About the role
We are a fast-moving scale-up building a production-ready quantum computer and we need an experienced Site Reliability Engineer to own the reliability, automation, and security of our GCP platform and to set the bar for how we run production as we grow.
You will spend most of your time building and operating systems, mentor more junior engineers, and shape the practices the team uses. If you value ownership, move quickly without breaking things, and turn manual toil into automation, you will fit in well.
Responsibilities
- Own the reliability of production systems on GCP: define SLOs/SLIs, drive down incidents, and lead blameless postmortems.
- Build the observability stack (Prometheus, Grafana, and related tooling) to detect problems before customers are affected.
- Design and maintain infrastructure as code with Terraform; avoid click-ops.
- Operate and scale Kubernetes / GKE workloads.
- Build and harden CI/CD pipelines to enable safe and frequent shipping.
- Automate manual work; if it’s done twice by hand, it should be automated.
- Integrate security into the platform: IAM, secrets management, network policy, and least-privilege by default.
- Help meet compliance requirements as the platform matures and make secure paths easy for engineers.
- Own cloud cost visibility and efficiency: right-sizing, capacity planning, and scaling strategy as the company grows.
Requirements
- 5+ years in infrastructure, SRE, DevOps, or platform engineering, including production ownership of cloud systems.
- Strong hands-on experience with GCP.
- Deep experience with Terraform.
- Production experience running Kubernetes / GKE.
- Proven track record building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines.
- Solid grasp of observability practices and tooling (Prometheus, Grafana, etc.).
- A bias toward automation and a security-conscious mindset.
- Strong communication skills to mentor others and influence how the team works.
Nice to have
- Experience scaling infrastructure in a startup or high-growth environment.
- Scripting/programming beyond config (Go, Python, etc.).
- Service mesh, GitOps (e.g., ArgoCD/ Flux), or progressive delivery experience.
Benefits
- Equity plan (BSPCE) aligned with company success.
- Significant bonuses for driving core patents that define our quantum architecture.
- Flexible remote policy, up to 40% remote work per month.
- Parental plan with additional benefits for caring for children under 12.
- Subsidized membership with Urban Sports Club.
- Mental health support with moka.care.
- 25-day vacation policy (as per French law) plus RTT.
- Partial transportation cost coverage or yearly bicycle allowance.
- Competitive health coverage with Alan.
- Meal vouchers with Swile and access to a well-stocked kitchen.
- French language courses covered by the company.
