Rather than working within a single feature team, you will own the cross-cutting technical challenges: defining how Doctolib's product and AI teams build agentic solutions, standardizing ML evaluation frameworks, and spreading strong engineering practices across the org.

You will unblock teams, shape architecture decisions, and take on the deep technical work that requires senior ML judgment at scale, directly impacting the daily lives of 400,000 healthcare professionals and the health of 80 million patients.

Building at Doctolib means delivering innovative products that measurably improve outcomes for care teams and patients alike.

Define and drive adoption of rigorous evaluation frameworks across all AI teams, setting the standard for how Doctolib measures model and agentic performance

Establish shared production infrastructure patterns for AI: model and prompt versioning, guardrails, uncertainty quantification, cost optimization, and observability

Lead the technical design of agentic solutions and define how product teams across Doctolib build on top of AI capabilities

Elevate technical standards across the DS & AI org by influencing Staff and Senior ML Engineers through architecture reviews, technical guidance, and practice propagation

Partner with Product, Legal, and Compliance teams to ensure safe rollout and meet EU regulatory expectations (GDPR, MDR, EU AI Act)
