OUR CLOUD PLATFORM TEAM IS SEEKING FOR THEIR NEW Engineering Manager - Developer Experience, BASED IN LILLE or PARIS.

The CPE is transversal to all Decathlon areas and countries. It is made up of teams focused on the Developer Experience, the provision of technical infrastructure solutions to accelerate the development and stability/scalability of our applications, Networks, Observability, FinOps.

Its main objectives are to rationalize the catalog of technical products referenced within the group AND to provide “turnkey” services for the application teams, who will thus be able to concentrate on the development of value-added features. Providing a simplified offer will allow a stronger focus to deepen the use of these. Our target is also to create a common base of expertise in order to facilitate movements and interactions between teams.

Today, the CPE is a Business Unit of nearly 180 people who continue to strengthen and work hand in hand with the teams in each area.
