Role

Who you are

  • Strong technical expertise in software development and architecture, TypeScript, and cloud-first solutions
  • Ability to work independently and confidently, even in dynamic situations and with limited information
  • Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, in English, to facilitate effective collaboration with the team. Proficiency in French is also highly regarded

  • We are a rapidly growing team and product within Fountain that operates with agility and speed
  • You will be expected to make decisions even when faced with uncertainty, and you will have the freedom to do so
  • In fact, you will operate with the autonomy typically found in early-stage product development, rather than in a larger organization
  • This role requires collaboration within a globally distributed organization, spanning different time zones, continents, and cultures (including Western and Northern Europe, USA, South Africa, India, and more)
  • Plan and take responsibility for delivering your product
  • Design, develop, test, and maintain product features
  • Collaborate to enhance core stack technologies and architecture

  • Implement and maintain the stack using best practices and current pragmatic boundaries
  • Provide clear reports on your product scope, planning, and team members to your superiors

Otta's take

Theo Margolius

COO of Otta

Companies regularly struggle with recruitment, spending valuable time and resources on sourcing candidates, interviewing them, and analyzing job eligibility. Applications are processed through antiquated job board systems and require additional lengthy processes such as paperwork signing, background checks, and training - ultimately presenting a need for innovation in the recruitment processes.

Fountain provides a data-driven recruitment and candidate management platform for businesses, allowing them to leverage their data to identify recruitment inefficiencies, and automate interviewing, hiring, and post-hire workflows. The company provides bespoke solutions for industries such as hospitality, healthcare, and retail, integrating its technology within industry-specific software and communication formats to make the recruitment experience easier for prospective employees and employers.

Whilst the company faces competition from other automation-driven recruitment platforms, Fountain stands out by improving the recruitment process for both employees and employers, helping to reduce communication and processing speeds for both parties. Through this approach, the company claims that it can increase recruitment scope, speed up recruitment processes, and help companies to hire the best candidates for their hiring goals.

The company is also working to expand its offerings, developing new AI capabilities such as its newest conversational AI solution.
