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 ?
As our GPU Cloud infrastructure continues to scale, we are strengthening our SRE organization to support the deployment and operation of increasingly large and complex AI and HPC infrastructure.
Your mission will be to lead our Site Reliability Engineering team and ensure the reliability, scalability, and operational excellence of our GPU clusters.
This is not a traditional IT Operations management role. You will combine engineering leadership with strong technical ownership, working close to the infrastructure itself from Linux systems, networking and bare-metal server provisioning to hardware lifecycle, automation and cluster observability.
You will help the team automate critical infrastructure workflows, improve reliability and operate production-grade GPU platforms powering our sovereign cloud.
YOUR FUTURE TEAM
We work in a collaborative and international environment where the diversity of Scalers, combined with a strong culture of knowledge sharing, helps us bring ambitious projects to life.
You will lead a team of 6 Site Reliability Engineers within the GPU Cloud organization.
The team works on some of our most critical AI and HPC infrastructure challenges, including bare-metal provisioning, GPU cluster automation, server lifecycle management, hardware failure management, observability, reliability and the integration of new GPU technologies.
The scope goes beyond traditional cloud-native infrastructure: the team operates close to the physical servers and needs to automate the full lifecycle of large fleets of GPU machines, from remote provisioning to production operations and remediation.
You will collaborate closely with GPU Cloud Engineering, Hardware, Product and Operations teams, as well as other infrastructure teams across Scaleway.
