About Agicap

Created in Lyon in 2016 by three French entrepreneurs, Agicap is one of the fastest growing scale-ups in Europe, with more than 8,000 clients, 600 employees and rapid growth in turnover (multiplied by 7 between 2021 and 2024). Agicap is part of the French Tech 120, which rewards the most promising startups in France.

Agicap allows financial departments of mid-sized companies to effectively manage and forecast their cash flow, pay their suppliers and get paid. By combining a cash management system with accounts payable and receivable management solutions on a single platform, Agicap aims to become the new benchmark in cash management for mid-sized companies.

We have raised 145 million euros since our creation, from prestigious venture capital funds such as AVP, Greenoaks, Partech and BlackFin, with a final round in November 2024.

These additional resources further fuel our product innovation, allowing us to grow significantly and accelerate our international expansion across the world.

We are convinced that our success lies in our passionate and dedicated teams, committed to building a company where everyone can grow and build their career. We are constantly looking for new talents, striving for excellence and ready to join our ambitious adventure!

Agicap is becoming an AI-first company. We train all of our employees to work with AI and automate part of their tasks themselves. Some projects are too long, too cross-functional or too technical to be carried out by a business team alone.

This is the role of the AI Lab.

It's the pivot team that builds the internal tools that change the way Agicap works on a daily basis. Our compass: rapid operational impact, short iterations, 360° work with all teams (Sales, CS, Finance, Product, Marketing, Data, C-level).

It's a job creation: the acceleration of AI is changing our processes and the way we work. We need senior support to support this transition and incorporate it into practices that last in the long term.

The team you will join:

• 4 people, including you: a junior AI engineer, a part-time Tech Lead (who will be your manager), a Product Manager.
• Your role: provide the technical perspective that the team lacks today (infra, architecture, maintainability, scalability) — build quickly, but without creating debt for tomorrow.
• You are in direct interaction with all the business teams at Agicap: it is a very transversal, very exposed position.

⚡️ Responsibilities:

You alternate between rapid framing, build and iteration:

• Understand the need for a live business team, frame what really has impact vs. what is comfort, prioritize.
• Build internal tools from end to end: scoping → dev → production → iteration with users.
• Develop the common AI platform: MCP servers, integrations, cross-functional tools made available to the entire company.
• Make the technical decisions that structure the Lab: infrastructure, choice of stack, architecture. There is no heavy existing to conform to, you build to scale.
• Raising the technical level of the team: mentoring the junior AI Engineer, transmission of best practices, useful code review.
• Proactively identify the processes where AI brings real benefits — and build the solution.

Examples of projects over your first 6 months:

• Product feedback loop: build a system that digests all customer feedback logs (calls, RFPs, CS feedback) and produces prioritized recommendations for Product Managers. Today the data exists but we cannot digest it.
• MCP infrastructure project: provide Agicap employees with MCP servers connected to their daily tools, on a scale.

⚡️How we work:

Total autonomy: team of 3, you decide, you take responsibility for your choices.

High ship rate: we deliver daily, we measure, we iterate. 

AI on a daily basis in delivery: we use Claude, OpenAI, Mistral on a daily basis to build — we don't observe the AI wave, we're in it.

English required: many employees are English speakers. Your partner is French-speaking.

👀 The profile sought:

We are aiming for a senior profile with Tech Lead experience — someone who has already made impactful decisions, pushed demanding technical subjects, and actively explored the AI field:

• ~4-5 years minimum experience in dev, on projects actually put into production.
• Tech Lead experience or equivalent: you have already made architectural and infrastructure decisions, you know how to arbitrate between velocity and debt.
• Concrete and recent practice of LLMs: you have tried things, carried out experiments, tested Claude / OpenAI / Mistral. You are the driving on these subjects, not the follower.
• Python and TypeScript in your toolbox. Language matters less than your ability to choose the right tool for the right problem.
• Solid technical foundations: you master and understand what you are delivering.
• Ability to deliver quickly and prioritize what really has an impact — Doer mode, not PowerPoint mode.
• Proactivity and curiosity: you identify opportunities that no one has formulated, you go looking for them.
Fluent
• Professional English.
• Assumed autonomy: in a team of 3, you cannot hide. 

⭐ Stack and tools

LLMs: Claude (Anthropic), OpenAI, Mistral — the team is not a single provider, you choose the right model for the right use.

Languages: mainly Python and TypeScript.

Infra: it's up to you to build it, with real decision-making rights — no heavy existing items.

In-house AI tools: MCP servers, common AI platform, agents connected to business tools.

Cycle: Continuous Delivery, daily production, direct user feedback.

🎁 What we offer

• A direct and visible impact position in an AI-first company of 600 people.
• An ultra-responsible framework: autonomy, ownership, technical decisions at your level.
• Remuneration: €55K - €70K depending on expertise + SYNTEC vacation bonus.
• CDI, package in hours, 39 hours including 4 additional hours paid.
• 25 days of paid leave + 10 days of flexible leave (usable upon arrival).
• Location: Our headquarters in Lyon or possibility of Full-Remote.
• Mutual Alan (family extension possible), Swile restaurant vouchers (11€/day including 6.50€ covered).
• CSE advantages: annual KDO card, Gymlib/EGYM wellpass, etc.
• Starting ASAP.

⏳ Recruitment process:

1. Screening with the Talent Acquisition team — presentation of the position and validation of the fit (30-45 min).
2. Two technical interviews with the AI Lab team (formats and topics communicated in advance). 

Feedback within 24-48 hours at each stage. Fast, transparent process.

Agicap is committed to guaranteeing equal opportunities for all and promotes an inclusive work environment that values ​​diversity!
