Position based in Paris or Bordeaux — not open for a full remote position. As a Senior Expert Platform Engineer in the DevXP team, you will shape Deezer's Internal Developer Platform (IDP), driving platform strategy, architecture, and execution to help engineers ship faster, safer, and with higher quality. You will set engineering standards with senior engineers from across the company, mentor peers, and bridge platform engineering with AI and cybersecurity.

Platform Engineering

Architect and evolve the IDP, CI/CD pipelines, and automation frameworks
Own the long-term technical vision, define platform standards (IaC, GitOps), and select best-in-class tooling across build, deployment, monitoring, and security

Developer Experience

Proactively identify and eliminate friction across the software lifecycle
Track DX metrics (DORA, SPACE) and use data to prioritize platform investments
Be the internal advocate for developers

AI-Augmented Platform

Integrate AI capabilities into the platform (intelligent code review, anomaly detection, smart test generation)
Evaluate and operationalize AI tools (GitHub Copilot, LLM-based assistants) and explore agentic automation to reduce developer toil

Security & Compliance

Embed security-by-design into every platform layer: secure CI/CD (SAST, DAST, SCA, secret scanning), supply chain integrity (SLSA, SBOM), and least-privilege access
Lead the journey toward a DevSecOps culture

Reliability & Observability

Define SLOs/SLAs for platform services, ensure full-stack observability, lead incident response, and conduct blameless post-mortems

Cross-functional Leadership

Collaborate with Engineering, SRE, Infrastructure, and Security teams
Mentor engineers, represent DevXP in architectural forums, and communicate technical trade-offs to diverse audiences

Qualifications

Degree in Computer Science or equivalent
