Job Description:The Mission
Join a dedicated product team operating in full startup mode, building the next breakthrough social platform. We're creating something that's never existed before – and we need you to make it happen.
As a Backend Engineer in our mobile team (3 iOS devs, 3 Android devs, 2 backend devs), you'll be at the heart of product innovation. Here, code is a means, not an end: what matters is the impact on our millions of users.
We're not looking for architects obsessed with technical debt or building the perfect stack. We're looking for builders who want to iterate, test, and ship features that users love. Your code will directly power experiments that reach real audiences, giving you immediate feedback on what works and what doesn't.
What You'll Do
You'll have the autonomy to make decisions, the freedom to experiment, and the responsibility to deliver results. This is not a role where you execute someone else's plan you'll be co-creating the product strategy.
Tech Stack
Core: Python (asyncio), FastAPI, REST/GraphQL, MySQL, RabbitMQ, Docker/K8s
Legacy/Bonus: PHP, Elasticsearch, MongoDB
Qualifications:
The Must-Haves

What Will Really Make the Difference
This isn't about maintaining systems you'll be building a social experience with creative freedom to shape it. The ideal candidate has an experimentation mindset, product passion, and genuine ownership. You get excited about A/B test results and user metrics because you want to see your work in millions of hands. If you see code as a craft but features as the art this role is for you.
Additional Information:Work arrangement
This position is open to fully remote (France only) or Paris-basedi n the 3rd arrondissement
No on-call duties required
Don't check every box? Apply anyway.
We're looking for the right person to join the team, not just a perfect resume. If this role excites you but your experience doesn't align perfectly with every requirement, we still want to hear from you.
Dailymotion is an equal opportunity employer. We value inclusion and want you to help us build a more diverse community. All positions are open to people with disabilities, and we encourage everyone to apply. Need accommodations during the hiring process? Just let us know in advance.
