Summary
Benjamin Duron is a Senior Software Engineer in Paris with nine years of experience building and scaling B2B SaaS products, including two founding roles. He has deep practical expertise in DSLs and language engineering from his work on PayFit’s Jetlang—designing runtimes, compilers, and IDE tooling to tame complex European payroll rules—and now drives architecture and delivery at Piana. Comfortable across TypeScript, Python and functional languages like OCaml, he blends backend systems thinking (graph algorithms, recalculation engines, microservices on Kubernetes) with product-minded front-end and tooling work. A graduate of 42 and holder of entrepreneurial and growth-focused training (HEC, TheFamily), he pairs hands-on engineering with startup grit and a track record of documenting and aligning stakeholders from C-level to dev teams. Notably, his background spans founding consumer-facing ventures and mentoring educational hackathons, reflecting a rare mix of product, pedagogy and language-tech specialization.
