What We Do

Join a team of passionate and hardworking entrepreneurs to transform healthcare!

Working in the tech team at Doctolib involves building innovative products and features to improve the daily lives of care teams and patients. We work in feature teams in an agile environment, while collaborating with engineering, design, and business teams.

At Doctolib, we build products that need to scale to millions of people throughout Europe and to yet remain easily maintainable by hundreds of developers. We do several daily deployments, and run 25K+ automated tests through our CI pipeline. The backend runs on Ruby on Rails, backed by PostgreSQL and MongoDB. Our PostgreSQL databases represent a total of 30TB and receive 30M queries by minute under high traffic.

What You’ll Do

As an Engineering Manager, you will lead Doctolib’s Core Backend team, ATP, which manages the backend foundations for Doctolib.

• Ensure business objectives are met as a team, by driving growth and performance of each team member;
• Set the roadmap for your team, and be the end-to-end owner of the team’s delivery and quality;
• Participate in code reviews and be hands-on if required;
• Lead cross-functional initiatives to up-level our engineering team;
