Our growth is driving us to strengthen our Core Services team to support the development and scalability of critical infrastructure products related to Identity & Access Management and internal API Gateway services.
Your mission will be to design, build, and optimize highly available and secure backend services in order to strengthen Scaleway’s cloud reliability, security, and performance at scale.
YOUR FUTURE TEAM
We work in a collaborative and international environment where the diversity of Scalers, combined with a spirit of sharing, helps bring new projects to life every day, advancing our ambitions together.
You will be part of a team of 4 people composed of an Engineering Manager, three Software Engineers (Tech Lead included), and a Product Manager working closely together on critical products for the Scaleway ecosystem. The team is responsible for the internal API Gateway and IAM services, two high-impact platforms requiring strong expertise in distributed systems, scalability, and security.
The API Gateway currently handles more than 15,000 requests per second, while IAM authenticates over 7,000 requests per second, making reliability, performance, and low latency critical challenges for the team.
