We are hiring

Build the OS for modern companies

Small team. 30+ apps. One product. We are looking for engineers, designers and operators who would rather ship than meet. Bordeaux, France : remote-friendly within EU.

How we work

Four things we believe

No mission-statement bingo. Just the four behaviours we actually hire on.

Range, not depth

Engineers who design. Designers who write. PMs who code. We are too small for handoffs.

Ship weekly

Every week something visible goes out. We dogfood. Tootela runs on Tootela.

Honest, not polished

We say what we don't know, what we got wrong, what is still rough. No press-release speak.

Long horizon

We are building this for a decade. Hop-around culture is not for us.

What we offer

The package

No ping-pong tables. Real things that matter.

Cash + meaningful equity
Competitive Bordeaux/Paris rates. Real ownership for early hires.
JEI status
Full social-charge exemption on R&D salaries : we pass the headroom on to you.
EU-remote OK
Bordeaux first, but you can live anywhere in EU time zones.
Visa sponsorship
Passeport Talent for exceptional candidates outside the EU. Relocation help included.
Real days off
5 weeks paid + French RTT. Unlimited PTO is a trap, we don't do it.
Tooty's home turf
Bordeaux: tram, river, no commute, real wine. Office is 5 minutes from Place Pey-Berland.
