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 customer 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 Database & Data Platform team to increase our capacity to deliver new features and improve the reliability and robustness of our managed databases service.

Your mission: Own and evolve both the internal and public‑facing managed‑database platform, driving scalability, security and long‑term performance while shaping the next generation of our cloud database offer.

YOUR FUTURE TEAM

We work in a collaborative environment where knowledge sharing and mutual support are key to driving our ambitions forward.

You’ll join a tight‑knit team of six, distributed across our French sites: three developers, one DBA, one product manager, and one engineering manager. In this role you’ll write production‑grade code and build and maintain the infrastructure that runs it—from Python & Go‑based APIs to Ansible playbooks, CI/CD pipelines, observability stacks.

The team owns both an internal database platform that powers other Scaleway products and the public‑facing managed‑database service.

YOUR DAILY ROUTINE

Design, implement, and ship new features for the managed‑database service while continuously improving the existing codebase.
Maintain and evolve internal database platforms (new deployments, automated upgrades, performance optimizations, …).
Contribute to design reviews and propose improvements to internal architecture and tooling.
Improve the technical stack used for database management and automation.
Work with tools like Terraform, Ansible and Docker to support infrastructure and automation.
Collaborate with other developers and DBAs to guide database usage and best practices.
Diagnose and resolve incidents and bugs affecting databases
Participate in a second‑level on‑call rotation (approximately 1 week / month), stepping in when first‑level alerts need deeper investigation and ensuring rapid restoration of our managed‑database services
Resolve critical production issues, working closely with our SRE team to restore service and implement long‑term fixes.

ABOUT YOU

HARD SKILLS:

Strong Development experience in Python or Go

We are also looking for engineers who understand the product and the customer's needs in detail and can suggest innovative ideas: in the end, it's all about delivering value to end-users. In any case, you have: Experience as a software engineer & DevOps / SRE Experience with a container orchestration platform (Kubernetes is a plus) Experience with a public cloud provider, GCP is a plus Proven experience in software developments with languages such as C#, Java, C++, Golang, Rust, JavaScript, Python, or Ruby (this list is not exhaustive). Experience with observability tools (e.g. Datadog, Prometheus, ELK, Jaeger...) Great team spirit with a problem-solving attitude.
