About the Role

We are looking for a skilled Platform Engineer to join our dynamic team. In this role, you will be instrumental in refining our delivery pipelines, ensuring our platform remains reliable and scalable for our customers, and enhancing the overall developer experience.

You will work closely with our Lead Platform Engineer, contributing to strategic initiatives and driving operational excellence.

Your Missions

• Innovate and simplify
  Collaborate across various teams to understand business needs and ensure that release processes are fully automated and touch-less. Focus on delivering a high-quality platform while enhancing the developer experience and maintaining a customer-centric approach.

• Make informed decisions
  Use strong judgment and good instincts to make decisions that benefit the platform and its users. Back your suggestions with data and trade-offs and reach consensus with hard facts rather than persuasion.

• Stay curious
  Keep up with new technologies, imagine how we could leverage them, and be aware of critical security issues and one-way-door decisions.

• Uphold excellence
  As an individual contributor, strive for the highest quality in all your work. Continuously raise the bar, ensuring that every product, service, and process meets rigorous standards. Address issues at their root to prevent recurrence and maintain a culture of excellence.

• Embrace bold vision
  Think beyond the immediate tasks and envision innovative solutions that can drive significant impact. Look around corners for opportunities to serve our customers better and inspire others with your forward-thinking approach.

• Act quickly
  As part of the on-call rotation, process internal customer requests, determine incident root causes, and identify improvements to drive operational excellence forward.

• Build trust
  Foster trust with stakeholders through transparent and effective communication.

• Develop talent
  Work with talented individuals and help them grow within the organisation.

Current focus

• Empower operational excellence through observability

  Enhance our observability stack by reforging the metric-level definitions and alarming-level aggregation. We are currently undertaking a comprehensive initiative to integrate OpenTelemetry, Prometheus and ElasticSearch, aiming to establish a robust and scalable observability framework

• Drive architectural transformation

  Assist development teams in moving a core component, which underwent a lift-and-shift last year, from Windows/.NET/.NET Core to Linux/.NET Core/NodeJS. Facilitate the transition from a monolithic architecture to cloud-native micro-services, driving significant improvements in scalability and performance.

• Advance cloud migration

  Contribute to the post-migration efforts to public cloud environments using tools such as Terraform and Ansible. Ensure the infrastructure is robust, scalable, and aligned with best practices to support our strategic goals.

• Standardise container management

  Develop a consistent approach for building, deploying, and managing containers. Ensure uniform practices across ECS/Fargate on AWS and its Azure equivalent. Kubernetes skills are highly desirable.

What We're Looking For

• Effective Communication
  Have strong communication skills to collaborate in a fast-paced company. You're great at troubleshooting and quick to learn new tools to solve technical problems.

• Cloud Experience
  Have 2+ years of experience building pipelines (GitLab) and/or monitoring production environments in the cloud. Comfortable with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and development practices.

• Technical Expertise
  Have experience with Windows/IIS/SQLServer or Linux environments, and you're skilled in Docker, Terraform, and Ansible. Solid understanding of network protocols, system architecture, and security practices, including cloud networking.

• Language Proficiency
  Fluent in English. While fluency in French is not required, it may be beneficial as the work environment is partly French-speaking. Other teams may speak French, but our team primarily communicates in English. Training can be provided if needed.
