No! We hire throughout Quebec.

We have colleagues who work 100% remotely across the province, and others who enjoy coming into the office every day to work. At Nexapp, you have real flexibility: work from wherever you are most productive, and come in when you need to for the moments that matter.

The management team and managers are an integral part of Nexapp's daily activities. You will see them at our quarterly meetings, happy hours, meetings, and randomly around our open-plan offices. These are all opportunities to take advantage of our linear hierarchy to share your ideas or opinions. In fact, our quarterly meetings bring a lot of transparency to the entire team, and frequent team surveys allow everyone to share their suggestions for improvement.

We adapt to the unique reality of each of our clients to deliver more value. This is what has allowed us to develop our approach, inspired by best practices in software engineering in a variety of fields, including healthcare, finance, SaaS products, and more. However, there are certain elements that are common to almost all projects.

We generally work with our clients in two ways: either in co-development with their internal teams or by carrying out the project from A to Z.

Regardless of the type of collaboration, we aim to support clients throughout their entire software development cycle, from product strategy to development and digital product design.

We build our teams taking into account:

• the strengths and interests of each developer;
• the specific needs of our clients;
• the overall balance of projects at Nexapp.

We favour small, stable, multidisciplinary teams that are able to deliver value quickly. With this in mind, we also seek to preserve duos, trios or teams that work well together, both in terms of performance and the pleasure of collaborating.

Finally, as we practice modern engineering (CI/CD, automated testing, XP and agility), teams are involved from the outset in technical decisions that affect them, fostering autonomy, quality and commitment.

The answer varies greatly depending on each client's situation. Regardless of the project, you can count on an ecosystem of software developers, product owners and digital product designers. Although we operate in the service sector, our teams are not distributed among clients. We work together in Nexapp's physical and virtual environments.

It varies a lot: from a few months to a few years, depending on the scope of the project, with an average of about 36 months. Some clients renew their contracts time and time again to develop their product; others have more specific, one-off needs. The important thing for us is always to deliver results quickly and often, regardless of the duration.

We work with several established and emerging technologies depending on the client's context. What is non-negotiable for us is working according to software engineering best practices, such as:

• automated testing and the testing pyramid
• Test-Driven Development (TDD) and Domain-Driven Design (DDD)
• S.O.L.I.D. principles
• the tell, don't ask (TDA) approach
• clean architecture
• cloud design patterns
• accessibility-first design
• functional programming

For our teams, AI is a tool at their service, never a substitute for their expertise. Our developers use it to speed up certain tasks, reduce daily friction and improve quality, but remain fully responsible for the solutions we deliver. The quality, reliability and maintainability of products remain, above all, a human responsibility.

For our clients, AI represents an additional means of addressing real business challenges through technology, in a pragmatic and measurable way. Since we are first and foremost a software engineering company, every use of AI is carefully considered, supervised and rooted in real life. It must be useful, controlled and aligned with the value delivered, never used at the expense of thoroughness or quality.

Everyone's situation is different, and Nexapp wants your schedule to fit your needs, as long as there is good communication with your colleagues and clients to ensure that projects move forward!

It means working at the heart of real business challenges.

• You are in direct contact with clients and their teams.
• You provide clear explanations of technical concepts and help guide decisions.
• You discover a variety of contexts, which allows you to grow rapidly as a developer.

All this, backed by a multidisciplinary team with expertise in design, strategy and business engineering to support you in your development.

We want to assess your curiosity and desire to learn. We are also looking for people with a positive attitude who want to collaborate with their colleagues on a daily basis. We will evaluate your technical skills: versatility and attention to quality are essential! We will discuss quality principles, testing, web and mobile development with you. Feel free to share your interest in specific business areas or products with us!

We would like to recommend the following books: Clean Code and Clean Architecture. We also recommend the following websites for kata exercises: Kata-Log, Kata-Catalog on GitHub, and Emily Bache on GitHub. For a list of code smells and design patterns, check out the Refactoring Guru website and the Soft Skills Engineering podcast. The following websites may also be useful: TDD Buddy, Code Cop, and Programming with Wolfgang. Finally, here is a useful link to our blog, specifically the technical articles.

The process may vary depending on the position, but it generally looks like this:
An initial meeting to get to know each other and go beyond your CV. We'll talk about your aspirations, your background and your values to ensure a mutual fit!

A second meeting involving the manager. We'll discuss the role in more detail and you'll have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have.

Finally, a technical discussion with two members of the team. The topics to be covered during this discussion will be provided to you in advance so that you can prepare!
