We’re Cortea, a Berlin startup transforming audits with AI. Manual, document-heavy audits waste expert time while demand keeps
rising. Our AI-powered software and specialized AI agents remove the repetitive work so auditors can focus on judgment.
Backed by top-tier VCs with >15m funding, with a working product and paying customers, we’re rapidly scaling.
We value first-principles thinking, speed, trust, and kindness. We build side by side in our Berlin office.
We are looking for an Engineer with strong data engineering and AI systems experience to build the data, evaluation, and
observability foundation for production-grade LLM agents used in complex audit workflows.
This role sits at the intersection of backend engineering, data engineering, AI infrastructure, and LLM operations. You will work
hands-on in our backend and agent architecture, building the systems that help us evaluate, monitor, debug, optimize, and
continuously improve AI agents in production.
This is not a traditional analytics, BI, or dashboarding role. You should expect to write production code, design infrastructure,
work inside backend systems, and directly improve the quality, cost, reliability, and performance of LLM-based agents.
You will help building and operating the technical infrastructure around our AI agents, with a focus on data infrastructure,
evaluation, observability, and optimization. Your work will include:
human review workflows, and experiment results.
production.
reliability gaps, and cost optimization opportunities.
debugging.
production data.
other engineers can extend.
are actively used in production.
reasoning tokens, or model selection.
No one checks every box. If you’ve shipped retrieval systems and like owning evaluations and pipelines, let’s talk.
We’re an equal-opportunity team and encourage women and underrepresented groups to apply.

WHY THIS ROLE As our Director of Site Reliability Engineering, reporting to our VP of Platform Engineering, you'll own the core infrastructure layers that everything at Doctolib runs on: cloud infrastructure, database operations, network infrastructure, and observability. You will also lead the Doctolib Operations Center (DOC) and drive a decisive shift from reactive operations to a proactive, world-class reliability culture. This is a rare opportunity to shape the infrastructure backbone of Europe's leading healthtech company, at a moment when Doctolib is actively expanding multi-cloud capabilities, scaling to new countries, and building the reliability culture that will define the next decade of healthcare innovation. Why this is an extraordinary challenge * Real stakes, every day. When Doctolib is down, consultations don't happen, diagnoses are delayed, care journeys are interrupted. The infrastructure you build is a direct lever on patient outcomes — in a world where 8 of the top 10 causes of death in Europe are preventable. * A once-in-a-generation platform transition. Multi-cloud, monolith modularisation, international expansion — all happening simultaneously. You won't inherit a finished platform. You'll define what it becomes. * Reliability as the competitive moat. As we scale AI health companions, automate clinical workflows, and launch across Europe, the speed and resilience of the platform directly determines how fast 700+ engineers can ship innovations that change healthcare. * A cultural build, not just a technical one. The incident response culture, observability standards, and operational ownership model you establish here will shape how Doctolib engineers work for years to come.

We are looking for an Engineering Manager to join Doctolib's Automation Platform (AUTOP) team, which empowers all Doctolib engineers to build, test, and deploy software with confidence and speed. As part of the Platform organization, Autop’s mission is to build and maintain the automation infrastructure and developer tools that enable our engineering teams to deliver high-quality software efficiently. Every feature shipped at Doctolib — from appointment booking to teleconsultation to AI-powered clinical tools — flows through AUTOP's automation infrastructure. We're the platform behind the platform. When product teams ship faster, safer, and with more confidence, it's because AUTOP built the rails they run on. AUTOP (Automation Platform) is responsible for critical developer-facing systems including: CI/CD automation, testing infrastructure (unit, integration, E2E, contract, visual regression), local and ephemeral development environments, release management, dependency management, and developer productivity tooling. WHAT YOU WILL DO As the Engineering Manager for AUTOP, your responsibilities include, but are not limited to: PEOPLE LEADERSHIP * Build and lead a high-performing team of 6 engineers who are passionate about developer productivity; * Create a culture where engineers own outcomes, not tasks — where platform adoption and developer satisfaction are the north stars; * Recruit, mentor, and retain top platform engineering talent in a competitive market; * Conduct impactful 1:1s, performance reviews, and career development conversations that help engineers reach their full potential. TECHNICAL STRATEGY & EXECUTION * Define and drive the technical vision for your team's domain (CI/CD, testing infrastructure, developer environments, or release automation); * Make high-impact technical decisions that balance short-term delivery with long-term sustainability and scale; * Set the bar for automation, quality, reliability, and security — your systems must be highly reliable because 800 engineers+ depending on them daily; * Champion a "Platform as a Product" mindset: treat internal developers as customers, measure adoption and satisfaction, iterate based on feedback; * Partner strategically with product teams, Infrastructure Platform, and Applicative Platform to solve cross-cutting challenges; * Drive measurable improvements in developer productivity metrics: build times, deployment frequency, test reliability, time-to-production… supporting Doctolib teams to monitor their metrics (DORA, performance, costs, etc). IMPACT & INFLUENCE * Be a visible technical leader across the organization — your team's work enables everyone else's success; * Influence engineering culture: establish best practices, contribute to technical strategy beyond your team; * Navigate ambiguity and lead through influence, not authority — platform adoption requires trust and advocacy, not mandates. About our tech environment * Our automation platform supports a hybrid architecture: a large Ruby on Rails monolith and an expanding ecosystem of modern microservices (Java, Kotlin, TypeScript) * We maintain sophisticated CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, testing frameworks across multiple languages, and infrastructure-as-code solutions * Our systems handle thousands of CI builds daily, manage comprehensive test suites across multiple languages, and manage deployments across multiple environments for 200+ development teams * Our stack includes: Ruby, Java, Kotlin, Go, TypeScript, Docker, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions, Terraform, and various testing frameworks * We intentionally leverage AI to improve developer productivity and reliability, in a sustainable manner .
