Software Engineer - Kubernetes Specialist

🇪🇺 Join Scaleway and shape the sovereign cloud of tomorrow!

Since 1999, we have been designing secure, sustainable infrastructures aimed at supporting the most ambitious companies.

Historically known for our dedicated servers (Dedibox), we made a strategic shift to cloud computing in 2015. Staying true to our principles of simplicity, flexibility, and technical excellence, we have become one of the leading players in Europe in the sector.

With the rise of artificial intelligence, we have strengthened our commitment, supported by the Iliad Group, which is currently investing €3 billion to develop a serious, sovereign AI alternative to American and Asian giants.

Every day, thanks to our fast-growing portfolio of cloud and AI products (bare metal, containerization, serverless, AI, etc.), Scaleway proudly serves thousands of customer across the private and public sector, from corporations like France Télévisions or Hachette Livre, to fast-growing startups like Photoroom and Biolevate, to institutions like the City of Copenhagen.

📍Our offices are located in Paris, Lille, Toulouse, Rennes, Rouen, Bordeaux, and Lyon.

Our growth is driving us to strengthen our Non-Relational Database team as a Software Engineer to replace a departing member and maintain our momentum on scaling our high-demand products.
