We are building the platform that hosts Qwant.com. Our team is looking for SRE Engineers to build the infrastructure, operate our services and improve computation resources consumption. Convinced by the fact containers are the way to go (run and deploy different technologies the same way), we chose Kubernetes as our next generation orchestrator. We operate our own services and clusters on premises in France (400+ servers) with cloud-enabled failover.
