Software Engineer - Network Products Core

OUR STORY:

🇪🇺 Join Scaleway and shape the sovereign cloud of tomorrow !

Since 1999, we have been designing secure, sustainable infrastructures aimed at supporting the most ambitious companies.

Historically known for our dedicated servers (Dedibox), we made a strategic shift to cloud computing in 2015. Staying true to our principles of simplicity, flexibility, and technical excellence, we have become one of the leading players in Europe in the sector.

With the rise of artificial intelligence, we have strengthened our commitment, supported by the Iliad Group, which is investing €3 billion to develop a serious, sovereign AI alternative to American and Asian giants.

Every day, thanks to our rich catalog of products and services (bare metal, containerization, serverless, AI, etc.), Scaleway proudly serves 38,000 private and public sector clients, from Photoroom to Mistral AI, Golem AI, and ADEME.

📍 Our offices are located in Paris, Lille, Toulouse, Bordeaux, and Lyon.

WHY WE NEED YOU?

Our growth is driving us to strengthen our Network Products Core team to support the development of new network products critical to our cloud ecosystem.

Your mission will be to design, implement, and maintain scalable and robust network infrastructure services in order to enhance connectivity features and ensure the reliability of our sovereign cloud offerings.

YOUR FUTURE TEAM

We work in a collaborative and international environment where the diversity of Scalers, combined with a spirit of sharing, helps bring new projects to life every day, advancing our ambitions together.

You will be part of a team of 7 engineers working across France, composed of mostly senior profiles.
