About YouNav 

YouNav is the most advanced Marina Management System (MMS) on the market, managing 10,000+ berths and boaters, with 100+ marina staff users. Our software boosts boater satisfaction, streamlines marina operations, and frees up staff from repetitive tasks (younav.com). 

We’ve spent the past seven years creating a tailor-made solution for our first clients—making it profitable and stable without relying on external funding. 

Now, we’re on an exciting journey to transform our specialized solution into a scalable SaaS product used by marinas worldwide. 

We’re a close-knit team of 8–10 people headquartered in Paris, France, and we operate fully remote across Europe. Join us and help shape the future of marina management! 

Why Join Us? 

• High Impact: Be part of a small tech team (CTO + 2 Devs) where your contributions directly shape the product and the user experience. 

• Remote-First: Work fully remote from anywhere in Europe—no office commute, just results. 

• Growth: We’re transitioning from a tailor-made tool to a commercial SaaS, giving you room to innovate and make your mark. 

• Ownership & Autonomy: We minimize meetings and trust each other’s expertise. You’ll have freedom to devise solutions that solve real business challenges. 

What You’ll Do 

• Develop and maintain features within our Python-based stack, leveraging Odoo framework to build and maintain custom modules on top of native modules. 

• Collaborate in a Kanban workflow via GitLab, picking up roadmap tasks from epics and handling weekly maintenance tasks. 

• Write efficient, clean, and reusable code for both backend (primarily) and frontend needs. 

• Work closely with the CTO and teammates on solution design, ensuring features meet business and user requirements. 

• Contribute to continuous improvement of our codebase, CI/CD pipelines, and overall team processes. 

About the Tech Stack 

• Odoo Framework - Python back-end 

• PostgreSQL for database management 

• GitLab for issue tracking, CI/CD, and roadmap planning 

• Cursor IDE (though you can use your preferred environment) 

What We’re Looking For 

Hard Skills 

• 3–5 years of professional software development experience using a Python web framework (Django, Flask, etc.). Experience using Odoo would be a plus. 

• Experience with medium/large legacy codebases and production systems is preferred. 

• Comfort with frontend technologies (HTML, CSS, JS) to handle full-stack tasks, though this role is more backend-heavy. 

• Ability to manage and optimize PostgreSQL or similar relational databases. 

• Familiarity with Git and simple CI/CD workflows (we use GitLab). 

Soft Skills 

• English fluency is mandatory; French is a plus but not required. 

• Problem Solver & Independent: You thrive in an environment with minimal supervision, taking full ownership of your tasks. 

• No Ego, Results-Oriented: You’re focused on delivering value rather than emphasizing titles or hierarchy. 

• Clear Written Communication: Ability to articulate technical ideas in English (French is a plus). 

• Business-Savvy: You can understand the business context before designing and implementing solutions. 

Who Can Apply 

• This role is fully remote but requires eligibility to work and invoice as a contractor in Europe. 

• Exception: We can hire a full-time employee in France if preferred. 

Our Culture & How We Work 

• Weekly Team Meeting: One 30-minute alignment call with the entire project team (including non-devs). 

• Maintenance Day: One dedicated day a week for maintenance tasks. 

• Dev Team Knowledge Share: Informal chat to exchange tips and lessons learned. 

• Continuous Improvement: We deploy often, fix things fast, and focus on learning. 

Benefits & Perks

• Fully Remote: Work from anywhere in Europe—no office, no commute. 

• Compensation: 65–75k EUR/year (gross emploer cost) depending on your location and experience level. 

• Paid Time Off: Minimum 5 weeks of paid time off per year. 

• Team Meetups: Annual get-together at our HQ in Paris, France. 

• Small, Collaborative Team: Direct access to the CTO, CEO, and fellow devs; your impact is immediate and recognized. 

Hiring Process 

1. Application Review: Your application will be screened by our CTO. 

2. Team Interview: A technical conversation (45–60 mins) with the CTO + 1–2 devs to understand your experience and problem-solving approach. 

3. Final Chat: A cultural and alignment interview with our CEO to ensure mutual fit.
