As our Director of Site Reliability Engineering, reporting to our VP of Platform Engineering, you'll own the core infrastructure layers that everything at Doctolib runs on: cloud infrastructure, database operations, network infrastructure, and observability. You will also lead the Doctolib Operations Center (DOC) and drive a decisive shift from reactive operations to a proactive, world-class reliability culture. This is a rare opportunity to shape the infrastructure backbone of Europe's leading healthtech company, at a moment when Doctolib is actively expanding multi-cloud capabilities, scaling to new countries, and building the reliability culture that will define the next decade of healthcare innovation.
Job Responsibility
Build and run a world-class SRE org of 25+ engineers across Cloud Infrastructure, Database & Storage, Network Infrastructure, Observability Tooling, and the Doctolib Operations Center
Own the infrastructure strategy and roadmap — cloud, database, network, observability — and deliver against company OKRs
Lead the Doctolib Operations Center: set incident response standards, drive MTTR reduction, embed blameless post-mortem culture across engineering
Architect and execute our multi-cloud strategy — reducing vendor lock-in, cutting migration costs, and enabling international expansion
Own network infrastructure at scale: load balancing, CDN/WAF, VPCs, peering, zero-trust networking across a high-traffic, multi-country platform
Drive observability as a product — give 700+ engineers true visibility into system health and turn observability maturity into an operational excellence lever
Lead from the front as a senior technical voice in the Platform org and broader Tech leadership team
Requirements
12+ years in software engineering, including 5+ years leading managers and running infrastructure or SRE organisations at scale
Track record of taking SRE practices from reactive to proactive — with measurable reductions in incidents and MTTR
Strong multi-cloud and network infrastructure experience: load balancing, CDN/WAF, VPCs, peering, at high-traffic scale
Deep database operations background: large-scale transactional systems (PostgreSQL, Aurora), streaming/CDC (Kafka), data layer FinOps
Experience building observability platforms that give teams genuine visibility — metrics, logs, traces, alerting
Sharp process thinking: SLOs, error budgets, incident management, blameless post-mortems
Outcome-driven: you track reliability, cost efficiency, and engineering velocity as business metrics, not just technical ones
Strong communicator and influencer at executive level — equally credible with senior engineers and business stakeholders
Builder of high-performing, people-first engineering cultures
Fluent in English
comfortable in fast-paced, international environments
You recognise yourself in our playbook values
