Job description

At Brevo, we’re not just building a CRM. With our technology, we’re helping millions of organizations build lasting relationships with their customers.

From emails and SMS to WhatsApp, Chat, and Marketing Automation, our tools are intuitive, powerful, and built to scale with every ambition. We give businesses a clear view of the customer journey, so they can focus on what matters: connection.

As a certified B Corp, we’re proud to grow with purpose, committed to high standards of social and environmental impact, not just performance.

Today, more than 500,000 businesses across 180 countries—from NGOs like Amnesty International to global brands like Carrefour, eBay, Louis Vuitton, and Michelin—trust Brevo to engage their audiences, cut through complexity, and deliver results. Our reliable technology and 75+ integrations help them create unparalleled customer experiences, without the usual tech headaches.

We recently exceeded 200m ARR and reached a major milestone by becoming a Unicorn, backed by strong growth and global expansion - and we’re just getting started!

As a Senior Platform Engineer at Brevo, you are a systems architect who treats infrastructure as software. Your goal is to build a resilient, self-service data platform that allows our engineering teams to ship faster without worrying about the underlying storage complexities. You will bridge the gap between deep Linux internals and high-level automation.

Your Impact at Brevo:

  • Own the delivery and lifecycle management of data-storage platforms, ensuring they meet product requirements for performance, reliability, security, and scale.
  • Bring a product mindset by balancing user needs, operational excellence, and long-term sustainability.
  • Architect, implement, and automate data-storage infrastructure (e.g., SQL, NoSQL, object, and file storage) using infrastructure-as-code and configuration-management tools such as Terraform and Ansible.
  • Drive platform reliability and resilience, including installation, configuration, parameter tuning, observability, and continuous performance optimisation for all supported data engines.
  • Develop, evolve, and enforce robust backup, disaster recovery, and business-continuity strategies, ensuring data durability and compliance with internal and external standards.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with product, engineering, and security teams to understand workload characteristics, define SLOs/SLAs, and deliver platform capabilities that accelerate product development.
  • Lead automation initiatives across storage-related CI/CD and operational workflows, reducing manual overhead, improving consistency, and increasing delivery velocity.
  • Work on production issues, perform deep root-cause analysis, and drive long-term fixes and systemic improvements across the platform.
  • Produce and maintain high-quality documentation of architectures, operational procedures, standards, and best practices to ensure platform transparency and reproducibility.
  • Who you are:

  • You have 6-9 years of relevant experience.
  • Strong expertise in Linux systems engineering and operating mission-critical services at scale.
  • Hands-on experience managing and tuning multiple classes of data engines, such as PostgreSQL, MongoDB, ClickHouse, ScyllaDB, MinIO, or equivalent SQL/NoSQL/object-storage technologies.
  • Deep understanding of backup, restore, replication, and disaster-recovery patterns, along with experience implementing them in distributed environments.
  • Skilled in building end-to-end automation using scripting languages and IaC tools (Ansible, Bash, and Terraform), with demonstrated expertise in architecting reusable, scalable, and maintainable automation frameworks for complex environments.
  • Excellent diagnostic and problem-solving skills, capable of navigating complex storage performance issues, distributed-system failures, and production incidents.
  • Experience on SRE key principles, Monitoring & Observability, SLO/SLA/SLI, Error budget, incident response, and postmortems.
  • A platform and product mindset - thinking in terms of self-service, reliability, APIs, user experience, and long-term platform evolution.
  • Why people love working at Brevo:

  • A place to grow, together: Join a diverse, international team in a modern office buzzing with energy and ideas.
  • Practical perks for everyday balance: Cab Facility and per-day meal vouchers; Employee-friendly salary structure; 1.4x pay on holidays/weekends for critical work; excellent referral program with high-value gift options (e.g., bike, flight tickets)
  • Learning, every step of the way: Over 1,55,000 courses on Udemy, along with facilitator-led sessions, and personalised training programs tailored to individual and team needs
  • Flexible for life: A hybrid setup (2 days WFH), budget for your home workspace, and a generous leave policy to help you balance life and work effortlessly
  • Wellbeing that works: INR 10 Lakh medical insurance, maternity support, childcare facilities, and wellness bonuses to keep you and your family covered
  • A culture that cares: Annual company off-sites, inter-office trips, team outings, active social, green, and LGBTQIA+ communities, along with festive celebrations - all making Brevo a vibrant and inclusive workplace.

  • Round 1 - Interview with the Deputy Platform Manager
  • Round 2 - Interview with the Platform Engineering Manager.
  • Round 3 - Interview with the VP of the Platform division.
  • Round 4 - Cultural Fitment Round with the Talent Acquisition team.
