Hello! 👋
We're looking for a Senior level Engineer to join in the Payroll Domain.
We want someone who will add positively to the team's culture, being fully remote and multi-cultural.
Payroll Domain 👛
Payroll is a key domain for Factorial's growth, and it's critical to our users too! Our mission is to make payroll effortless for companies: we believe preparing payslips should be a no-brainer with the right tools!
We don't calculate payroll ourselves, but we enable all the actors around the process to get the right data, at the right time and in the right format. Once we've provided it, we let experts do their magic!
To achieve this, we're currently split in 3 teams, with each:
- 4 to 7 developers,
- 1 product manager,
- 1 product designer,
- 1 engineering manager
Payroll Professionals Team 💼
Inside Payroll, Professionals team is the one in charge that the actors around the payroll generation are aware of all the changes that could affect the payroll calculation and can communicate between them.
A bit more about the team… it’s a diverse team: in gender, culture, seniority and background. Composed of 4 developers (in search of the 5th member!), 1 product manager, 1 product designer & 1 engineering manager.
The Engineering team at large
At Factorial, we have a team of +150 very talented fullstack developers. We look for smart people who are curious, proactive and have good soft/communication skills.
We are not looking for a long list of skills and technologies. Our stack is Ruby on Rails for the backend and React/React-native for the clients, but it’s not mandatory to be proficient in those to be considered (most of the team came with other areas of expertise which is very enriching). We believe that someone who has good aptitudes and is hungry for learning is what works best.

The hiring process
If you apply, here’s what to expect:
- A first conversation with Raquel, our People Business Partner. It will be about comparing our expectations and making sure we match on a human level.
- A second conversation with Marina, the team’s engineering manager. Similarly to the first one, this is about making sure you are a fit and can work together.
- A tech interview with 3 Factorial engineers: that’s a conversation about technology, not an exam or a code review. We’ll ask you to send us a piece of code you’ve written recently and you’re happy with, to use as a basis for the conversation. If you don’t have anything we’ll share some specifications for you to build, but the focus will be on how you think, not the exact code.
- And that’s it! Feel free to request any other conversation you want, with team members or to address specific concerns at any time in the process.
The whole process is remote, using videoconferencing tools!
