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.
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.
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.
