Platform Engineer (x/f/m) - Tech Foundations

Scope of the Role

• Tech Foundations – enables product crews and creates the environment to thrive, combining world‑class infrastructure, intuitive developer experience, exquisite operational excellence, and built‑in security to make shipping exceptional products effortless.
• Infra – operates and evolves the foundations Alan runs on (multi‑cloud infrastructure, data platforms, observability, and the operational practices around them) so that product crews ship safely and quickly, members never feel the platform underneath, and the business can expand to new countries without re‑inventing how we run.

Scope and Focus for 2026

• Cloud foundations & multi‑cloud architecture: own and evolve Alan’s cloud footprint, Infrastructure‑as‑Code stack (Terraform, Terramate), and the architectural decisions enabling international expansion.
• Data & application platforms: operate and evolve the foundations product crews build on – PostgreSQL/Aurora, events pipeline, async workloads, and database migration tooling – without leaking complexity into product code.
• Reliability, observability & on‑call: own Alan's platform uptime and latency SLOs end‑to‑end, evolve our observability stack (Datadog), incident response process, and shared on‑call rotation across the area.
• Governance & compliance enablement and FinOps: own cross‑cutting concerns – infrastructure cost (FinOps), IAM posture, backup and disaster recovery, exit strategy – with automation and reporting that scales beyond the crew.
• AI‑augmented infrastructure operations: make AI assistants a first‑class citizen for incident investigation, runbook execution, and toil reduction so engineers spend their time on high‑leverage work.

Experience & Qualifications

• 3+ years in Platform engineering, DevOps, Site reliability engineering or equivalent roles.
• Strong experience with cloud platforms (especially AWS or GCP).
• Comfortable writing code for automation and tooling (e.g. API, internal command line, developer portal) and willing to work in Python/Typescript.
• Experience with observability, monitoring, alerting or incident management tools and practices.
• Ability to design and implement robust infrastructure systems with a focus on reliability and observability.
• Capability to maintain uptime targets while optimizing infrastructure costs.
• Experience building and maintaining internal or external tooling (e.g. API, web interface, internal command line, configuration as code) for other engineers.

Mindset & Values

• Treat infrastructure and platform engineering as product work: engineering and member are the customers, and infrastructure should feel effortless.
• Hands‑on – write code (Python, TypeScript, Terraform), ship to production, then operate it (rollouts, alerting, on‑call, incident response).
• Enabler – measure impact by how fast product crews ship features without repeatedly consulting you.
• Create reusable patterns: guardrails, libraries, and reliable‑by‑default abstractions that prevent outages and runaway cost at scale.
• Fluent in English (French not required).

Working Conditions

• Location : Must be legally eligible to work in France, Belgium, or Spain.
• Remote work : Remote flexibility offered, with in‑person collaboration valued.
