Job summary

Pelico in Paris, France, is seeking a Senior DevOps / Site Reliability Engineer to architect the orchestration layer across our global SaaS infra, including air-gapped environments. You’ll ensure ease of installation, long-term operability, and scalable deployment strategies.

You will own deployment platforms, CI/CD, observability, and on-call operations, while enabling GovCloud, FedRAMP readiness and AI-assisted workflows to improve reliability and security for enterprise customers.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering, or Infrastructure Engineering roles in high-growth or production environments.
• Strong experience building and operating cloud and on-premise infrastructure using Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, Helm and Ansible.
• Deep understanding of CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code, observability and modern deployment practices.
• Solid software engineering background, ideally with Java, and an automation-first mindset.
• Comfortable participating in an on-call rotation, troubleshooting production incidents, and continuously improving platform reliability.
• Comfortable operating in ambiguity, you enjoy solving complex infrastructure challenges without waiting for perfect specifications.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to collaborate across Engineering, Product and customer IT teams.

• Improve platform reliability and observability. Build monitoring, diagnostics, self-remediation capabilities and operational runbooks that allow customer IT teams to operate Pelico independently.
• Participate in production operations. Join the team's on-call rotation, troubleshoot production incidents, and continuously improve platform reliability through operational excellence and automation.
• Elevate our DevOps platform. Standardize CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure practices and deployment workflows to improve engineering productivity, security and reliability across the company.

Job description

About Pelico

Traditional industrial manufacturing systems were built for predictability. Supply chains no longer are. Today, real-time data is buried in legacy tools that weren't designed for constant disruption. By the time an issue surfaces, it has already snowballed, sending everyone into firefighting mode. Pelico exists to close the gap between production plans and the daily reality on the factory floor.

Traditional industrial manufacturing systems were built for predictability. Supply chains no longer are. Today, real-time data is buried in legacy tools that weren't designed for constant disruption. By the time an issue surfaces, it has already snowballed, sending everyone into firefighting mode. Pelico exists to close the gap between production plans and the daily reality on the factory floor.

We've built the manufacturing orchestration platform trusted by the world's most complex industrial operations : companies like Airbus, Boeing, Safran, Eaton, and Cartier. Our AI connects fragmented supply chain, production, and quality data into a single live operational picture — then puts AI agents to work anticipating disruptions, simulating recovery options, and keeping every team aligned before small problems become expensive ones.

Founded in 2019 and backed by General Catalyst, 83North, and Serena, we've raised $72M and are growing fast — 300% year-over-year revenue growth, deployed in 15+ countries, and supporting factories worldwide. We're headquartered in Paris, with offices in Miami, London and Amsterdam, and we're just getting started.

This is a rare chance to join a company that's redefining an industry that hasn't been disrupted in decades — from the inside.

About The Role

In your capacity as a Senior DevOps / Site Reliability Engineer, you will be instrumental in architecting the orchestration layer that drives Pelico across all fronts, spanning our global SaaS infrastructure to the most restricted, air-gapped enterprise environments.

Your core mission is ensuring Pelico remains effortless to install, manage, and expand, irrespective of the underlying host. Operating at the crossroads of system architecture, product engineering, and field operations, you will tackle intricate technical hurdles and help define the future of AI-driven industrial infrastructure.

• Improve platform reliability and observability. Build monitoring, diagnostics, self-remediation capabilities and operational runbooks that allow customer IT teams to operate Pelico independently.
• Participate in production operations. Join the team's on-call rotation, troubleshoot production incidents, and continuously improve platform reliability through operational excellence and automation.
• Elevate our DevOps platform. Standardize CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure practices and deployment workflows to improve engineering productivity, security and reliability across the company.
• Support Pelico's enterprise and federal growth. Contribute to initiatives around GovCloud, FedRAMP readiness and deployments for highly regulated aerospace and defense customers.
• Drive AI-powered infrastructure engineering. Explore agentic engineering and AI-assisted workflows to automate infrastructure operations, deployment, diagnostics and security.
