What is a Software Engineer at Licorne Society?
At Licorne Society, a Software Engineer is at the heart of building the digital infrastructure that powers the French startup ecosystem. As a premier talent partner and recruitment platform for high-growth tech companies, Licorne Society relies on sophisticated matching algorithms, proprietary data pipelines, and a highly responsive platform to connect elite talent with top-tier "licornes" (unicorns) and scaleups. Your work directly impacts how rapidly scaling companies build their core engineering, product, and business teams.
You will design, develop, and optimize services that handle complex data enrichment, semantic search, and candidate-client matching workflows. Because Licorne Society operates at the intersection of recruitment and high-tech, the engineering team must maintain a highly agile, pragmatic, and scalable codebase. You will work on a modern tech stack—often centered around robust backend frameworks, relational databases, and cloud-native infrastructure—ensuring high availability and performance.
This role requires a unique balance of technical depth and product intuition. You are not just writing code; you are building tools that shape the future of tech teams across Europe. Whether you are optimizing database queries to search through tens of thousands of developer profiles or building seamless integrations for client-facing portals, your contributions directly accelerate the growth of the entire startup ecosystem.
