Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFélix Cantournet is a Senior Software Engineer and SRE with 11 years’ experience designing, building, and operating distributed systems, service discovery and network infrastructure for both cloud providers and web-scale companies. He has driven large migrations and platform re‑platforming—most notably leading Blablacar’s move to GCP/GKE with istio-based traffic control—and now focuses on service discovery and mesh at Datadog. Comfortable as a tech lead and individual contributor, he combines deep systems expertise (Kubernetes, Consul, Vault, Prometheus, OpenStack Swift) with strong communication and training skills that improve team ownership and incident readiness. Félix’s background spans low-level performance tuning and upstream contributions to storage and orchestration tooling, and he’s built cross-cloud solutions (including a Yandex-hosted platform) that reveal a pragmatic, multi-provider mindset. He’s curious, open-minded, and seeks roles where he can scale his impact by mentoring engineering teams while shaping platform strategy.
