**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

- 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 mind
