Our Engineering Team
Our Engineering team excels at solving cutting-edge technical challenges with elegant solutions. Software Engineers in the Engineering team work hand-in-hand with the Product team, from exploration, design, and roadmap prioritization to implementation, and deployment in production.
The Role
As our Platform Engineer, you’ll shape and lead our platform efforts. You’ll be the first senior engineer focused on these topics, building on work currently spread across the team and turning it into a clear, reliable, high-leverage platform that helps everyone ship faster and safer.
- Infrastructure & reliability: Own our production infrastructure end-to-end: resilience, capacity, and cost.
- Observability & incident response: Build the visibility layer that lets us catch problems before users do. Centralize logs and alerts, define what "healthy" looks like, and design a sustainable on-call experience.
- Security & access control: Raise the security bar in a way that scales with the team, from access management and secrets handling to compliance work and release hardening.
- Developer experience & release quality: Treat engineering workflows as a product. Improve how we build, test, and release.
- AI-powered internal tooling: Help shape how we use AI internally: automation, agents, and tooling that multiply the execution capacity of every team.
- Technical leadership: Define the platform roadmap, align stakeholders, and lead cross-team initiatives end-to-end.
What we offer
- Flexible remote: If you live in Paris, you can choose to work from our office or from home. If you live elsewhere, we provide access to a coworking space and a coworking budget.
- Work from anywhere: Work from most countries in the world for up to 3 months per year.
- Compensation: Top-market compensation (€76.3K – €174.6K).
- Equity: Equity for everyone with the chance to own a piece of what you build.
- AI Development: Half-day each week dedicated to leveling up with AI by exploring new tools and sharpening your skills.
- Team Culture: Yearly offsite in amazing locations, budget for team-building events, and monthly in-person gatherings.
- Well-being: Contribution to your ClassPass subscription.
- Parental Leave: 8-week leave paid 100% for the second parent.
- Full list of benefits
Requirements
- Experience: 5+ years of software engineering experience, with significant time spent on platform, infrastructure, or reliability at scale. You've operated at a senior or staff level.
- Production reliability & scale: Strong track record operating and evolving production systems (observability, incident response, scalability, reliability patterns).
- DevOps & automation mindset: You consistently improve how engineers ship—CI/CD, releases, automation, tooling.
- Strong software engineering foundations: You write clean, testable, maintainable code and bring that rigor to platform work.
- Cost/performance tradeoffs: Comfortable making pragmatic architectural decisions that balance reliability, latency, and cloud costs.
- Security fundamentals: Solid infrastructure security basics (permissions/IAM, secrets, least privilege, hardening).
- Cloud & modern infrastructure: Experience with AWS (we run a server-less setup) or equivalent; familiarity with IaC and modern deployment patterns is a strong plus.
- Product-minded: Strong sensitivity to user experience, performance metrics, and real-world usage at scale.
- Problem solver: Comfortable working in complex, evolving codebases.
- Collaboration & influence: You communicate clearly, raise the bar through reviews and mentorship, and partner well with engineers and product stakeholders.
- Languages: Fluent in English, both written and spoken.
