OUR STORY:

🇪🇺 Join Scaleway and shape the sovereign cloud of tomorrow !

Since 1999, we have been designing secure, sustainable infrastructures aimed at supporting the most ambitious companies.

Historically known for our dedicated servers (Dedibox), we made a strategic shift to cloud computing in 2015. Staying true to our principles of simplicity, flexibility, and technical excellence, we have become one of the leading players in Europe in the sector.

With the rise of artificial intelligence, we have strengthened our commitment, supported by the Iliad Group, which is investing €3 billion to develop a serious, sovereign AI alternative to American and Asian giants.

Every day, thanks to our rich catalog of products and services (bare metal, containerization, serverless, AI, etc.), Scaleway proudly serves 38,000 private and public sector clients, from Photoroom to Mistral AI, Golem AI, and ADEME.

📍 Our offices are located in Paris, Lille, Toulouse, Bordeaux, Rouen, Rennes and Lyon.

WHY WE NEED YOU

Our growth is driving us to strengthen our Product Documentation team to support the transition following the departure of key leads and ensure continuity and quality across all product documentation.
