About Ornikar Ornikar is expanding its historic driving school offer and becoming a mobility access platform for young people! Their goal: to reinvent the experience of young generations around learning to drive, and to support them through an ecosystem of services such as car insurance. Founded in 2013 and a leader in modernizing the driver's license, the Ornikar team continues to evolve and advocate for the emancipation of young people and the transition to their independence! Today consisting of 250 employees, their team has continuous growth built on solid foundations: their driver's license product (e-learning platform and marketplace for connecting with our driving instructors) on the one hand, but also their in-depth user knowledge which allows them to offer car insurance closer to the needs of young insureds: flexible, simplified, adapted to all with a price and personalized options.
Job Description:- About the Tech Team at Ornikar
- We develop the technological products that revolutionize the teaching of the road code and driving. Our tech team brings together around fifty engineers (front, back, QA, SRE) divided into autonomous squads.
- On the frontend, the scope covers all of our user interfaces: our mobile applications in React Native (Expo, bare workflow), B2B teacher app and B2C candidate app, as well as our web interfaces in React. TypeScript is used on the majority of our projects.
- Design system designed by our teams, common language with designers
- Quality and tests: e2e tests, CI validation, graphical non-regression tests
- Continuous deployment: more than 20 deployments per day on average
- Monitoring: Datadog for application performance, logs, and infrastructure
- We Are Looking for Three Frontend Engineers
- We are recruiting three Frontend Engineers to strengthen our Education squads: Experience, Purchase Marketplace, and Enablement Engineering.
- Before going further, here is a quick overview of our different squads for which we are recruiting.
- Experience SquadThe Experience squad builds the learning journey of our students, from the first road code test to the passing of the license, as well as the pedagogical tools of our partner teachers.
The challenge:
a clear journey for all our candidates, from the follow-up of learning stages to pedagogical follow-up, passing through administrative procedures. It is also the squad that reinvents the learning of the road code on mobile and on the web, and that explores the integration of AI to personalize and facilitate the journey of obtaining the license. All this while building a scalable product, for France and potentially for the international. Purchase SquadThe Purchase squad is at the heart of the purchasing journey of Ornikar: it is through its services that every transaction of our students passes, whether it is the learning of the road code or the reservation of driving hours with state-certified teachers. It is a demanding and very practical domain. An order that does not go through, a payment received without a counterpart, or a failed refund has an immediate impact on the student, business, and support sides. The squad therefore carries the reliability and readability of the journey from end to end, from onboarding to collection. Marketplace SquadEach month, more than 30,000 students book more than 150,000 driving hours with our more than 2,000 independent teachers, available everywhere in France from 6am to 11pm, 7 days a week. The squad's ambition is to build the best reservation experience you have ever had, and to facilitate the daily life of thousands of independent teachers who use our product every day.
Engineering Enablement Squad:
Engineering Enablement is a tech squad for tech: its users are the engineers of Ornikar, and its subject is their ability to design, test, and deliver quickly and serenely. Each improvement delivered benefits all squads. On the frontend, the scope is concrete: the technical management of the design system and front transverse subjects, the build and release chain on the stores, the development environments, the testing tooling that holds our 20 daily deployments, and the AI tooling of the tech team. Your Missions, Regardless of the SquadDesign and deliver impactful features: as a Feature Owner, you pilot the complete cycle, from framing the user problem with the PM and designer, to post-deployment follow-up and measurement of results. Raise the frontend quality of the squad: you contribute to defining best practices with the Core Front Team and are the guarantor on a daily basis (code reviews, standards, tooling).Maintain and evolve the stack: performance, technical debt, version upgrades, and contribution to transverse Working Groups. Animate team life: daily, sprint review, demos, etc. You are the engine in rituals and knowledge sharing. Doubling your impact: thanks to AI, you constantly seek to accelerate your way of working, and have already experimented with concrete use cases with a real impact on your efficiency.
