Rejoignez une équipe où vous influencerez des décisions technologiques sur deux continents.

Nous recherchons un(e) Technical Lead pour se positionner au carrefour de nos équipes de Paris et des Amériques (AMER) — en pilotant le développement d'applications Java tout en assurant le lien entre la stratégie technologique globale et les besoins métiers régionaux. Vous aurez une réelle influence sur l'architecture, encadrerez des ingénieurs, et verrez l'impact de vos décisions se déployer sur plusieurs régions.

Vos missions:

• Faire le lien: Être l'interface technique clé entre Paris et AMER, en alignant la stratégie globale avec les priorités régionales.
• Concevoir et diriger: Concevoir, développer et livrer des applications et services basés sur Java.
• Encadrer et accompagner: Assurer un leadership technique concret et un mentorat auprès des équipes de développement, en favorisant leur montée en compétences.
• Façonner l'architecture: Piloter les décisions clés en matière d'architecture applicative, de performance et de scalabilité.
• Traduire le métier en solutions techniques : Collaborer avec les parties prenantes, architectes et chefs de projet pour transformer les besoins métiers en solutions techniques efficaces.
• Coordonner les régions: Faciliter les activités de développement transrégionales et la communication entre les parties prenantes.
• Garantir la qualité: Superviser les revues de code, la stratégie de tests et le support en production pour assurer des logiciels sécurisés, robustes et maintenables.
• Porter l'amélioration continue: Promouvoir l'innovation, l'amélioration continue et les bonnes pratiques au sein de l'équipe.

Votre profil:

Indispensable:

• Solide expérience en développement Java.
• Expérience avec Spring Boot et le Spring Framework.

• Expérience dans l'encadrement d'équipes de développement et la prise de décisions techniques.
• Excellentes compétences en communication et en gestion des parties prenantes.
• Bilingue anglais/français — vous collaborerez régulièrement avec des collègues et partenaires basés aux États-Unis, un anglais professionnel (oral et écrit) est donc indispensable.

Atouts appréciés:

• Connaissances en support applicatif et support de production.
• Expérience au sein d'équipes globales ou transrégionales.
