Senior SRE Engineer

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Senior SRE Engineer based in France.

This is a high-impact SRE role focused on building reliable, scalable infrastructure for an international gaming platform.
You’ll help shape DevOps and SRE practices while contributing to technical strategy and a strong engineering culture.
The role combines hands-on infrastructure engineering with observability, automation, cloud architecture, and incident management.
You’ll work closely with development teams to improve reliability, scalability, deployment processes, and CI/CD practices.
As a senior engineer, you’ll also mentor teammates and promote Kubernetes-native approaches across the engineering organization.
The environment values autonomy, proactive problem-solving, continuous improvement, and practical automation over bureaucracy.
It’s an opportunity to take meaningful ownership of reliability engineering while working with modern cloud-native technologies.

Accountabilities

• Build and evolve DevOps and SRE practices, helping establish scalable approaches to reliability, infrastructure management, and operational excellence.

• Contribute to the team’s technical strategy and engineering culture, promoting robust, maintainable, and automation-first practices.
