Senior🎓
Top SchoolSimon Degraeve is a Senior Frontend Developer with 13 years of engineering experience building scalable web platforms and design systems from startup to scale. Based in Lille, he has led frontend teams and shipped core SaaS features—payments, accounting exports and migrations—from Spendesk to large delivery and recruitment platforms. He combines deep front-end expertise (including theming contributions to the widely used Material-UI library) with full-stack and edge deployment experience, maintaining CI/CD pipelines and Cloudflare Workers hosting. At Welcome to the Jungle he now designs LLM-powered sourcing search engines that match recruiter intent to millions of profiles, while keeping translation pipelines healthy across products. Comfortable as both a hands-on coder and a facilitator, he has repeatedly driven migrations, SSO strategies and modular platform architectures across high-traffic environments. His background in open-source components and low-level ops (Linux administration, bundler plugins and web components) gives him a practical edge when bridging product, design and infrastructure.
