Lead Software Engineer

We are looking for a Lead Software Engineer to join our EMEA Engineering team in France (remote). What does a Lead Software Engineer at CoderPad do? As a Lead Software Engineer at CoderPad, you’ll design, build, and ship features across our full stack - taking ownership of complex technical problems end to end and raising the engineering bar for the EMEA team.

You’ll combine hands-on coding with technical leadership: driving architecture decisions, backlog grooming and planning with the Product Manager, making sure what we ship is reliable, scalable, and a pleasure for developers to use. As the global leader in the technical interview space (4,000+ customers in 165+ countries) it is our goal as a Engineering team to build and scale the products that power millions of technical interviews and assessments worldwide. This role is located in France and works standard CET / CEST hours, collaborating asynchronously with our distributed EMEA and US teams.

What you’ll be doing - Design and develop new full-stack features (React / TypeScript on the frontend, Java, Node.js, or Ruby on the backend) in collaboration with the Product Manager and the designer. - Use AI coding assistants and agents (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, Codex) as a core part of your workflow - to accelerate feature delivery, automate repetitive engineering tasks, and offload boilerplate so you can focus on design and review. - Contribute to architectural and technical design decisions within the team. - Write automated tests and ensure code quality through code reviews. - Deploy and monitor your own features in production (GitLab, AWS, Kubernetes). - Contribute to the continuous improvement of the team’s engineering practices. - Partner with Product and other teams to scope, prioritise, and deliver impactful work. What you should bring - 6+ years of professional software engineering experience, including senior or lead-level ownership - Proficiency in at least one backend language (Java, Ruby, Node.js), a modern frontend framework (ideally React), and SQL. You don’t need to master all technologies from day one. - Solid experience designing scalable, reliable systems and conducting thorough code reviews. - Comfortable working autonomously in a distributed, remote-first environment. - Hands-on experience leveraging AI tools to ship faster - code generation, agentic workflows, scripting/automation, or building internal tooling on top of LLMs.

We care about how effectively you use these tools, not which ones. - Professional working proficiency in English. Compensation Compensation Statement - Compensation for this role is base salary only (no variable component). - Base salary range (in EUR): €65,000 - €75,000 - Exact salary is based on skills, experience, location, market ranges, and other compensation offered. The salary range does not include equity and company-wide
