Description du poste

The Opportunity

At Voyage Privé, we are entering a defining moment of transformation. As a leader in the travel industry, our ambition is not only to maintain operational excellence, but to redefine it, through a large-scale digital transformation grounded in technical excellence, world-class engineering practices, and pragmatic innovation.

As technical leaders, our objective is to evolve from legacy foundations toward a forward-compatible, high-performance architecture, designed with scalability, resilience, and velocity in mind, guided by the engineering rigor and pragmatic excellence demonstrated by world-class companies like Google, Stripe, GitLab, and Netflix.

To succeed, we’re building an elite group of engineers who will drive this transformation from within. The Staff Software Engineer role is at the heart of this effort, providing hands-on architectural leadership, raising engineering standards, mentoring engineers across squads, and shaping the long-term technical foundation of our company.

This is the right time to join, your decisions will define the engineering culture, velocity, and technical maturity of the entire organization.

Your Mission

• Architect the Future: Design distributed, stateless, and scalable systems that are resilient to failure and optimized for high performance and throughput
• Stay Hands-On: Actively contribute to the codebase, prototype, implement, and review critical features. Lead by example through high-quality, pragmatic, and scalable code
• Scale What Matters: Leverage asynchronous architectures and message-driven patterns using technologies like Kafka, RabbitMQ, SQS, or pub/sub to improve latency, responsiveness, and decoupling of services
• Ensure Consistency and Integrity: Define and implement patterns for data consistency (eventual or strong), message ordering, and reliable state transitions across services and storage layers
• Be a Multiplier: Mentor engineers across teams, level up engineering capabilities, and help embed a culture of technical excellence and ownership
• Raise the Bar: Promote best practices in testing, observability, continuous integration, and secure software development
• Transform at Scale: Actively reduce technical debt and drive modernization strategies that improve system agility, performance, and reliability
• Partner for Impact: Collaborate with Engineering Managers, Product, and Infrastructure to influence roadmaps and shape a pragmatic, scalable architecture vision

Qualifications

• Proven experience designing and delivering robust, distributed, and mission-critical systems in production
• Expertise in asynchronous processing and message-driven systems using technologies such as Kafka, SQS, RabbitMQ, or pub/sub
• Deep technical fluency in system design, performance tuning, concurrency, and consistency models
• Strong coding skills in one or more modern languages (e.g., Java, Go, Python, TypeScript)
• Familiarity with service-oriented and event-driven architectures, eventual consistency strategies, and data synchronization mechanisms
• Mastery of CI/CD, test automation strategies, and infrastructure-as-code tooling
• Hands-on experience with secure coding practices and awareness of compliance and resilience in regulated or complex environments
• Strong observability mindset: metrics, logs, traces, incident handling, and root cause analysis

Leadership Competencies

• Ability to lead technical direction across multiple teams without relying on positional authority
• High judgment in balancing engineering purity with speed, business outcomes, and risk
• Experience mentoring Senior Engineers and guiding architectural decisions at the org level
• Ability to navigate ambiguity, influence without ego, and coach others through technical complexity

Why Join Us Now

• You will be a foundational player in an ambitious transformation journey
• You’ll operate at the intersection of business and technology, helping the company scale both sustainably and intelligently
• You will shape not just code, but also culture, processes, and future leaders
• We offer the autonomy, vision, and leadership environment expected from modern product-driven, engineering-led companies

Our Commitment

• A high-trust, low-politics environment where you can lead bold initiatives with executive support
• A product and business strategy that values engineering as a core differentiator
• Transparent career development pathways, and opportunities to shape your own growth
• Competitive compensation and a mission-driven team ready to build the future of digital travel
