Why join the Engineering team at Omnea?

If you're serious about becoming a top engineer, it's not just about what you build. It's about how fast you move, how much ownership you have, how strong the people around you are, and how quickly you learn.

Most teams get one or two of those right, but very few manage all of them.

Engineering at Omnea does.

The pace is high and ownership is real. People don't wait for permission - they see problems and fix them. If something is broken, you fix it. If a customer is struggling, you understand why and build the solution.

Don't just take my word for it, hear it from the team directly.

I joined as a Founding Engineer. Today we're over 50 people, with clearer disciplines and growing specialisation, but the culture is still very similar to when we were a small team building the MVP.

Four things stand out, and you'll see them quickly if you join.

We're solving a genuinely hard problem

Most businesses don't move slowly because of a lack of tools. They move slowly because of how people communicate, make decisions, and manage risk.

Procurement sits right in the middle of that. It touches finance, legal, security, and operations, with complex workflows, multiple stakeholders, and high-stakes decisions. A single request might move across finance, legal, and security - each with different requirements, risk tolerances, and timelines, often with incomplete information and changing context.

The reality is messy. Systems are fragmented, data is inconsistent, and processes don't follow clean, predictable paths. You can't just put a neat model on top and hope it works. You have to understand the chaos first, then design systems that can handle it.

Under the hood, that means complex data models, integrations, and millions of events flowing through workflows that don't behave perfectly. This isn't simple SaaS. It's core infrastructure for how organisations actually operate.

We care deeply about our craft

Solving problems like this requires real technical depth. The systems are complex, the data is messy, and the edge cases matter.

Engineers here take pride in understanding how things actually work. You're surrounded by people who care deeply about getting better and expect the same from you. That means building robust systems, getting the details right, and developing a real intuition for how the system behaves under real conditions.

We expect engineers to stay at the edge of their craft. That includes working with the latest AI capabilities as they evolve, understanding how they behave in practice, and applying them in production.

But we're not academic about it. The most elegant solution isn't always the right one. We focus on what works, iterate quickly, and optimise where it matters.

We move fast and have real ownership

The pace is high - things ship quickly, and you see the impact of what you build straight away.

But speed here isn't chaos. It comes from ownership and clarity. There's no such thing as boundaries - your scope is what you choose to take ownership of, and what needs to be done to improve the product.

We're all product engineers. You're not handed neatly scoped tickets, you're expected to understand the problem and shape the solution. If something affects the product or the customer experience, it's part of the job.

You build it, you run it, and you improve it - no relying on separate teams to catch issues or keep things running.

We build things that matter

Everything we build is used in real workflows, every day. The bar isn't whether something looks good in a demo or even makes it into production - it's whether it solves a real problem people actually care about.

We're not building demos - the product is used by large organisations to run critical parts of their business, which means what you build is relied on from day one.

Building AI that solves real problems is at the core of what we do. It's embedded into the product and used by every customer - not as a layer on top, but as part of how the system works. The space is moving quickly, and staying at the edge of it is part of the job.

If you're serious about mastering your craft, moving fast, and building things that matter, you should take a closer look. This isn't for everyone, but it's the right place for the right people.
