1. How can I apply to Nuageup?

You can apply directly on our website by visiting the Careers section or by responding to one of our job postings on recruitment platforms. Make sure you have an up-to-date CV, and if possible, a cover letter explaining why you would like to join Nuageup.

 

2. What are the steps in the recruitment process?

The recruitment process at Nuageup is structured in several stages:

  • Application submission and pre-screening.
  • Technical evaluation on our Scalyz platform for technical positions.
  • Technical interview with a member of our team to delve deeper into your skills and experience.
  • Cultural interview with our HR team to assess how well your values align with our company culture.
  • Final decision and job offer for selected candidates.

 

3. What types of profiles do you mainly look for?

We mainly recruit technical profiles such as DevOps engineers, backend and frontend developers, cloud architects, and security experts. We value candidates who are motivated, rigorous, and genuinely committed to technical excellence. We also welcome freelancers for specific assignments based on our project needs.

 

4. What is the average duration of the recruitment process?

The recruitment process typically lasts between 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the availability of candidates and our teams. We strive to maintain regular communication throughout the process to keep you informed of your progress.

 

5. How does the technical evaluation take place?

The technical evaluation is conducted through our Scalyz platform, designed to test your skills in a real technical environment. The test is tailored to your level (junior, intermediate, or senior) and specific skills. It includes practical exercises that assess your ability to solve technical problems independently.

 

6. What are the candidate evaluation criteria?

We evaluate candidates based on three main criteria:

  • Technical skills: Mastery of the tools, languages, and technologies relevant to the position.

  • Problem-solving ability: Structured approach and methodology in solving technical challenges.

  • Cultural fit: Alignment with Nuageup’s values and vision, particularly in terms of collaboration, innovation, and customer orientation.

 

7. Do you offer remote work options?

Yes, at Nuageup, we offer remote work options depending on the position’s needs and the candidate’s preferences. We have a flexible culture that promotes remote work, with arrangements tailored to projects and individual responsibilities.

 

8. What is the difference between permanent (CDI) and freelance positions at Nuageup?

Permanent (CDI) positions offer job stability and social benefits (health insurance, retirement, paid leave) as well as opportunities for internal growth. Freelancers, on the other hand, enjoy greater flexibility in terms of assignments and daily rates based on their expertise. Both types of collaborations offer exciting projects and a cutting-edge technical environment.

 

9. How can I prepare for the interviews?

To prepare well:

  • Review the technical skills required for the position and be ready to discuss concrete projects.
  • Learn about Nuageup and our culture to show your motivation.

  • Demonstrate your ability to think critically during the technical interview by explaining your problem-solving approach.

 

10. Can I apply again if my application was rejected?

Yes, absolutely. If your application was rejected, it does not mean you cannot apply again. We encourage you to continue developing your skills and to apply again when you feel ready. Nuageup is growing, and new opportunities arise regularly.
