## Description

**About the Role**

We’re looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to define and execute our infrastructure vision while staying hands-on day to day. You’ll be 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.
-   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:**

-   7+ 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
