As part of the Platform organization, you will lead a team of 6 engineers owning critical developer-facing systems - CI/CD, testing infrastructure, development environments and release automation - that every feature shipped at Doctolib flows through.

Responsibilities

  • Build and lead a high-performing team of 6 engineers passionate about developer productivity

  • Define and drive the technical vision for the team's domain (CI/CD, testing infrastructure, developer environments or release automation)
  • Make high-impact technical decisions balancing short-term delivery with long-term scale and sustainability
  • Champion a 'Platform as a Product' mindset, measuring adoption and developer satisfaction and iterating on feedback
  • Drive measurable improvements in developer productivity metrics (build times, deployment frequency, test reliability, DORA)

  • Strong technical foundation in CI/CD automation, testing infrastructure and developer tooling
  • Ability to set a high bar for automation, quality, reliability and security for systems 800+ engineers depend on daily
  • Experience working with a hybrid architecture: a large Ruby on Rails monolith plus modern microservices (Java, Kotlin, TypeScript)
  • Familiarity with the stack: Ruby, Java, Kotlin, Go, TypeScript, Docker, Kubernetes and GitHub Actions
  • Ability to navigate ambiguity and lead through influence rather than authority
