Société Générale is accelerating the digitalization of its IT by investing in a private cloud that provides secure, scalable services to thousands of developers across the Group. As part of this strategy, we centralized the hosting of cloud services (XaaS) APIs within a dedicated platform called CCP.

CCP standardizes the deployment and hosting of cloud service APIs through strong automation, clean Python backend services, and a scalable infrastructure. It is a critical, always‑on platform (24/7 monitoring) that supports more than 70 key applications.

We are looking for a Senior Python Developer / DevOps Engineer who thrives in an environment where operational reliability meets high‑quality backend engineering.

• Develop clean, maintainable, production‑grade Python code for CCP APIs (onboarding, deployment, automation…)
• Ensure all new features contribute to a seamless user experience and meet high reliability standards
• Participate in code reviews, technical discussions, and architecture choices within the team

Platform Reliability & Observability

• Continuously improve the platform’s observability (metrics, logs, traces)
• Guarantee the reliability and performance targets defined by the cloud platform
• Contribute to incident analysis and root-cause investigations

Operational Excellence

• Support users (L2/L3) and enhance RUN processes to improve efficiency and reliability
• Automate recurring operations wherever possible
• Ensure deployments and operations follow industrial‑grade DevOps practices

Engineering Culture

• Promote best practices in Python backend development across the team
• Challenge existing processes and propose improvements that enhance code quality, maintainability, and platform resilience
