About The Role

We're looking for a Lead DevOps Engineer to define and execute our infrastructure vision while staying hands-on day to day. You'll lead a small team responsible for reliability, scalability, security, and developer productivity across our cloud and CI/CD stack. This role reports to the Head of Engineering and partners closely with Product and Engineering teams to help us ship faster with confidence.

What you'll do:

  • Own the DevOps/Platform vision and roadmap: reliability targets, scalability strategy, security posture, and cost-efficiency
  • Lead and grow the DevOps team: coaching, setting high execution standards, and creating clear rituals (planning, on-call, incident reviews)
  • Stay hands-on: design, implement, and operate core infrastructure (Kubernetes, cloud networking, CI/CD, observability, secrets management)
  • Build and maintain strong delivery pipelines: CI, CD, environments, release processes, and safe deployment practices (feature flags, rollbacks, progressive delivery)
  • Raise the bar on reliability: SLOs/SLIs, on-call practices, incident response, postmortems, and proactive risk reduction
  • Drive observability end to end: metrics, logs, traces, alerting quality, and actionable dashboards
  • Partner with engineering squads to improve developer experience: local/staging parity, tooling, golden paths, documentation, and self-service
  • Manage cloud cost trade-offs pragmatically, keeping speed and reliability high while controlling spend

Requirements

What we're looking for:

Must Have:

  • 10+ years of experience in DevOps/SRE/Platform roles, including leading a team
  • Strong experience operating production systems on a major cloud provider (AWS/GCP/Azure). We are using GCP
  • Deep knowledge of modern infrastructure patterns: containers/Kubernetes, IaC (Terraform), CI/CD, observability, and incident management
  • Proven ability to set direction and execute hands-on, from design through production operations
  • Strong communication and prioritization skills, able to align stakeholders and make pragmatic trade-offs

Nice to Have:

  • Experience with high-throughput, real-time, or voice/communications workloads
  • Strong security engineering instincts (IAM, network segmentation, secrets, vulnerability management)
  • Experience building internal platform products (self-serve deployments, templates, developer portals)
  • FinOps experience (cost attribution, unit economics, capacity planning)

Benefits

What we offer

  • Hybrid work setup with minimum 3 days/week in our Paris office
  • High ownership and autonomy
  • Diverse, international team across Europe
  • Exposure to cutting-edge AI, voice, and enterprise deployments
  • Fast-paced environment with strong learning curve
  • 25 days holiday + public holidays
  • Private healthcare (based on country- but for France it's 50% coverage for you, and 100% Coverage for your kids
  • Swile (France only)
  • Pension contribution
  • ESOP/VSOP (shares)
