<h2>Job description</h2>Chance is the digital coaching path to choose the job that will make you happy.&nbsp;Chance thesis is simple: “Engagement at work is a necessary condition for performance at work, and performance at work is a necessary condition for social mobility. And engagement is a function of a person’s authentic sense of purpose aligning with rewarding work”.The product enables a user to participate in a 3-month program during which they experience self-reflection, exploration through advanced autocoaching, and human coaching through video-coaching, in order to choose the work that aligns with their aspirations, skills and personal context.Pioneer of the “PsyTech”,&nbsp;every step of the Chance program is adapted to each individual, thanks to real-time data and behavioral analysis. It designs an individualized program, driving the participant to make a series of informed decisions leading to a more fulfilling career path.Through autocoaching,&nbsp;the talent is guided to reflect more deeply about the way they think: who they are, how to make choices, what has meaning, what does not. The talent will then be recommended different career paths that correspond to her aspirations, leading to a methodical exploration phase to make the final choice. Chance accompanies the talent until she actually reaches her new professional objective. Video-coaching sessions complete each step of the program: a professional coach, one-on-one tailor-made sessions, to help gently break down the psychological barriers that may exist and have been identified during the self-reflection phase.Our tech orientationBy the nature of Chance service, we develop a triple-sided marketplace infrastructure to drive the interactions of our Talents (customers), Coaches and internal Customer Success.The solution is currently web-based, providing 3 applications and 2 main backends. We plan to start the move to native applications by the end of the year.During the last months, we have been validating our business model and the time to scale it has come. For that reason, we are looking for talented engineers able to come up with powerful abstractions to allow the product to support an increasing number of both features and users.&nbsp;www.chance.coJob descriptionAs a senior software engineer, your challenges will be broad in scope and will lay the foundations for a system that will provide cutting-edge digital experiences to hundreds of thousands of people all over the world.We value ownership and adaptability.
