Front-end Engineer

We have a simple yet ambitious goal; to sell train tickets in the easiest way possible for all European destinations. Booking a train should be just as simple as hopping on a train.

Capitaine Train was founded by 3 engineers obsessed with simplicity. Our organisational structure is very simple and linear: those who make product decisions are the same ones who build them. We are a young and small start-up (40 people) and we are growing very quickly. Your work will have a direct and visible impact on the growth of our company.

Our beautiful office is located in the heart of Paris. We’re surrounded by bars, restaurants, theatres, startups and are near the four main Parisian train stations. We offer a great package including fixed and variable salaries, an awesome health coverage plan plus stock options.
