📋 Description

• At Joko, we’re entering a new stage of scale: over half a million active daily users, and zero-downtime expectations. As our Staff Platform Engineer, you’ll shape and lead our platform efforts. • Infrastructure: Make our production infrastructure more scalable and resilient (runtime reliability, capacity, failure modes), so we can grow fast without compromising stability. • Monitoring & alerting: Build best-in-class observability (metrics, logs, tracing, SLOs) and an alerting strategy that is actionable, low-noise, and improves incident response and on-call quality. • Cost & performance: Optimize our architecture to balance reliability, performance, and cloud costs—identify the biggest cost drivers, simplify where it matters, and turn infrastructure efficiency into a measurable business lever. • Developer experience: Treat our engineering workflows as a product—accelerate CI/CD, releases, environment management and automation, and create “golden paths” that make the right way the easiest way. • Security baseline: Raise the security bar across infrastructure (IAM, secrets, hardening, security monitoring) with pragmatic solutions that scale with the team and don’t add friction. • Technical leadership: Define the platform roadmap, align stakeholders, and lead cross-team initiatives end-to-end—bringing structure, standards, and mentorship so platform practices become shared, not heroic.

🎯 Requirements

• Production reliability & scale: Strong track record operating and evolving production systems (observability, incident response, scalability, reliability patterns) in environments with real traffic and high expectations. • DevOps & automation mindset: You consistently improve how engineers ship—CI/CD, releases, automation, tooling—and you care about fast feedback loops and day-to-day developer productivity. • Cost/performance tradeoffs: You're comfortable making pragmatic architectural decisions that balance reliability, latency, and cloud costs, with a clear focus on impact. • Security fundamentals: You have solid infrastructure security basics (permissions/IAM, secrets, least privilege, hardening). You don't need to be a full-time security specialist, but you know how to raise the baseline. • Cloud & modern infrastructure: Experience with AWS (we run a server-less setup) or equivalent; familiarity with IaC and modern deployment patterns is a strong plus. • Strong software engineering foundations: You're a strong engineer first (design quality, testing, maintainability) and you bring that rigor to platform work. • Product-minded: Strong sensitivity to user experience, performance metrics, and real-world usage at scale. • Problem solver: Comfortable working in complex, evolving codebases, with the patience and pragmatism to improve them incrementally. • Collaboration & influence: You communicate clearly, raise the bar through reviews and mentorship, and partner well with engineers and product stakeholders. • Languages: Fluent in English, both written and spoken. French is not required.

🏖️ Benefits

• Flexible remote *(only to specific fully remote positions)*: If you live in Paris, you can choose to work from our office or from home with no constraints. If you live elsewhere, we can provide access to a coworking space and a coworking budget. • Work from anywhere *(full-time only)*: Want to spend a month in Italy while working? Full-time employees can work from most countries in the world for up to 3 months per year. • 🇺🇸 After 4 years, spend one month in our New York office • 🌴 Yearly offsite in amazing locations and budget for team-building events & quarterly in-person gatherings • 💪 Contribution to your ClassPass subscription • 🍼 8-week paid parental leave • …and much more, check the full list here!
