Dailymotion is more than a video app, it's a visual conversation in motion, based on a unique algorithm designed to broaden users' horizons. Dailymotion brings nuance to the debates that animate young people and puts listening, discovery, and kindness back at the heart of interactions to help build a better and safer Internet.
Dailymotion is also "Dailymotion Pro", a video hosting and broadcasting solution for professionals in all sectors; and "Dailymotion Advertising", a powerful, proprietary video advertising platform, offering a high-quality, secure environment for brands.
Our team is made up of 400 people in France, New York, Singapore, Milan, Madrid and London all united by the same ambition: to visibly shake up the global video platform ecosystem.
Job Description:About the team
The Core Toolkit team sits within Core Video & Operations and acts as a force multiplier for engineering at Dailymotion. We build the self-serve APIs, platforms, and operational components that every team relies on daily to ship safely and efficiently.
Our scope covers four critical internal systems:
Administration BFF : the central gateway for all internal operations, with built-in security, request traceability, and full change historization
Async task orchestration : the backbone of our micro-service stack, handling scheduling, queuing, and orchestration for all asynchronous and recurring workloads across the platform
Feature flipping system : managing 500+ feature flags and enabling safe rollouts and experimentation across the entire platform
Operational logging infrastructure : providing audit trails and observability for internal operations
We're a small, autonomous team where each engineer has real ownership and direct impact on how Dailymotion operates at scale.

️ Build and own critical infrastructure
Lead the evolution of our async task orchestration platform, the backbone of our microservices ecosystem, making it more reliable, scalable, and developer-friendly
