Engineering Manager - Automation Platform

About the role

Engineering Manager for the Automation Platform (AUTOP) team, which empowers all Doctolib engineers to build, test, and deploy software with confidence and speed. You'll build and maintain the automation infrastructure and developer tools that enable engineering teams to deliver high-quality software efficiently.

What you'll do

• Build and lead a high-performing team of 6 engineers passionate about developer productivity
• Create a culture where engineers own outcomes, not tasks — where platform adoption and developer satisfaction are the north stars
• Define and drive the technical vision for your team's domain (CI/CD, testing infrastructure, developer environments, or release automation)
• Make high-impact technical decisions that balance short-term delivery with long-term sustainability and scale
• Champion a "Platform as a Product" mindset: treat internal developers as customers, measure adoption and satisfaction, iterate based on feedback
• Drive measurable improvements in developer productivity metrics: build times, deployment frequency, test reliability, time-to-production
• Be a visible technical leader across the organization — your team's work enables everyone else's success
• Navigate ambiguity and lead through influence, not authority — platform adoption requires trust and advocacy, not mandates

What you'll need

• 6+ years of software engineering and 3+ years managing technical teams
• Deep platform engineering expertise: CI/CD, developer tooling, automation, testing infrastructure, or internal platforms
• Track record of building "Platform as a Product" — you've driven adoption, measured impact, and iterated based on developer feedback
• Strong stakeholder management — you can influence without authority, build coalitions, and navigate complex organizational dynamics
• Proven ability to balance technical depth with people leadership
• Fluent in English and comfortable influencing across a multi-country organization

Nice to have

• Experience managing distributed or remote teams across time zones
• Background in healthcare, regulated industries, or mission-critical systems where reliability and security are non-negotiable

What they offer

• Free comprehensive health insurance for you and your children
• 25 days of paid vacation per year, plus up to 14 days of RTT
• Free mental health and coaching services through Moka.care
• Lunch vouchers worth €8.50 per working day, with €4.50 covered by Doctolib
• 50% reimbursement of public transport subscription
• Parent Care Program: one additional month of leave on top of legal parental leave
