Hi, my name’s Morgan. I’ve worked as a developer at Société Générale for two years now. I have nine years of experience working with JavaScript and C#. We work with lots of different programming languages and technologies, which makes the bank a very interesting place to work for developers.
We handle a lot of web projects where we’ll put JavaScript with TypeScript, React, Angular… We also work on mobile apps, and at the back-end, you’ll find Java, C# and Python.
As you can imagine, we have quite a few technical challenges. For example, the bank deals with the huge volumes of data. Another is trading applications. We need high-end performance and also very low latency. And then, on all our projects, and especially on the project I’m working on, we all do continuous integration. Right now we’re looking to move toward continuous deployment, and for that, for example, we’re working with Trunk-Based Development.
Most teams will work in Scrum or Kanban mode. In terms of team organization, for example mine, right now, I’m working as part of a feature team. This means we work with lots of different profiles, like full-stack developers, a business analyst, a product owner, a designer, and a DevOps engineer.
I had a chance to work on an open source project for a few months, specifically on Behavior Driven Development and the SpecFlow tool. On the business end, Société Générale has a page on GitHub, where we’ve open-sourced around 20 internal projects. On our projects, we use a lot of open source input, and we’re also encouraged to contribute ourselves.
So, if I had to persuade someone to come and work at Société Générale, the first thing I would ask him or her to do, is to put aside any preconceptions they might have about IT work in a large bank. Come see how we work, the tools and languages we use, and you’ll find out how cutting-edge we really are!
