👋 We are Leeway

• Leeway is the new way to manage and negotiate contracts. We combine a collaborative experience and powerful automations to put a smile on the face of every people involved in a negotiation.
• Great design to build unforgettable experiences. As product-driven people, we believe that the difference between a good product and an excellent one is in the details.

🔧 The position

• You will ensure that you always maintain a maximum level of security and guarantee absolute confidentiality for each of the functionalities developed.

• You will contribute to the construction of the technical team and play an important role in it: participating in technical reviews, architecture, recruitment, etc.

👟 About you

We know that perfect candidates don’t exist. Even if not all of this applies to you, we’d love to learn more about you.

• You've built B2B SaaS products. We offer the best user experience and it isn't only a matter of design but also of performance. You'll have a role to play regarding that point and we will challenge you.
• You love technical challenges. You're not afraid to spend long hours busting your head over technical challenges and see problems as opportunities to think differently and create innovative solutions.
• You enjoy engaging the team. You don't just code things, you also challenge them and give feedback when you think we can do better.
• You care about more than code quality. You build reusable things and don't jump into the code without having the big picture. You can make trade-offs between speed and quality.
• You dare. You like to take responsibility and move forward with the projects entrusted to you as a leader and you like to test new things in order to always offer the best experience to our customers.

Bonus:

🤔 Our process

The starting date is as soon as possible. However, we are willing to wait for the right candidate. And will do everything to accommodate your needs. We are mindful of your time and going through all stages can be done within one week. Once you've passed them all we will extend a formal offer.

You'll walk through six stages:

1. Get to know each other: A 30mn call to pitch Leeway and get you excited to join. We'll also use this chance to see whether both our expectations align.
2. Interview on your achievements, skills and how you could contribute to Leeway's culture: Sébastien and you are going to chat more about the position, your experiences, what you value and expect, and whatever is on your mind.
3. Technical assessment: We know that your time is valuable we don't want it to be painful for you. We've actually designed an assessment that requires a minimum of time to be completed. Once done, we'll have a quick call to understand how and why you did things this way and give you feedback.
4. References call: We'll ask you to make an intro to one or two people you worked with in a previous experience. We see this as a truly two-sided decision and we'll make you an intro to one of our investors to give you as many insights into us as possible if you want.
5. Meet the team: You'll get to meet our two other team members (Antoine & Thibaut). We value team fit over everything else. This also gives you the chance to see whether you'd enjoy working with us.
6. A drink/lunch with the team: Because it's also great to have a relaxing chat and talk about everything like good old friends.

We are lucky to hear from you! 🥳
