✨ About the Role ✨
Being an SRE at VeepeeTech means being part of a transversal SRE community while integrating a product-oriented Data Platform team.
You will contribute to the reliability, scalability, and operability of critical data services by applying SRE and DevOps practices, while sharing knowledge across teams.
The Data Platform is currently evolving toward a modern lakehouse architecture deployed on VeepeeCloud (our on-prem platform), based on technologies such as Trino, Iceberg, and object storage, with strong ambitions around performance, cost efficiency, and platform ownership.
You will work in a distributed environment (France & Spain), within a team of 40–50 data professionals across engineering, analytics, data science, and governance.
You will play a key role in ensuring the reliability and scalability of this next-generation data platform, while supporting the transition from public cloud to hybrid/on-prem architectures.
