About this role
We are looking for an Engineering Manager to join Doctolib's Automation Platform (AUTOP) team, which empowers all Doctolib engineers to build, test, and deploy software with confidence and speed.
As part of the Platform organization, Autop’s mission is to build and maintain the automation infrastructure and developer tools that enable our engineering teams to deliver high-quality software efficiently. Every feature shipped at Doctolib — from appointment booking to teleconsultation to AI-powered clinical tools — flows through AUTOP's automation infrastructure. We're the platform behind the platform. When product teams ship faster, safer, and with more confidence, it's because AUTOP built the rails they run on.
AUTOP (Automation Platform) is responsible for critical developer-facing systems including: CI/CD automation, testing infrastructure (unit, integration, E2E, contract, visual regression), local and ephemeral development environments, release management, dependency management, and developer productivity tooling.
What you will do
As the Engineering Manager for AUTOP, your responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
People leadership
• Build and lead a high-performing team of 6 engineers who are passionate about developer productivity;
• Create a culture where engineers own outcomes, not tasks — where platform adoption and developer satisfaction are the north stars;
• Recruit, mentor, and retain top platform engineering talent in a competitive market;
• Conduct impactful 1:1s, performance reviews, and career development conversations that help engineers reach their full potential.
Technical Strategy & Execution
• 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;
• Set the bar for automation, quality, reliability, and security — your systems must be highly reliable because 800 engineers+ depending on them daily;
• Champion a "Platform as a Product" mindset: treat internal developers as customers, measure adoption and satisfaction, iterate based on feedback;
• Partner strategically with product teams, Infrastructure Platform, and Applicative Platform to solve cross-cutting challenges;
• Drive measurable improvements in developer productivity metrics: build times, deployment frequency, test reliability, time-to-production… supporting Doctolib teams to monitor their metrics (DORA, performance, costs, etc).
Impact & Influence
• Be a visible technical leader across the organization — your team's work enables everyone else's success;
• Influence engineering culture: establish best practices, contribute to technical strategy beyond your team;
• Navigate ambiguity and lead through influence, not authority — platform adoption requires trust and advocacy, not m
