We work on various projects such as ticket forecasting and pricing, 3D optimization of air freight or scraping competitor prices. Our applications are the preferred tool of companies such as SNCF, United Airlines, Qatar Airways or even PSG to visualize, analyze and optimize their capacity.\nDynamic and ambitious, we strive to maintain our technical DNA which is the engine of our success. The company, profitable and self-financed since its creation 10 years ago, is mainly composed of engineers and experts and currently supports the growth of our business model based on \"software-as-a-service\" solutions.\nYour missions\nWiremind now runs three products (CAYZN for revenue management, PAXONE for rail booking, EVENTORI for sports and entertainment ticketing), each with its own software team, and shared Data, Platform and IT & Security teams: close to 80 engineers in about ten teams, led by Heads of Software Engineering, Heads of Data and a VP Platform. This organization grew from one product team to several in a few years, and it now needs a leader whose full-time job is to make it work as one.\nReporting directly to Charles, Wiremind's CTO and Co-founder, you will take ownership of the Software Engineering and IT & Security teams: their people, their ways of working, their delivery and their budget. The Heads of Software Engineering and the IT & Security lead will report to you. Charles keeps the technical vision, the product strategy and the research agenda; you build the organization that delivers them.\nYou will not code day to day. You must still be able to read our code, challenge an architecture and hold your own with our principal engineers: at Wiremind, credibility with engineers is earned on the technical ground.\nMultiple organisational change are in progress, the first is AI: every engineer at Wiremind works with coding agents, but the rest of the lifecycle (review, maintenance, sizing and scoping) has not caught up, and we do not measure the impact. Beyond engineering, you will help non-tech teams adopt AI to gain productivity internally, and activate every lever that can make the company more efficient. The second is culture: the company grew from one product team to several, silos appeared silently, and not enough is shared beyond a few libraries. The third is people: you build how your teams are followed and how managers grow, with career paths for engineers who manage and for those who do not. You make leaders emerge: spot potential, help developers grow and keep learning, and give them room to take on more. You also set a clear company position on our philosophy for hire.\nTechnical environment:\nBackend: mostly Python (SQLAlchemy, in-house task queue), GraphQL and REST APIs\n\nFrontend: TypeScript with Next.js, Angular and React depending on the product, D3.js\n\nData and ML: PostgreSQL, ClickHouse, Elasticsearch, Redis, Python ML stack, in-house forecasting and optimization models\n\nGitlab for continuous delivery, Kubernetes for infrastructure, Prometheus/Grafana and Kibana for operations\n\nAI coding agents for every engineer\n\nYour profile\nYou have 12+ years of experience in software engineering, including 5+ years managing managers in an organization of 50 or more engineers, across several products or business units.\n\nYou have built the processes of a growing engineering organization: delivery, reviews, career ladders, hiring, budget, and you can say which ones you would not do again.\n\nYou have led the adoption of AI coding agents in an engineering team and can talk about what it changed, in numbers.\n\nYou have owned an infrastructure or engineering budget and reported to an executive committee or a board.\n\nYou stayed technical: you can read a codebase, discuss an architecture with principal engineers, and tell a good design from a fashionable one.\n\nBonus: experience with B2B SaaS, revenue management, transportation or ticketing.\n\nOur benefits\nBy joining us, you will become part of:\nA self-financed startup with a strong technical identity!\n\nBeautiful 900 m² offices in the heart of Paris (Bd Poissonnière)\n\nAttractive remuneration indexed on performance\n\nA caring and stimulating team that encourages skills development through initiative and autonomy\n\nA learning environment with opportunities for evolution\n\nYou will also benefit from:\nA hybrid policy: 2 days of remote work per week and the possibility to work occasionally from abroad\n\nAccess to WellPass at a preferential rate to maintain your well-being\n\nA great company culture (monthly afterworks, regular meetings on technology and products, annual off-site seminars, team-building…)\n\nOur Recruitment Process\nA screening interview with Anne-Laure our Lead Talent Acquisition Manager\n\nA technical screening interview with Charles, co-founder and CTO\n\nAn at-home assessment in two parts: a short technical exercise (3 to 4 hours) used as a baseline for your design and coding, and three use cases drawn from real situations in our organization today\n\nA in person technical session with Charles on the technical exercise for 1 hour\n\nA second in person session on the use cases with Charles and some members of the tech leadership team: Head of Software, Head of Data, VP Platform\n\nA last in person interview with Colin, co-founder and CEO\n\nWiremind is committed to equality of opportunity, diversity, and fairness. We encourage all candidates with the necessary experience to apply for our job offers.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5678,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":12,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"France","iso":"FR","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Artificial Intelligence","Events & Ticketing","Transportation & Logistics"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-30T19:28:29Z"},{"event":"close","at":"2026-10-03T18:00:55Z"},{"event":"reopen","at":"2026-10-06T15:23:45Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":11,"expected_fill_days":70,"reasons":["conf:3","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-12T06:55:09Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/wiremind-vp-engineering-mf-cdi-paris","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/wiremind-vp-engineering-mf-cdi-paris.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-12T09:16:08Z","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":14026,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-13T00:00:00Z"}},"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":172848},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=172848"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fwiremind-vp-engineering-mf-cdi-paris"},{"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%2Fwiremind-vp-engineering-mf-cdi-paris"},{"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%2Fwiremind-vp-engineering-mf-cdi-paris"},{"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/wiremind-vp-engineering-mf-cdi-paris\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fwiremind-vp-engineering-mf-cdi-paris"}]}
