CV — Alban Dericbourg

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

Joined to reinforce the team, I took the initiative to raise the engineering bar on design and delivery:

• Reworked the design-doc process to close recurring blind spots (capacity / volumetry, observability, testing) and refocus reviews on goals and trade-offs
• Drove adoption of structured templates with inline guidance per section
• Built AI plugins/skills that restructure design docs for readability and actionability, cutting review back-and-forth

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
• Led SLO rollout end-to-end — from design through change management and team adoption

Full-stack team — passenger-side search experience, from the will to travel to choosing the most relevant ride for one’s preferences.

• Drove product projects from discovery to rollout, including 9-month programs spanning 4 teams
• Revamped the search architecture to fit company scale and its multimodal roadmap, then coordinated a progressive migration — no big-bang rewrite (#NoRewrite)
• Pioneered SLOs in the team: paired with the SRE team to ship the first technical SLOs, then Feature SLOs for sharper user-experience modeling; helped onboard other teams
• Continuously improved reliability: strengthened production observability and the design process for new services
• Launched the backend team’s Open Spaces (“Forum ouvert”) to boost cooperation between engineers
• Contributed to the team’s day-to-day delivery

Backend team working closely with frontend teams — 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
• Drove an SRE approach focused on reducing alert noise and on-call fatigue
• Led the migration from Fleet/Rocket to Docker/Kubernetes in the team’s scope
• Cross-cutting mission on performance (team, tooling, applications)
• 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)
• Spread engineering best practices (design, code, testing, reviews)
• Ran Scala workshops to upskill teammates

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.
