Doctolib

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.

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.
