Why Joining Blackfire?

I have always had a passion for optimizing things and have always been developing tools to pursue this in my profession. Blackfire.io is a well established company that has similar mission with some amazing engineers in their area of expertise.

Christophe Dujarric

Christophe is the Chief Product Officer at Blackfire. He's an engineer, but probably one of the least "tech" people in the company. He's wearing many hats, from product management to marketing and sales. He loves the beauty of simple solutions that solve actual problems.
