Aymeric Augustin is a seasoned technology leader and CTO with 18 years of experience building product-focused, reliable engineering organisations across fintech, media, and e-commerce. Currently leading engineering at Qonto, he combines executive leadership with hands-on backend expertise—particularly in Python and Django—gained from long-term open-source contributions to projects like Django itself and the Transformers test suite at Hugging Face. He has founded startups and led tech at CANAL+ and Oscaro, thriving in fast-moving, entrepreneurial cultures that prioritize customer experience and operational quality. Aymeric’s engineering fingerprint includes modernizing legacy codebases, improving test coverage and CI reliability, and porting projects to newer Python versions. Based in Paris with top-tier training from École Polytechnique and Télécom Paris, he balances strategic product thinking with practical code-level improvements. An interesting aside: his LinkedIn humor and a small JavaScript snippet reveal a pragmatic, slightly wry approach to automating tedious tasks.
