Hey Im Pierre, and Im building the Growth & GTM engineering team at TheFork.
How do you feel about engineering roles where the job is not only to write code, but also to understand why we are building something and how it can create real impact?
At TheFork, we help restaurants grow, manage demand, and connect with millions of diners across Europe. That sounds simple. In reality, there is a lot of complexity behind it.
Restaurants need to onboard faster.
They need to understand the value of our products.
They need better data to make better decisions.
They need software that reduces friction instead of adding more.
Internally, our Sales, Customer Care, and Moderation teams are looking for modern tools and AI that solve real problems, making sure that actual leverage always comes before the trend.
Thats where this team comes in.
The Growth & GTM engineering team exists to unlock leverage across B2B growth and operational efficiency.
Sometimes that leverage is a product feature.
Sometimes it is an internal tool.
Sometimes it is a data workflow.
Sometimes it is an AI-powered automation, an MCP workflow, or a CLI-based prototype.
And sometimes, the best engineering decision is to not build anything until we better understand the problem.
This is not a role where engineers only receive tickets and implement them in isolation.
Im looking for an engineer who wants to get close to the business problem, understand the product context, contribute to technical decisions, ship reliable software, and learn from production.
Someone who wants to be close to the problem, not just close to the code.
Youll work on problems that sit at the intersection of product, engineering, data, operations, and AI.
A few examples:
Some of these projects will be clean product features.
Some will be scrappy prototypes.
Some will require going deep into existing systems.
Some will start with a messy business problem and no obvious solution.
You wont be expected to solve everything alone. Youll work with experienced engineers, Product, Data, and business teams to understand the problem, contribute to the solution, and grow your ownership over time.
Thats the job.
We care about impact, but not in a vague move metrics way.
We care about software that changes something real: a restaurant activating faster, a sales team saving time, a support workflow becoming simpler, a moderation process costing less, or an internal team making better decisions because the right data is finally available.
We like engineers who ask questions before building.
We like prototypes when they help us learn faster.
We like clean systems when the problem deserves long-term investment.
We like boring, reliable software when reliability matters more than cleverness.
We also like AI and automation, but not as decoration.
AI is useful when it removes repetitive work, speeds up decision-making, improves internal workflows, or helps engineers increase their own leverage. If you are already using tools like Copilot, Claude, CLI agents, MCP workflows, or custom automations to work differently, youll probably enjoy this environment.
The goal is not to put AI everywhere.
The goal is to use modern tools intelligently to solve real problems.
In the Growth & GTM team, we mainly work with:
Across TheFork, you may also interact with Kubernetes, AWS, RabbitMQ, and some legacy PHP/Symfony services.
You dont need to have used every tool already. Solid technical foundations, curiosity, and fast learning matter more than exact stack matching.
Im not looking for someone who has already worked on every topic listed above.
Im looking for someone with solid engineering foundations, curiosity, product sensitivity, and the willingness to learn how to turn ambiguous problems into useful software.
You might be a good fit if:
Put another way: Im looking for someone who gets energy from building useful software, learning fast, and helping turn messy growth or operational problems into simple, measurable solutions.
You may not enjoy this role if:
No judgment, its just a different kind of engineering role.
Nice to have:
Restaurants are one of the most operationally complex industries in Europe. A lot of value is still trapped in manual workflows, fragmented data, and software that does not yet do enough of the work.
That creates a lot of room for engineering leverage.
A better onboarding flow can help thousands of restaurants activate faster.
A smarter monetization flow can move revenue.
A good internal automation can save hundreds of hours.
A useful data product can change how teams make decisions.
A pragmatic AI workflow can remove repetitive work and let people focus on higher-value problems.
Youll join a Paris-based team working with colleagues across Europe.
