Job Description

Job Title: Staff Platform Engineer
Location: (Remote)
Employment Type: Full time
Department: Engineering

Our Engineering team excels at solving cutting-edge technical challenges with elegant solutions. With a strong focus on product innovation and design, they are shaping the future of the shopping experience. Their ambition is to have a positive impact on the everyday lives of hundreds of millions of users around the world. The Engineering team is currently growing fast to continuously innovate on all parts of our product and tech stack and to empower the revolution of the way people shop online.

Key Responsibilities

At Joko, we’re entering a new stage of scale: over half a million active daily users, and zero-downtime expectations. As our Staff Platform Engineer, you’ll shape and lead our platform efforts. You’ll be the first senior engineer focused on these topics, building on work currently spread across the team and turning it into a clear, reliable, high-leverage platform.

  • Infrastructure: Make our production infrastructure more scalable and resilient (runtime reliability, capacity, failure modes), so we can grow fast without compromising stability.
  • Monitoring & alerting: Build best-in-class observability (metrics, logs, tracing, SLOs) and an alerting strategy that is actionable, low-noise, and improves incident response and on-call quality.
  • Cost & performance: Optimize our architecture to balance reliability, performance, and cloud costs—identify the biggest cost drivers, simplify where it matters, and turn infrastructure efficiency into a measurable business lever.
  • Developer experience: Treat our engineering workflows as a product—accelerate CI/CD, releases, environment management and automation, and create “golden paths” that make the right way the easiest way.
  • Security baseline: Raise the security bar across infrastructure (IAM, secrets, hardening, security monitoring) with pragmatic solutions that scale with the team and don’t add friction.
  • Technical leadership: Define the platform roadmap, align stakeholders, and lead cross-team initiatives end-to-end—bringing structure, standards, and mentorship so platform practices become shared, not heroic.

Required Skills

  • Production reliability & scale: Strong track record operating and evolving production systems (observability, incident response, scalability, reliability patterns) in environments with real traffic and high expectations.
  • DevOps & automation mindset: You consistently improve how engineers ship—CI/CD, releases, automation, tooling—and you care about fast feedback loops and day-to-day developer productivity.
  • Cost/performance tradeoffs: You're comfortable making pragmatic architectural decisions that balance reliability, latency, and cloud costs, with a clear focus on impact.
  • Security fundamentals: You have solid infrastructure security basics (permissions/IAM, secrets, least privilege, hardening). You know how to raise the baseline.
  • Cloud & modern infrastructure: Experience with AWS (we run a server-less setup) or equivalent; familiarity with IaC and modern deployment patterns is a strong plus.
  • Strong software engineering foundations: You're a strong engineer first (design quality, testing, maintainability) and you bring that rigor to platform work.
  • Product-minded: Strong sensitivity to user experience, performance metrics, and real-world usage at scale.
  • Problem solver: Comfortable working in complex, evolving codebases, with the patience and pragmatism to improve them incrementally.
  • Collaboration & influence: You communicate clearly, raise the bar through reviews and mentorship, and partner well with engineers and product stakeholders.
  • Languages: Fluent in English, both written and spoken. French is not required.

Our perks

  • Flexible remote: If you live in Paris, you can choose to work from our office or from home. If you live elsewhere, we can provide access to a coworking space and a coworking budget.
  • Work from anywhere: Full-time employees can work from most countries in the world for up to 3 months per year.
  • After 4 years, spend one month in our New York office.
  • Yearly offsite in amazing locations and budget for team-building events & quarterly in-person gatherings.
  • Contribution to your ClassPass subscription.
  • 8-week paid parental leave.
  • …and much more.
