Team Lead IT - Cloudstore

Within your #OneTeam

You’ll be at the helm of the Business Logic squad, the backbone that powers the CloudStore platform. Your team’s middleware - backend orchestration, consumption tracking, and user management - is the critical layer that every other CloudStore squad relies on. As we transition from proof-of-concept to production with our first enterprise customers, you’ll guarantee continuity, reliability, and billing-grade accuracy of consumption data, enabling CloudStore to become the sovereign service platform of OPCP.

Your main responsibilities :

• Roadmap delivery - Translate the product roadmap into concrete sprint goals, manage WIP and capacity, and keep progress visible for the whole squad.
• Technical leadership - Own the design and robustness of the middleware. Produce ADRs and Technical Specs, drive architectural decisions, and ensure implementation follows best practices.
• Team management - Lead, mentor, and grow a multicultural squad of 8 engineers (French & German). Foster a “one team” spirit and promote knowledge sharing across the acquisition-derived team.
• Quality & data accuracy - Deliver features on time, within budget, and with the security and auditability required for billing-grade consumption data.
• Cross-team coordination - Align with Platform, Packagers, Experience squads, OPCP Core, and Sovereign Delivery & Operations to guarantee seamless integration.
• Risk management & prioritisation - Identify, analyse, and communicate risks; propose mitigation options; balance planned and unplanned work to keep the roadmap on track.

Your future impact

In 6 months

• The squad will be fully operational under your guidance, delivering the first set of production-ready middleware components.
• Consumption data pipelines will achieve billing-grade accuracy and be auditable, satisfying early enterprise customers.
• A clear, visible workflow for WIP and capacity will be established, improving predictability across the team.

And in 1 year

• CloudStore’s middleware will be recognised as a stable, secure foundation for all downstream squads, supporting multiple enterprise onboardings.
• The squad will have matured into a high-performing, self-organising unit with a strong “one team” culture and low turnover.
• Continuous improvement loops (ADR reviews, security post-mortems, observability enhancements) will be embedded, keeping the platform resilient and compliant with OPCP security standards.

Skills required:

• Software architecture & system design (backend orchestration, event-driven processing)
• Python (object-oriented programming)
• PostgreSQL
• Kubernetes & CI/CD pipelines
• Software lifecycle management, including air-gapped environments
• Identity & access management in multi-tenant systems
• Observability (metrics, tracing, logging)
• IaaS fundamentals
• Agile delivery management (WIP, capacity, prioritisation)

Security expertise

• Secure-by-design development, threat modelling, OWASP Top 10
• OIDC/OAuth2, RBAC, least-privilege, tenant isolation
• Secrets & credential management, confidentiality, integrity, availability
• GDPR compliance, auditability of billing-relevant consumption data
• Supply-chain security (dependency scanning, SBOM, artifact integrity)
• Kubernetes security (network policies, workload isolation, secure configuration)
• Incident handling (audit logging, anomaly detection, escalation)
• Operational security (secure remote work, device & access protection)

That's a plus :

• Experience with sovereign cloud initiatives or regulated environments
• Prior leadership of multicultural, acquisition-integrated teams
• Hands-on experience with air-gapped CI/CD pipelines
• Familiarity with OPCP internal tooling or OVHcloud ecosystem
• Certifications in cloud security (e.g., CCSK, CISSP) or Kubernetes (CKA/CKS)
