TLDR;

Join a super ambitious 3-months old company and kickstart the engineering side. We have raised a pre-seed round, have built our first prototype and we have launched our private beta. Everything is still to be done. €50K-€65K, equity, and whatever you need to work in great conditions.

• 🙋 Problem: Raise your hands if you've had useless meetings before
• 🙋 Mission: Unleash companies' velocity

🏋️ Team: Join a dedicated, ambitious and pragmatic team

Our best asset is our velocity

We have started working on Hera in November 2020. We don't have a team of 50 engineers nor a defined product-market fit. Our single best asset is our velocity: how fast we can iterate and learn.

In a 3 months, we have:

• Conducted 100+ user interviews
• Built a Minimum Lovable Product for Hera, that we use every day 😍
• We have raised a pre-seed round with a top-tier fund and business angels to fuel our ambitions for 2021
• We have launched a private beta with a new cohort every month.

Based in France, with a global ambition

• We currently live and work in Paris, France.
• We are very open to remote work, as long as the timezone is compatible with Paris (+/-2hrs)
• Given our current speed of iteration, speaking french is a huge plus, but if you are a master in your craft, only speaking english is fine 🇺🇸🇬🇧
• Our market is global. Our initial focus for 2021 is on France and US.

A culture of excellence requires an excellent treatment of our collaborators

• €50K - €65K + Equity The cash/equity split is negotiable 😃
• Remote-friendly
• The hardware & gear your need to do your job 🤓
• A culture of speed, learning and pragmatism
• First-in-class health insurance

Louise Bayssat, COO — Known as the one whispering at our users' ears

⬆️ We have worked together for 2+ years prior to Hera ➡️

Bruno Vegreville, CEO — I need your help to fix my code 🙏

👉 You: Help us build a beautiful product our users want to use every day

As the first employee and engineer, you will be instrumental to Hera's success and growth.

You will get to make critical decisions about how to implement our core features, how to deploy our product and how to structure our technical teams.

Entrepreneurial drive: You need to thrive in uncertainty

• You are more excited by the avenue we have in front of us than you are anxious about the attached uncertainty
• You are not paralysed by a vague scope and you enjoy the freedom it gives you to express your creativity.

Empathy for the customer, with a sweet drop of pragmatism

• You know when to deep dive in the code, but you always keep in mind that the product is only useful if actually used by our users
• You are comfortable with writing code that we might (will?) re-write in 6 months
• You know how to prototype quickly to test a feature before writing a final version

Growth mindset

• You have worked at a early-stage start-up before OR you have had experience hiring and managing engineers in a fast-paced environment

→ Also, Bruno has been a product engineer before so you won't be alone by yourself doing the heavy-work in the codebase 💪

What is our current stack?

• ReactJS (hooks), Electron
• Apollo, GraphQL, Nexus
• Node.js, TypeORM, PostgreSQL
• Typescript everywhere

🤩 Action: Interested in cracking a problem, meetings, happening 55* million times a day?

*55 million is actually just in the US...

Here's what the typical process looks like ⤵️

1. Send us a mail at [email protected] or [email protected] and say hi 👋 More than your degrees or certificates, we would love to hear your thoughts on the problem we're tackling and why you think you would be a good fit!

2. Chat with Louise and Bruno

   The goal is to getting to know each other, and for us to tell you more about what we're building at Hera.

3. Technical call with Bruno The goal is to understand how you think about programming, architectures and overall product development.

4. Behavioural interview The goal is to better understand how you work, think, and react!

5. We typically call one or two person you've worked with In the early days of a start-up, our biggest strength is the team so there's not much room for mistakes there 😬
