CV — Alban Dericbourg

Mirakl Connect is the B2B network connecting operators (marketplace owners) and sellers. The post-sales team owns the order lifecycle there (high-volume, distributed system).

I joined to reinforce the team, and also worked on how it designs and delivers:

• Reworked the design-doc process: added often-missed topics (capacity / volumetry, observability, testing), refocused reviews on goals and trade-offs
• Document templates with guidance for each section
• Built Claude Code plugins and skills that restructure design docs to make them easier to read, with fewer review round-trips
• Day-to-day AI-assisted development, with code review and tests as safeguards

Mirakl ↔ Shopify connector for platform operators.

Shipped a middleware between Shopify and the Mirakl platform, letting Shopify shop owners open their store to third-party sellers.

• Designed and implemented internationalization (i18n) support across the connector
• Set up SLOs, from defining them to getting the team to use them

Full-stack team in charge of ride search on the passenger side.

• Drove product projects from discovery to rollout, including a 9-month program spanning 4 teams
• Redesigned the search architecture to keep up with the company’s growth and its multimodal offer, then coordinated a progressive migration, without a big-bang rewrite (#NoRewrite)
• Set up SLOs with the SRE team, in one of the first teams in the company to adopt them: technical SLOs first, then Feature SLOs that measure what the passenger actually experiences; helped other teams get started
• Improved the observability of production services and the design process for new services
• Launched the backend team’s Open Spaces (“Forum ouvert”) so backend engineers share more with each other
• Weekly written progress update emailed to stakeholders on the projects I led: shipped, next steps, blockers
• Written design process: written design doc, async review, small-group peer review with one representative per team, then a kickoff with all involved teams
• Contributed to the team’s day-to-day delivery

Backend team working closely with frontend teams, in charge of computing carpool passenger fees and orchestrating the purchase flow.

• Extracted standalone monetization services out of the legacy monolith, and spread architecture and code-design best practices across the team
• Started an SRE approach, first to cut alert noise and on-call fatigue
• Led the migration from Fleet/Rocket to Docker/Kubernetes in the team’s scope
• Cross-team tooling mission: sped up the build and the CI, mostly by reworking the Gradle configuration
• Mentored a junior engineer

Team owning Criteo’s observability stack (logging, metrics, distributed tracing).

Sole software engineer among ops:

• Designed user-oriented APIs for the team’s client libraries
• Contributed to observability components, including open source (e.g. BigGraphite)
• Shared engineering practices (design, code, testing, reviews)
• Ran Scala workshops for the team

Interface between SRE and feature teams; scoped on service discovery and metrics.

• Led the migration from an in-house metrics aggregator to Prometheus, including cross-team communication and rollout
• Defined and shipped a way to uniquely identify an application from the code
• Provided support on JVM-related issues

Designed, built and maintained:

• Deliverability tooling to maximize inbox placement (over spam)
• An e-mail templating engine

Development and maintenance of APIs consumed by content providers.
