Senior Software Engineer (Tech Lead)

Join our founding team to define the future of AI-powered software development — and build the platform behind the first ever AI-first creative studio!

About Rowads

At Rowads, every line of production code is written with AI agents. No code reviews. No PRs. No review bottleneck. Our only KPI is Request-to-Live — the time from "I need this" to a deployed product. Current: under 3 hours. Goal: under 30 minutes.

We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to become the technical backbone of the company and one of the world's foremost experts on AI-native software development. You'll own our core infrastructure, push the boundaries of agentic coding, and help us reach our goal: 100x software development speed.

Key Responsibilities

• Pioneer AI-native development practices — define how AI agents write, test, and deploy production code

• Obsess over Request-to-Live — slash the time from "I need this" to deployed

• Own the platform infrastructure — gateway, auth, ACL, storage, deployment pipeline

• Keep the codebase AI-perfect — architect nano-apps small enough for AI agents to hold full context

• Scale the parallelism — build systems that let 5 engineers run 25 AI coding agents in parallel

Requirements

• AI coding obsessed: You already use Claude Code, Cursor, or similar tools daily

• Strong software engineering fundamentals

• Security-first mindset

• System design chops

• Zero ego about code — comfortable rewriting systems you built last month

What We Offer

• Top 10% French market salary + equity incentives

• Location: Paris (Coworking Morning Feydeau, Bourse), on-site

• Founding employee status with high impact and autonomy

• Unlimited access to best AI tools (Claude Code Max 20x for every engineer)

• Support building your public profile as an expert on vibe-coding at scale
