We believe in being transparent about compensation early in the process rather than waiting until the final stages.

Always stated in our job descriptions, compensation depends on experience, scope, and location. Our goal is to stay aligned with the market’s 60th percentile, while ensuring consistency with the level of impact expected for the role and with the rest of the team.

We understand that compensation conversations are important, and we approach them pragmatically. While offers are generally not negotiable, we make sure they are aligned with your expectations, market standards, and internal team coherence.

For every roles, yes.

We want people to feel connected to the company’s long-term success, especially as Qobra continues to grow.

Compensation is typically reviewed annually during formal review cycles. In scaling environments like ours, growth opportunities and therefore compensation progression can happen quite quickly.

Yes. Because teams are still evolving, people often grow faster than they would in more structured environments.

We have a clear career framework that supports growth both in expertise and in management. We value strong individual contributors just as much as high-performing managers, and we aim to provide meaningful growth opportunities for both paths.

Very ambitious.

People join Qobra because they want to build something meaningful and operate at a high level not just maintain the status quo.

A lot.

If something feels inefficient or broken, people are encouraged to challenge it and improve it.

Our office is located at:

53 - 59 Passage du Caire, 75002 Paris

Right in the center of Paris, between Sentier and Strasbourg-Saint-Denis.

We believe onboarding and collaboration work much better in person, especially early on.

That’s why new joiners are usually expected to spend their first 3 months mostly from the office to build connections, understand how teams work, and ramp up faster.

After that, the usual rhythm is around 3 days per week in the office, with shared team moments like the Monday kickoff.

We also offer more flexibility during certain periods of the year, including dedicated remote weeks during July, August, and December.

Not really. Most people dress casually and comfortably. However, If you’re meeting clients or attending an event, people usually level up a bit (business casual), but no suits required unless you really want to 😄
