CDI Tech Lead

ValueCo is a mission-driven company that aims to explicitly integrate environmental, social and human criteria into company performance and market valuations. We are developing the first SaaS solution to collect proprietary ESG ratings from investors and provide market analyses to asset managers, institutional investors, and corporates.

Our collaborative model and cutting-edge research make us the only player to collect and leverage asset managers' internal opinions. This model enables us to draw on the collective intelligence of responsible investors to improve market practices.

We are already working with over 40 banks and asset managers and launched our web platform in April 2023. In late 2024, we are starting a seed fundraising round to expand the team.

What's special about ValueCo?

We are a highly committed team working with a wide range of actors to achieve a transition towards a more sustainable and ambitious approach to finance both in Europe and abroad.

We are a Finance Innovation Label Awardee, a signatory to the UN Principles for Responsible Investment, a member of The Good AI community and an alumni of the Techstars "Future of Finance" accelerator 2022 cohort.

ValueCo values the diversity of the people it employs and serves as part of its corporate commitments with a mission. We promote a work environment where individual differences are recognized, respected and valued in order to develop their full potential and to make the most of each person's talents.

We are looking for a dynamic team leader to take ownership of our product by developing and maintaining our web platform. This position would lead to the role of ValueCo’s Head of Engineering to oversee all our technical efforts once the team expands. Your challenges will include:

·       Challenge the technical and architectural choices made so far to anticipate the product scale.

·       Ensure the platform meets the cybersecurity standards set by our customers and build our way towards the ISO 27001 certification.

This list is likely to evolve according to your aspirations, the moment's needs and the technical team's constitution.

·       Database: We use two types of databases: PostgreSQL (transactional database used to write data and maintain its integrity) and BigQuery (analytical database used to read data and feed the platform APIs and widgets).

·       Team lead/Lead developer/Head of Engineering with at least 5 years of experience in building tech products,

·       Expertise in the various elements of our technical stack,

·      Looking for a permanent contract in a growing start-up,

Once you have submitted your application, enclosing an up-to-date CV or LinkedIn profile and a GitHub account if you have one, we will contact you for a series of three interviews:

1.     A 30-minute telephone interview to tell you a little more about ValueCo and answer your initial questions.
