Generative AI is changing how people work - yet most teams barely scratch the surface, unsure how to turn the hype into real, everyday value. Closing that gap is exactly what Mendo does.\nMendo is the AI Transformation Platform for enterprise clients. Rather than adding yet another tool to the stack, we work right inside the AI tools teams already use - Microsoft 365 Copilot, ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and internal agents. From there, we guide people toward proven use cases, certify their skills, and give organizations a clear view of what's actually driving value.\nAnd it's working. We support 100+ enterprise clients - including EY, PwC, Crédit Agricole, SNCF, La Poste, ENGIE, Groupe SEB, and Novo Nordisk - with 200+ use cases live, a user NPS of 64, and 3x GenAI ROI within months. We've raised €12M following our Series A and we're scaling fast.\nJoin us and you won't just ship software - you'll shape how the world's largest organizations adopt the defining technology of our era, and help keep people at the center of the AI revolution rather than left behind by it. We believe humans have a vital role to play in this revolution, and we're building the platform that keeps them there.\nCore mission\nLead full-stack development within one of Mendo's technical squads. As Lead Dev, you'll manage a small team of developers, own the quality and technical direction of your product area, and stay hands-on in the code.\nWe're scaling fast - more squads, more product surface, more clients - and we need strong leads to help us grow the engineering org without losing our bar for quality. You'll be one of the people we count on to build the teams of tomorrow.\nYour squad assignment will be defined based on your profile, your technical interests, and our product priorities.\nKey responsibilities\n1.
