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)
