They will discover, compare and purchase directly inside conversational AI interfaces like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and a growing long tail of specialized AI assistants.\nFor brands, this is a major shift: if they are not present in these environments, they become invisible.\nOur mission: enable any brand to exist, sell and distribute in this new channel.\nWe raised a €7M seed round (the first in Europe on this market), with Jean-Baptiste Rudelle, founder of Criteo, on our board, and the Bpifrance DeepTech label.\nToday, Lemrock is already:\n100M+ conversations per month\n\n150+ brand clients\n\na $100B market structuring at high speed\n\nContext\nYou'll join a small, high-ownership engineering team (software, AI, data) building production systems that serve millions of users. We care deeply about code quality and clean architecture, and we intend to keep it that way as we scale.\nLemrock is accelerating and the team is about to grow. As our VP Engineering, you own how engineering runs: the team, the way we deliver, and the technical roadmap. You report to our CTO, who keeps the product and technical vision.\nYour mission\nTeam & hiring\nGrow the engineering team: build the hiring plan with the founders, run the process and hold the bar\n\nManage the engineers day to day: 1:1s, feedback, career paths, then the first layer of leads as the team grows\n\nKeep a culture where ownership, code quality and speed go together\n\nDelivery & process\nTake the product inputs, prioritise with the CTO, staff each project and commit to dates you hold\n\nSet up the process the team needs at its size, no more: planning, rituals, code review, incident handling\n\nMake capacity and trade-offs visible to the founders, early\n\nTechnical direction\nOwn the technical roadmap and turn new product bets into scoped, staffed projects\n\nMake the architecture, infrastructure and tooling calls with the CTO and the senior engineers\n\nOwn reliability, security and infrastructure costs as traffic and integrations grow\n\nStay close to the code: design reviews, code reviews, and shipping yourself when it unblocks the team\n\nAI-native engineering\nScale the way the team builds with AI agents (Claude Code, Cursor): shared practices and tooling, so we go faster without lowering the quality bar\n\nAfter 6 months\nThe team has grown with engineers who raise the bar, and everyone ships every week\n\nDelivery is predictable: the founders know what lands when, and it lands\n\nThe technical roadmap runs through you, and the CTO is back on product and vision\n\nCandidate profile\n10+ years of software engineering, including 3+ years managing engineers\n\nHas grown an engineering team at an early-stage startup (seed to Series B): hiring, structuring and delivering through the growth\n\nStrong technical background: has built and owned production backend systems, and can challenge an architecture choice on the merits\n\nHas run delivery hand in hand with product: priorities, planning, trade-offs\n\nUses AI coding tools every day and has brought a team along\n\nEx-CTO, ex-founder or first engineering leader of a startup: a strong fit\n\nProfessional proficiency in French & English\n\nTech stack\nTypeScript, NestJS, React, PostgreSQL, Redis, Docker, GCP (Cloud Run, Pub/Sub, BigQuery), Terraform, LLM integrations. A similar stack is a plus, not a requirement.\nWhy join us\nJoin a company in early breakout mode, already generating revenue, with a clear technological edge and strong financial backing to fuel its growth\n\nWork directly with an experienced team: two repeat YC founders who've scaled product & tech before, a former strategy/innovation director (10 years in the sector), and ex-strategy consultants (McKinsey QuantumBlack, BCG)\n\nBe part of the next structural shift of the web: agentic interfaces\n\nOwn mission-critical topics, grow fast, and shape the company's future trajectory\n\nPackage\nCompetitive salary + equity, disclosed during the interview process.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4043,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":10,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"French","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false}]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"France","iso":"FR","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Artificial Intelligence","Commerce","LLM & Generative AI"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-04T10:30:30Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":1,"expected_fill_days":29,"reasons":["conf:3","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-06T05:58:05Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/lemrock-vp-engineering","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/lemrock-vp-engineering.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-06T16:12:18Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":30110,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-07T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4404133},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4404133"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Flemrock-vp-engineering"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Flemrock-vp-engineering"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Flemrock-vp-engineering"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/lemrock-vp-engineering\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Flemrock-vp-engineering"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3737572}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"lemrock.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3737572},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
