo product to bring value to users dealing with public tenders daily. For example, typical tasks are :

Scraping data and deduplicating it

Extract & structure content from PDF files, index it in databases

Write prompts for LLMs, build tooling & dataset to evaluate performances

Collaborate with the tech & product team to ship quality software, fast : write and challenge specs, technical design, peer coding, reviews, …

Participate in the daily life of an early stage startup that is focused on one thing: building an ambitious product

Tech Stack

If you are not familiar with the entire technical stack of Tengo, don't hesitate to apply! We think good software engineers adapt fast to new technologies.

Backend: Typescript, Nest.JS, PostgreSQL, Prisma ORM, Langchain

Frontend: React

Infra: Heroku, Github, AWS

Internal Tooling: Notion, Slack, ChatGPT, Figma

🤩 Is that you?

Our philosophy

Our tech team:

is pragmatic: we like to find the quick solution that delivers value instead of the perfect solution

loves end-user interaction: We want to step into the user's shoes to build the best product for them. For example, we often answer tenders ourselves to experience the pain points. Everyone participates in discovery calls or provides support

aspires to grow personally and collectively: we value feedback, humility, teamwork, and improvement. We learn by reading, meeting others people, exchanging points of views

We hope that our values will resonate with you!

The ideal candidate

You have 4+ years of software engineer experience on coding SaaS apps in teams

You have previously defined technical implementations and challenged software architectural designs

You’re eager to join an early stage project, define on a young product & get your hands dirty implementing it

You’re curious and enjoy exploring new areas (you might even grow to love tenders!).
