Engineering Manager, Infrastructure & SRE — Paris
Paris, France · Permanent · On-site
Lead the team that keeps a high-traffic, real-time platform up when hundreds of thousands of users connect at the same moment, and decide where the infrastructure goes next.
What you'd actually work on
- Managing and growing the infrastructure and SRE team, making sure its work stays aligned with the priorities set by technical leadership
- Hiring actively, from defining profiles to onboarding new engineers, including taking part in sourcing events when needed
- Building the team's skills over time so that expertise doesn't sit with one or two people
- Driving the evolution of the cloud environments, balancing performance, data protection and cost in every decision
- Setting technical priorities across teams that all need something from infrastructure, and explaining those tradeoffs clearly
- Contributing to the medium and long-term technology roadmap, including choices on tools, security practices and scaling strategy
- Structuring reliability work across the whole engineering organization, not only inside your own team
Where it gets technically interesting
- A proprietary real-time transaction engine that has to handle massive data flows instantly, with strict integrity and control requirements
- Traffic that comes in sharp peaks during major live events, where availability is expected to be permanent and slowdowns are visible to users right away
- A distributed, modular architecture built to scale, where every change to infrastructure must keep the platform resilient under load
- A broad stack to own: containers, virtualization, serverless services, relational and NoSQL databases, high-performance caching and API gateways
- Infrastructure as code, CI/CD pipelines and observability tooling that you can push further, with a strong focus on automation and better visibility across systems
What we're looking for
- Engineering degree or master's level in computer science, with a solid track record designing and optimizing complex cloud architectures on critical, high-volume systems
- At least 4 years managing technical teams, and more than 5 years of experience overall
- Proven technical leadership: you have structured how a team works and brought people together around shared goals
- Strong hands-on expertise in infrastructure as code and full comfort in Unix/Linux environments
- A pragmatic approach, favoring durable, simple solutions that work in production over trendy ones
- A management style built on trust and coaching, with the wish to build solid foundations and share your knowledge in a growing company
- Fluent French (native or bilingual)
