Software Engineer - Hardware Orchestration

As Scaleway continues to scale its cloud infrastructure, we are strengthening our engineering team toautomate and industrialize the deployment and management of our Bare Metal infrastructure.

As aSenior Software Engineer, your mission will be todesign and build the automation and orchestration tools that power our physical infrastructure, from server provisioning to hardware lifecycle management.

You will play a key role in enabling thedeployment of new Availability Zones and regions at scale, reducing manual operations and improving the reliability, efficiency and scalability of our infrastructure.

This is an opportunity to tackle complex engineering challenges at the intersection ofsoftware development, infrastructure automation and large-scale distributed systems

At Scaleway, we work in a collaborative and international environment where knowledge sharing, technical excellence and diverse perspectives help us build ambitious products at scale.

You will join a team of6 engineers responsible for developing and maintaining the orchestration systems behind Scaleway's Bare Metal infrastructure.

The team works closely withSupply Chain, Network, Datacenter and SRE teams to automate infrastructure operations and support the deployment of new Availability Zones.

We operate with a strong culture of ownership and knowledge sharing.

• Design, develop and maintain automation and orchestration tools for Bare Metal server provisioning at scale.

• Contribute to theautomation of new Availability Zone and region deployments, minimizing manual intervention and dependencies between teams.

• Build and improve software solutions tomanage the hardware lifecycle, from server qualification and provisioning to ongoing operations.

• Develop reliable, maintainable and scalable applications usingPython and/or Go.

• Improve theresilience, performance and observability of our infrastructure orchestration systems.

• Collaborate withNetwork, Datacenter, Supply Chain and SRE teams to solve complex infrastructure challenges.

• Drive improvements inCI/CD, infrastructure automation and deployment processes.

• Contribute to architectural decisions, share technical knowledge and continuously improve engineering practices.
