Job Description

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 fast-growing portfolio of cloud and AI products (bare metal, containerization, serverless, AI, etc.), Scaleway proudly serves thousands of customer across the private and public sector, from corporations like France Télévisions or Hachette Livre, to fast-growing startups like Photoroom and Biolevate, to institutions like the City of Copenhagen.

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

WHY WE NEED YOU ?

Our growth is driving us to strengthen our Hardware Architecture team to source and design our future hardware solutions.

Your mission will be to translate functional requirements from our Product teams into concrete hardware solutions (Storage, Compute, AI, HPC) in order to ensure the technical performance and financial relevance of our sovereign cloud infrastructure.

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 join a team of experts working on Open Hardware (OCP) projects and engaging in co-design with global hardware vendors. You will be at the heart of our infrastructure strategy, collaborating closely with Product, Engineering, and Validation teams.
