Engineering Manager - Ruby Application Platform (x/f/m)

What we do

At Doctolib, we build products that need to scale to millions of people throughout Europe and to yet remain easily maintainable by hundreds of developers. We do several daily deployments, and run 25K+ automated tests through our CI pipeline. The backend runs on Ruby on Rails, backed by PostgreSQL and MongoDB. Our PostgreSQL databases represent a total of 30TB and receive 30M queries by minute under high traffic.

Working in the tech team at Doctolib involves building innovative products and features to improve the daily lives of care teams and patients. We work in feature teams in an agile environment, while collaborating with engineering, design, and business teams.

What you’ll do

As an Engineering Manager, you will lead Doctolib’s Core Backend Foundations team (ATP) within our Platform domain. ATP builds the shared Ruby/Rails backend foundations and “paved roads” used by all product teams (framework components, reusable building blocks, upgrades/migrations, quality/reliability/security-by-default). Our mission is to make backend development safer and faster at scale for hundreds of engineers. This is a Developer Platform / Core Backend Foundations team (not an SRE/DevOps/Infrastructure operations team).

ATP is part of the Platform domain, whose mission is to build and maintain the common building blocks of our system with a "Platform as a Product" mindset. We abstract and simplify the use of these complex, critical components, enabling product teams to focus on their core mission: building products faster for healthcare professionals and patients.

At ATP, we concentrate specifically on our Ruby backend foundations, with a strong focus on quality, scalability, and usability. All Doctolib product teams rely on the foundations we provide, leveraging the components we build to accelerate their development while ensuring the highest standards of quality and security.

As an Engineering Manager, you will guide a team of talented engineers, foster a cult
