SRE (DataPlatform)

📄 JOB DESCRIPTION

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.

🎯 TASKS

Platform Reliability & Operations

Ensure reliability and performance of our data platform services (Trino, Iceberg, S3, Kafka, Flink)

Automate infrastructure provisioning using Terraform, Atlantis, and/or Crossplans

Improve GitOps workflows for platform deployment and configuration

FinOps & Performance Optimization

Collaborate with teams to optimize compute/storage usage (Trino queries, BigQuery slots, etc.?

Build tools and dashboards to track cost, usage, and efficiency

Support the transition toward cost-efficient on-prem workloads

Developer Enablement

Improve self-service capabilities for data teams (e.g., provisioning Trino/Iceberg resources)

Help teams adopt best practices in reliability, observability, and deployment

Write clear technical documentation and runbooks

Resilience & DRP

Contribute to Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) definition and implementation

Ensure multi-DC resilience (FR1 / NL1) and data replication strategies

Participate in incident management and postmortem
