9. You are comfortable communicating in English.

At Factorial we don't evaluate you by the years of experience you have, we evaluate your knowledge and skills. How? We have a Career Path with a rubric framework where we define what is expected for each experience level and skill. This framework allows you to know at which level you're right now and what you need to keep growing. As we love transparency, our Career Path includes the salaries for each level and we share it during the first interview to make sure we're aligned.

For this senior-level position, the annual gross salary is 60,500€ regardless of your location. This includes a base salary of 55,000€ and a variable pay of up to 5,500€ annually (paid quarterly), depending on the company's goals.

Your daily life with us

You’ll start with a 2 weeks onboarding period, where you will:

1. Learn about Factorial: our product, our team, our clients
2. Pair with each member of the team at least once, to see their current initiatives
3. Solve low-stake bug tickets or quick wins
4. Commit early and often thanks to our preprod and demo environments
5. Be fully integrated in the team’s rituals from day 1

A Senior Engineer at Factorial influences requirements definition with the EM/PM, and is autonomous to deliver a polished solution that matches those, working with colleagues in other teams where needed. You participate in the team’s decisions through Requests For Comments that you write yourself or reading others’.

You will be a product-centric engineer, taking ownership of big initiatives, and being interested in the outcome, not just the output. About the outcome, you’ll also work with your team members to establish goals and plan a quarterly roadmap, putting special attention to the technical needs of our domain.

You will review code, and get feedback on your own code.

You will learn from the entire team, both on technical topics (performance, architecture…) and core skills, in an environment driven by engineering quality.

You will share your knowledge, through the RFCs you write, pairing sessions, our mentoring programme or the occasional appearance in the monthly Tech All Hands.

The hiring process

If you apply, here’s what to expect:

1. A first conversation with our People Business Partner. It will be about comparing our expectations and making sure we match on a human level.
2. A second conversation with the team’s engineering director. Similarly to the first one, this is about making sure you are a fit and can work together.
3. A tech interview with three Factorial engineers: This will be a conversation about technology, not an exam or code review. We’ll ask you to send us a piece of code you’ve written recently and are happy with, to use as a basis for the conversation. If you don’t have anything, we’ll share some specifications for you to build, but the focus will be on how you think, not the exact code.
4. And that’s it! Feel free to request any other conversations you want, with team members or to address specific concerns at any time in the process.

The whole process is remote, using videoconferencing tools!
