Junior Ops Engineer - Apprenticeship (f/m/d)

At Decathlon, we live and breathe sport. Our mission? Bring people together through sport to make wellbeing accessible for all. And to make that happen seamlessly, our tech has to perform like a top-tier athlete.

Our Global Checkout Tech team is currently a tight-knit squad of 9 passionate teammates. Together, we manage the checkout perimeter across more than 80 countries! Whether a customer is buying a tent in France or a bike in Japan, you will ensure their checkout experience is flawless.

We win as a team, we learn from our mistakes, and we always back each other up. If you love tech, automation, and a strong culture of mutual aid, you are exactly the player we are looking for to join our starting lineup!

🏟️ Your Playground (The Role)

As our new OPS Engineer, you will be at the heart of our global operations. Your daily routine won’t just be about keeping the lights on; it’s about optimizing, automating, and scaling our checkout ecosystem worldwide.

• Maintain & Scale: Ensure the reliability and performance of our checkout systems across 80+ countries.

• Team Play: Collaborate daily with your 9 teammates. Sharing knowledge, helping a colleague in need, and pair-programming are part of our DNA.

• Continuous Improvement: Bring fresh ideas to the table to make our global infrastructure faster, smarter, and more resilient.

👟 Your Scouting Profile (Skills We Are Looking For)

We are looking for a versatile teammate who loves to tackle technical challenges. You’ll be a great fit if you have solid experience in:

• Windows System Administration: You know Windows environments inside out and can manage them at scale.

• Packaging: You master software packaging and deployment like a pro.

• Scripting (PowerShell): If it can be automated, you automate it. PowerShell is your go-to language to build clean, efficient scripts.

• AI / ML (Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning): You have a strong interest or experience in integrating AI/ML concepts to optimize operations or predict system behaviors.

• General Networking: You understand routing, switching, and firewall basics—enough to troubleshoot global connectivity issues with ease.

At Decathlon, your personality matters just as much as your technical stack. We are looking for someone who embodies:

• Generosity & Entraide: You never leave a teammate behind. You enjoy helping others and growing together.

• Vitality & Autonomy: You are proactive, full of energy, and ready to take ownership of your topics.

• Adaptability: Managing a perimeter of 80+ countries means dealing with diverse challenges. You embrace change with a smile.

🎁 What’s in it for you?

• A dynamic, caring, and international environment.

• Real opportunities to test, learn, and innovate (especially with AI/ML).

• A team that celebrates victories together (and supports each other during intense sprints).

• A company culture where sport and well-being are part of the daily routine.
