Senior Platform Engineer – Cloud, Developer Experience

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in France.

📋 Description

• Take charge of the cloud foundation. Design, construct, and manage our AWS architecture along with the Terraform/IaC that defines it — including accounts, networking, identity, and core services — ensuring it is reproducible, reviewed, and version-controlled infrastructure.

• Develop the self-service platform. Establish the golden paths and internal developer-platform tools that enable engineers and researchers to provision, deploy, and ship with minimal friction and sensible guardrails.

• Oversee CI/CD and the deployment framework. Create and maintain the pipelines and deployment substrate — including the processes that ensure our models and SDK are reliably deployed in cloud and on-prem/customer environments.

• Integrate security and networking into the platform. Ensure that security and a robust network are inherent to the paved road, not merely a checklist: implement IaC for access management and control, secrets management, least-privilege defaults, network segmentation, and private connectivity — making the right choice the easy choice.

• Establish the standards. Create, influence, and assess the architecture, standards, and processes that the platform team adheres to; determine, with a product-oriented perspective, what should transition to platform status versus what remains an experiment.

• Enhance observability and cost-awareness. Develop the metrics, alerting, and cost visibility necessary to maintain the platform’s reliability and economic efficiency as it scales.

• Support research at scale. Apply platform expertise to research workflows and facilitate self-service capabilities — promoting scale without managing research infrastructure execution.

⛳️ Requirements

• Expertise in AWS — practical experience in designing and operating cloud infrastructure for real workloads.

• Proficiency in Infrastructure-as-Code — experience with Terraform in production (knowledge of configuration-as-code tools like Ansible is a plus); you treat infrastructure as reviewed, reproducible software.

• Strong understanding of Kubernetes and containers — hands-on experience with container orchestration and its associated components.

• Excellent CI/CD and developer-experience skills — experience with GitHub Actions, ArgoCD/Flux, or equivalent; you've developed pipelines and internal tools that other engineers rely on.

• Security engineering expertise — you implement access control, secrets management, and least-privilege in code, while considering the security posture of your creations.

• Strong networking skills — hands-on experience with cloud and hybrid networking (VPC design, segmentation, private connectivity, DNS, load balancing, ingress/egress control).

• A platform-as-a-product mindset — you can discern what should be a productized paved road versus a script, establish opinionated defaults, and empower teams instead of restricting them.

• Solid software engineering skills — proficiency in Python, Go, or a similar language, along with sound engineering practices.

🏝️ Benefits

• Competitive salary and meaningful equity

• Flexible/remote-friendly working

• Significant room for growth at the intersection of AI and biology
