Role & missions – What you will do 🚀

You will work with other engineers on our low latency and highly scalable Java backend, ensuring it always stays up. The Java backend is a core component for our LiveOps and UAM solutions, so you will participate with multi-disciplinary teams to make decisions about our future products and services.

Our Culture—Who we are🪐

At Homa, we value brains over backgrounds and determination over degrees. We believe actual growth results from diversity — nationalities, backgrounds, skill sets, and personal experiences — all working towards a single objective. If you’ve got the smarts, energy, and motivation, no barriers keep you from going far.

We are the people behind the platform - the creative specialists giving creators the data needed to power up their creativity. At Homa, we live by the three central values:

  • Ambition: we put flags on summits. We set our goals ambitiously high and don’t shy away from the climb. We’re on a mission to take over an industry thick with incumbents who won’t go quietly into the night. To succeed here, you’ll need a highly metaphorical shield and a sword.
  • Humility: we put our egos aside. We put our hands up. First to volunteer to help, second to high-five. Having an ego is natural, but letting it run the show is unhelpful to everyone. In the words of Mr. Lamar: Sit down. Be humble.
  • Curiosity: we keep our eyes open. We believe the best way to know anything is to question everything. And to do that, you need open eyes and open minds at all times.

Benefits

  • While success is its own reward, here are some of the benefits that come with working at Homa:
    • We offer essential benefits in France and specific locations, including health insurance, meal vouchers, public transport subsidies, childcare benefits, and life insurance
    • If you're interested in working from our newly renovated Paris HQ with a rooftop garden and WeWork amenities, we have a desk waiting for you
    • You will be working in English with our international team of top-tier talents from 35+ countries
    • You will be able to attend diverse team events and Workations (the famous company-wide Homa trip)
    • You will have quarterly reviews to help you grow within Homa and build your own career path.
