• Have 3+ years of engineering management experience, leading technical teams (ideally SRE, platform, or infrastructure teams)
• Have a strong understanding of observability tooling and architecture (e.g. OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Datadog, Elasticsearch)
• Have experience with infrastructure as code (Terraform) and secrets management systems
• Have a proven ability to balance technical depth with people leadership, able to mentor engineers, review technical designs, and guide architectural decisions
• Are fluent in English

It would be fantastic if you:

• Have experience scaling SRE or platform teams in fast-growing, high-traffic environments
• Have hands-on experience with backend programming languages (e.g. Go, Python, Ruby)
• Have experience driving cultural and technical transformations
• Appreciate working in regulated environments (healthcare, fintech, or similar); at Doctolib, data privacy and compliance are part of every engineering decision
