Job Description

You will join the Telephony team, owners of the platform that powers every inbound and outbound call across papernest — call tracking, routing, scheduling, real-time event processing and integrations with our telephony providers and Salesforce. At papernest, AI is core to how we build. We expect every engineer to be AI-powered. You'll be a role model for AI-augmented engineering: using AI tooling fluently across the whole development lifecycle while setting the standard for safe, compliant and responsible AI usage on a business-critical system. This is a high-impact, high-autonomy role; we are looking for a senior backend engineer to take the reins: own the architecture, raise the technical bar, and keep a system that handles business-critical call traffic reliable and fast. You'll work mainly on our core telephony service — an async FastAPI application following Domain-Driven Design, progressively migrating a legacy codebase toward a clean, well-specified architecture.

Job Responsibility

  • Own the architecture and technical direction of the telephony backend, and drive the ongoing migration from legacy code to our DDD architecture
  • Design and build reliable, event-driven services: call tracking, scheduling, external event consumption, and provider integrations (telephony providers, Salesforce Pub/Sub)
  • Write robust async Python (FastAPI, SQLAlchemy) with strong typing, full test coverage, and clear specifications
  • Make and document the hard technical calls — data modeling, throttling, retries, failure handling — pragmatically weighing trade-offs on a system where downtime means lost calls
  • Leverage AI tooling (Claude Code, Cursor, AI agents) to ship faster and better, and define how the team adopts AI responsibly and within our usage and security guidelines
  • Set the engineering standard: code reviews, mentoring, and lifting the team's practices around testing, observability, and CI/CD
  • Collaborate closely with Product, Ops and other engineering teams to turn business needs into solid technical solutions
  • Own your work end-to-end — from design through autonomous deployment and monitoring in production

Requirements

  • 8+ years of backend software engineering, with deep expertise in Python
  • Strong with our stack or close equivalents: FastAPI (or Django/Flask), async SQLAlchemy / PostgreSQL, Redis, message queues, AWS
  • An AI-powered engineer — you use AI coding assistants and agents fluently as part of your daily workflow, and you know how to apply them responsibly and in compliance with usage, security and data-handling rules
  • Proven track record designing and operating business-critical production backend services at scale — async, event-driven, integration-heavy systems where reliability is non-negotiable
  • Pragmatic by nature: you make sound, trade-off-driven decisions, ship the right thing rather than the perfect thing, and know when to optimize and when to keep it simple
  • Solid grasp of software architecture (DDD a strong plus), clean code, and rigorous testing — you treat tests, types and specs as part of the job, not an afterthought
  • Experience mentoring engineers and raising team standards
  • Fluent in English, working French is a plus

Nice to have

  • Telephony, real-time systems or CTI integration experience is a plus
  • Working French is a plus

What we offer

  • Business Creator Share Warrants (BSPCE) package upon joining
  • Great deals on home insurance and green electricity and gas to employees
  • Alan health insurance with 50% coverage by papernest
  • Swile card for €9/day meal vouchers, 50% funded by papernest
  • Breakfast every Tuesday at the office
  • Ideal Garden fridge on site
  • Discounts at partner restaurants
  • Access to GYMLIB service for discounted gym membership
  • Continuous training tailored to your goals (technical, linguistic, or managerial)
  • Multiple career growth paths
  • 2 days of remote work per week
  • Privileged access to Ekie for personalized legal and tax advice
