Job summary

Pasqal in Palaiseau is seeking a Senior Cloud Infrastructure Engineer to own and operate a GCP-based platform, with emphasis on resilient multi-region design, IAM governance, and secure CI/CD practices.

You will enable production readiness, implement automation, and strengthen monitoring while collaborating with English-speaking teams on architectural decisions and runbooks.

Qualifications

• Cloud architecture experience designing public cloud platforms, ideally on GCP.
• Platform evolution: audit existing systems, prioritise improvements and deliver changes incrementally.
• Hands-on production experience with Kubernetes, Terraform, Ansible, Linux and cloud networking.
• Hands-on GitOps and CI/CD, including GitLab administration (GitHub also welcome).
• Security-first mindset: IAM, least privilege, secrets management, encryption and vulnerability management.
• Production ownership: participate in on-call rotations with confidence.
• Professional English: collaborate and document effectively in English.
• Clear communication: explain architectural choices and trade-offs to technical and non-technical teams.

Responsibilities

• Improve and operate Pasqal platform with GCP: networking, IAM, multi-region, resilience and cost control.
• Define and document governance rules, infrastructure standards, and golden paths; drive adoption by teams.
• Support deployment automation, environment provisioning and production readiness; enable teams, not queue tickets.
• Strengthen monitoring, alerting and incident response; participate in on-call and durable fixes.
• Operate, configure and secure infrastructure-related GitLab: CI/CD design, runners, secrets handling, hardening.
• Propose improvement plans, then sequence migrations, refactors and hardening without production disruption.

Job description

Senior Cloud Infrastructure Engineer (h/f/x) at Pasqal, Palaiseau, Europe, FR. A senior-level full time position in the Engineering team, listed under software engineering.

Job description

• Improve and operate our platform with GCP: networking (VPC, load balancing, DNS, firewall policies, WAF), identity (IAM, OIDC, workload identity), multi-region and multi-tenant concerns, resilience and cost control.
• Define and document governance rules, infrastructure standards and golden paths (versioned modules, review rules, guardrails), and get them adopted by the teams that use them.
• Support software engineering teams on deployment automation, environment provisioning and production readiness — you are an enabler, not a ticket queue.
• Strengthen monitoring, alerting and incident response; take part in on-call and turn incidents into durable fixes.
• Operate, configure and secure infrastructure related GitLab configuration : CI/CD design, runners, permissions, secrets handling, supply-chain and instance hardening.
• Propose improvement plans, then break them down and sequence their execution (migrations, refactors, hardening) without disrupting production.

Must-have

• Cloud architecture : Proven experience designing public cloud platforms, ideally on GCP. Strong AWS expertise welcome with a willingness to ramp up on GCP.
• Platform evolution : Ability to audit existing systems, prioritize improvements and deliver changes incrementally.
• Infrastructure : Hands‑on production experience with Kubernetes, Terraform, Ansible, Linux and cloud networking.
• DevOps & CI/CD : Hands‑on GitOps and CI/CD expertise, including progressive rollouts and GitLab administration (GitHub also welcome).
• Security‑first mindset : Solid knowledge of IAM, least privilege, secrets management, encryption and vulnerability management.
• Production ownership : Ability to participate confidently in on-call rotations.
• Professional English : Ability to collaborate and document effectively in English.
• Clear communication: Explain architectural choices and trade-offs to technical and non-technical teams, and document decisions, runbooks and standards.

Nice to Have

• Service mesh (Istio), external-dns, Grafana/LGTM observability stack, Cloud Armor.
• Experience with regulated or audited environments (SOC2, ISO 27001, NCA CCC/ECC).
• Multi-region or sovereign‑cloud deployments.
• Exposure to HPC and SLURM scheduling.
• Kubernetes certifications (CKA, CKS).
• Experience with data engineering architectures.

Benefits

• Working on a deep tech product mixing hardware and software
• Dedicated budget and time for conferences
• Offices in Paris and Massy
