Your role :

As a Software Engineer Java in the Mirakl Labs product teams, your main mission is to design, develop and deploy new business features proposed by the Product Manager. On a daily basis, you will be implementing these new features across all layers of our applications, from interfaces (UI or REST API) through the business layer to the creation of database schemas and scripts. As part of a team with total ownership over the products it develops, you are a key player in ensuring both the business consistency of the product and its technical stability.

The position is a permanent contract, based in Paris, with up to 1 day of remote work per week.

Day-to-day activities:

• Build, test, and ship to production through continuous delivery
• Harness AI-powered tools like Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor to move faster
• Join design sessions alongside a team of 5 developers, the Product Manager, and UX/UI designers
• Shape technical decisions that drive the product forward
• Sharpen code quality through reviews and pair programming
• Own what you build — monitor and debug production issues end to end
• Take part in Stand-ups, Sprint Reviews, and retrospectives
• Help define the next quarter's labs roadmap
• Drive continuous improvement in how the team develops software
• Track the real-world impact of your features: business cycles, adoption, usage
