Staff Fullstack Software Engineer - Safety

🎯 MISSION

Today, one engineer owns the entire Safety and VMS stack. The roadmap is loaded: a UK videoverbalization MVP due in June 2026, a France rollout in Q4, a live videoverbalization feature in Q1 2027 — all running in parallel, all critical. That's not a backlog problem. It's a capacity problem.

Vizzia has grown from €4M to €9M ARR and is on its way to €30M, now serving 200+ local authorities across France and the UK. Our Safety platform is at the core of that growth — and the frontend needs to be built from scratch, on a solid architectural foundation, before the next wave of clients lands.

You'll join a small, focused team: Jeremy (Staff Engineer, your direct lead), Jean-Baptiste (Cloud Engineer), Hadrien (PM), and Walid (Designer). The team is intentionally lean — and will stay that way. Your mission: become Jeremy's technical partner, architect the Safety code base from the ground up, and make sure the roadmap ships on time.

🛠️ WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Build the Frontend from Scratch

The mockups are in progress. The stack is defined. What's missing is the person who will turn this into a scalable, maintainable product.

• Architect and build the Safety SaaS frontend using React 19, Vite, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS v4
• Co-design and maintain the design system with Walid — tokens from Figma, components in shadcn/ui, documented in Storybook
• Implement state management (Zustand), server state (TanStack Query), forms (React Hook Form), and i18n (i18next) in a coherent, well-structured way
• Build a custom video player (MediaBunny/MOQs/WebRTC) and handle video streaming requirements
• Deliver a Critical Roadmap
• Ship the UK videoverbalization MVP in production by end of June 2026
• Contribute directly to the France rollout (Q4 2026) and live videoverbalization (Q1 2027)
• Size tasks reliably and flag blockers early — no surprises at sprint review
• Own Code Quality
• Maintain unit test coverage above 85% on all code you touch
• Set up and maintain end-to-end tests with Vitest & playwright across the full application
• Write PRs that are readable without a deep dive — clear scope, clean diffs, useful context
• Co-architect with Jeremy
• Make joint decisions on architecture, patterns, and technical direction — not just execute
• Challenge Jeremy's choices constructively, and expect the same in return
• Take ownership of technical decisions and stand behind them, with arguments
• Set the Foundation for the Team
• Document conventions, contribution rules, and architectural decisions from day one
• Intervene on the backend (Node.js, Hono, Drizzle ORM) and infra (Docker, K8s, Helm, CI/CD) when needed — at least enough to never be blocked
• Onboard the 1–2 engineers joining in 2027 and become the natural technical reference

✅ WHO YOU ARE

• You have 5+ years of experience, including meaningful time in a fast-paced SaaS or scale-up environment — and you've built (or significantly structured) a product from scratch
• You are an expert in modern React and its ecosystem: Zustand, TanStack Query, React Hook Form, advanced hooks, performance patterns — your state management choices are justified, not defaulted to
• You've shipped a scalable frontend architecture before: design system, component library, reusability patterns — and it was still being used 18 months later
• You have solid Node.js / TypeScript fundamentals — enough to own the full stack when needed, not just the client side
• You actively use AI coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot) to move faster without compromising quality
• You don't wait for perfect specs. You challenge the PM and designer when something doesn't make sense — with arguments, not ego. You're the kind of engineer who makes the team around them better, not just the codebase.
