About Shine

Shine is the financial copilot for entrepreneurs and small business owners.

Founded by serial entrepreneurs Rico Andersen and Martin Hegelund, Shine is a leading European fintech unicorn on a mission to restore the joy of running a business, by ending wasted time on financial admin. Shine offers a connected solution for invoicing, accounting, payroll, business accounts, payments, and financing, meaning business owners can focus their energy on growing a healthy business, not held back by manual admin.

Part of something bigger
Today we're part of Cegid, a European leader in cloud software for finance and accounting. Together we're building Europe's leading financial copilot for small businesses and their accountants.
Shine already supports more than 400,000 small businesses. As part of Cegid, we now reach over one million small businesses and 15,000 accountants across Europe.
We're a multicultural team working from France, Germany, Denmark and the Netherlands, contributing to a wider European network that spans Spain, Portugal and Belgium.

Your hiring experience matters
Just as we respect our customers' time, we respect yours. Your experience with Shine and Cegid should feel simple, transparent and genuinely supportive.
If this sounds like somewhere you want to grow, we'd love to hear from you.

One application. Multiple teams. The right fit.

We're not hiring for one role, we're hiring for many, and we want to find the best place for you within Shine's engineering organisation.

This is our Engineering Pool: a single application that puts you in front of multiple product and platform teams. Instead of applying to a specific opening and hoping it matches, you apply once. Our Talent Acquisition team will get to know you, understand what you're looking for, and help guide you to the team where you'll genuinely thrive.

You'll meet engineers from across the organisation to get a real feel for how we build and operate, and with the right match, you'll join a team where the culture, challenge, and craft align with your own growth.

Teams you could join

When you enter the pool, you'll be considered across teams working in domains such as:

• Accounting

• Platform

• Banking

• Invoicing

• CPA Solutions

What we're looking for

We don't hire to a rigid checklist. But across all teams and levels, we look for engineers who:

• Care about the product, not just the technology

• Take ownership: follow through, raise problems early, and care about outcomes

• Deliver with craft: build systems they're proud of and hold themselves to a high standard

• Collaborate well in a multicultural environment, communicating clearly in team rituals, code reviews, and cross-functional conversations

• Are honest, direct, and kind in how they work with others

• Are comfortable in a fast-moving environment, as we're building something ambitious and teams naturally evolve as we grow

• Have made AI a real part of how they build, in their editor, debugging, and design process, and have opinions on what works, because they've tried things

Levels

Our process is designed to assess the right level for you:

• Mid-level: Autonomous delivery, good technical judgement, ability to build and operate a feature end-to-end

• Senior: Technical depth, cross-team influence, mentorship, ability to shape technical direction

• Staff: System-level thinking, long-horizon ownership, meaningful impact spanning the engineering organisation

Our tech stack

Teams at Shine work with a modern stack. Depending on the team, you'll find:

• Languages: TypeScript · Node.js · PHP · Kotlin

• Frontend: React · React Native · Next.js

• Frameworks: ExpressJS · NestJS · Laravel

• Architecture: Microservices · Event-Driven · CQRS · Event Sourcing · DDD · REST APIs · Pub/Sub

• Cloud: Azure · GCP · AWS · Kubernetes

• Databases: PostgreSQL · MySQL · Spanner · BigQuery

We don't expect you to know everything, we expect you to be genuinely good at your craft and ready to learn.

How this works

• Apply once: tell us about yourself, what you're looking for, and where you want to grow

• Intro call with Talent Acquisition: we'll learn about your background, your goals, and explore which teams could be the right match

• Technical evaluations: General Tech & Coding, System Design, and Engineering Manager interviews

• Stakeholder & Collaboration stage: you'll meet a Product Manager from Shine and get a sense of how we work together

• Soft skills interview: so we understand how best to support your growth at Shine

• Offer: if it's a match, we move fast

We want you to leave every stage feeling like you learned something about Shine, not just the other way around.

Where we work

We're a hybrid team with engineering hubs in:

Berlin · Paris · Copenhagen · Gdansk · Madrid Amsterdam

Your experience with Shine and Cegid should feel simple, transparent, and genuinely supportive, just as we treat our customers. If this sounds like somewhere you want to grow, we'd love to hear from you.
