DevOps AWS

Team: Tech

Location: Paris

Commitment: Permanent

Workplace Type: hybrid

About the role

Finalize the transition to a fully Terraform-managed infrastructure, reproducible, cleanly structured and well-organized
Lead the reflection on ECS vs Kubernetes: needs analysis, pros/cons, and decision on a potential migration
Security hardening: drive best practices and strengthen our overall security posture (ISO 27001 in progress)
Long-term goal: be able to deploy fully independent infrastructure on demand, notably to support our expansion to the US market
Improve developer experience: better CI, faster deployments, cleaner onboarding/offboarding processes
FinOps: rationalize cloud costs while keeping a high bar on quality and reliability

Stack

AWS: ECS Fargate today, potential move to Kubernetes (youll be part of that decision)
Database: Aurora PostgreSQL
Monitoring: Datadog
CI: GitHub Actions
IaC: Terraform with Atlantis
Backend: 2 monoliths — one in Elixir (new), one in Node.js / TypeScript / NestJS (legacy, to sunset within a year)


=> Were still iterating on some infra-related technical choices (ECS vs Kubernetes, Atlantis vs alternatives, etc.). Whoever joins will be a key voice in these discussions.
The goal is to pick the best technologies that serve our business needs.
