✨ 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 fast-growing portfolio of cloud and AI products (bare metal, containerization, serverless, AI, etc.), Scaleway proudly serves thousands of customers across the private and public sector, from corporations like France Télévisions or Hachette Livre, to fast-growing startups like Photoroom and Biolevate, to institutions like the City of Copenhagen.

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


💡 WHY WE NEED YOU? 💡

Our growth is driving us to strengthen our SRE (Site Reliability Engineering) team to bolster technical leadership across our infrastructure.
Your mission will be to provide technical leadership for the entire SRE community at Scaleway in order to ensure the reliability, performance, and scalability of our sovereign cloud platform.


🤝 YOUR FUTURE TEAM 🤝

We work in a collaborative and international environment where the diversity of Scalers, combined with a spirit of sharing, helps bring new projects to life every day, advancing our ambitions together.
You will work closely with 8 Lead SREs and providing guidance to a community of 40 to 60 SREs. This role covers the entirety of our Public Cloud platform (Elements).
