Technical Lead Applications: Experience and Skills
️⭐ Who we are looking for?
As a Technical Lead Applications at Stormshield, you will be the key reference for structuring and managing the operations (Run/MCO) of a hybrid application portfolio (SaaS + on-premise) and contributing to technical projects that evolve our tools.
Your main challenge is to bring structure and governance (inventory, ownership, MCO standards, runbooks, KPIs, MCO backlog) to make operations more controlled, predictable, and robust, in close collaboration with infrastructure teams (core systems, monitoring, backups) and other stakeholders.
This is a non-development role: you will not be coding features.
Backups and infrastructure foundations are handled by the infrastructure team.
If you are able to build a run/operations framework from scratch and have a solid understanding of Linux, then this is the right place for you.
✏️ What is the job description for the Technical Lead Applications?
You will work closely with Digital, Support, Dev, Infra teams, and with vendors/service providers. Your missions will include:
Structuring Application Run/MCO
- Build and maintain an application inventory: applications, environments, criticality, ownership, dependencies, integrations, contacts
- Define and deploy an MCO framework: operational standards (versions, application upgrades/patches, access, logs), minimal documentation, and best practices
- Produce and maintain runbooks (operations + recurring incidents) and an MCO backlog (obsolescence, application vulnerabilities, preventive actions)
- Define application-side monitoring/alerting requirements and coordinate implementation with infrastructure teams
Leading Technical Application Projects
- Perform diagnostics and define evolution roadmaps (impacts, risks, options, costing, deployment plans)
- Lead structuring technical projects (tooling, platforms, standardization, major upgrades, bringing systems under control)
Standard DB Ops & Operations Coordination
- Ensure a standard level of DB operations (MSSQL/PostgreSQL): rights management, standard maintenance, procedures, basic diagnostics, coordination
- Hold application ownership for certain on-premise environments: operability requirements, maintenance windows, production release conditions (without managing the infrastructure core)
ITIL / ITSM Contribution
- Contribute to a pragmatic ITIL/ITSM governance model (incidents/problems/changes handled by another role), by providing standards, impact analysis, and change conditions
⚙️ Which environnements?
- Tools: Jira, Confluence, JSM
- Framing workshops, tooling evolution, ITIL culture, pragmatic ITSM approach
