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.
Kayla's home turf
Bordeaux: tram, river, no commute, real wine. Office is 5 minutes from Place Pey-Berland.
