Join us as a Site Reliability Engineer on our Storage team to keep the databases Qonto runs on resilient, safe, and always available. You'll operate and improve our banking-grade storage infrastructure — PostgreSQL, Redis, Kafka and Elasticsearch — and help make it self-serve for backend teams, under the guidance of Damien, our Storage Engineering Manager.

➡️ What you'll do

• Operate and safeguard critical storage infrastructure: You'll run PostgreSQL, Redis, Kafka and Elasticsearch in production, keeping banking-grade data safe and available.
• Own incident response and root-cause analysis: You'll be the last line of defense when a hard query or performance problem needs solving.
• Build our banking-license compliance roadmap: You'll define and prioritize backup and disaster-recovery scenarios with our Risk & Compliance team.
• Ship code for our internal platform APIs: You'll build self-service tooling that lets backend teams spin up storage resources in minutes, not days.
• Help shape how AI agents access sensitive systems: You'll contribute to making our storage APIs safe and traceable for autonomous agents, not just humans.

➡️ What we're looking for

• Solid PostgreSQL production experience: You've operated PostgreSQL in production and know how to investigate performance issues, reason about backups/restores, and make safe changes. Deep mastery is a strong plus, but we don't expect you to be a dedicated PostgreSQL expert from day one.
• Comfortable across the storage stack: You have working knowledge of Redis, Kafka or Elasticsearch, and you pick up new systems fast.
• Practical AI usage in your daily workflow: You already use AI to speed up debugging, coding, documentation or operational work — not as a buzzword, but as a real productivity habit. You're also curious about how AI agents can safely and traceably interact with sensitive production systems.
• You write code: You're comfortable shipping features, not just scripts, for the internal platform tools your team builds.
• Calm, rigorous incident response: You've handled production incidents on stateful systems and stay composed when the pressure is on.

➡️ What we can offer you

• A team about to raise the bar on resilience: With Qonto's banking-license roadmap underway, you'll help define how a regulated fintech operates its data.
• Real ownership from day one: You'll drive your own reliability and disaster-recovery roadmap, not just execute someone else's backlog.
• A growing team: Storage is scaling toward 5-6 engineers, so there's real room to shape how the team works, not just join it.
• A fully remote-first team: Your teammates are spread across Europe.

➡️ Your future manager

You'll report to Damien Cupif, our Storage Engineering Manager — but don't expect micro-management. Damien started out as a data engineer and naturally pivoted into infrastructure after building the tooling his own data pipelines needed. He sets a clear direction, stays hands-on with his team, and is genuinely invested in how each new hire ramps up and grows.

If this sounds like you — even if you don't check every box — we'd love to hear from you.
