Your Team

To prepare for the company’s upcoming acceleration, a new team named “Platform & Services” is created to support our needs for transformation. This team will provide Engineering services (such as Hardware, VM, Database, LB, Queuing, Orchestrator, etc) to all product teams in order to help them focus on their true mission, i.e. bringing value to their products and to our customers.

As efficient startups use now PaaS solutions to create their products, our product teams will use our internal platform to build high-end products as well.

The Platform team is organized into “Engineering Verticals”, each vertical delivering one or more infrastructure products in a specific field of Software Engineering. This team is also responsible for securing and guaranteeing the day-to-day execution of these services and keeping them up & running.

Our team culture is all about

- Being absolute experts in each of the Engineering verticals

- Bringing amazing services & infrastructure products to our technical teams

- Sharing our best practices & knowledge

- Acting as a “true companion” for our technical teams when building new product infrastructures

- Feeling responsible for the day-to-day execution of our platform

- Working as a team - we all share the same objective of serving our customers which are, in our case, our colleagues.

About the job

This Position can be based in Paris, Lille or Remote

As the Vertical Storage & Database Engineering Manager, your main mission will be to design, implement, maintain and follow the run of our internal Storage & Database team in a highly technical environment. You will be the relevant technical architect for your specific vertical within the company. In addition, you will directly manage a group of engineers and help them to coordinate and enhance their work and workflows. One of your key responsibilities will be to avoid over-engineering, and always find a pragmatic approach when a technical problem rises.

Your key mission will be to implement, maintain and guarantee the execution of all our managed “on the shelf” products, and make sure that our technical teams can use them as they consume many types of resources for PaaS solutions.

This position focused especially on our Databases solution (MySQL/PostgreSQL) and all our internal storage services (block/object).

A strong knowledge in Database management, deployment and maintenance is highly required. In addition, knowledge in Storage technologies (block and Object) is needed.

You will make sure that they respond to our internal needs and continue to improve them.

As a manager, you will take care of your team. You will be in charge of administration tasks like planning and holidays, but not only. An important part of the position is to individually improve the skills and knowledge of your team by getting to know each team member very well (strength, limitation and wishes). You will work with them in order to find the most efficient way of working as a team. You will also be responsible for monitoring and optimizing the velocity and delivery capacity of your team.

You will be responsible for communicating and promoting your product within the company. To make sure that your product adoption is complete within our technical team, you will manage (via a dotted line) an Engineer based in one of our Product teams. He/she will be your “Padawan”.

You will also be part of the Engineering Guild at Scaleway.
