DevOps minded engineer

We are building a new R&D team focused on cross-cutting infrastructure challenges such as cloud governance, security, disaster recovery, operational readiness and cost visibility. This isn't a classic DevOps role - we're looking for someone who codes, not just configures, and treats infrastructure as something you build, test and maintain like any other software.

If you'd like to work remotely, no problem - but it helps if you're within driving distance of Brno or Ostrava. The team likes to meet up in person from time to time.

WHAT WE OFFER

• Systemic impact. What you build here doesn't serve one team - it becomes the pattern other teams rely on.
• Real ownership without being a bottleneck. You'll solve production-grade infrastructure problems, not gatekeep other teams' changes.
• A manager-less structure. No micromanagement, no status pyramids.
• A team that decides and owns what it builds - including hiring and promotions.
• No bulls**t KPIs.
• Learning and knowledge sharing is part of the job, not a side activity.

WHAT YOU'LL WORK ON

• Infrastructure is a shared R&D responsibility - any R&D team can propose and implement changes across the stack, including Terraform modules, cloud environments, account foundations and future landing zones.
• You'll independently analyse production infrastructure problems and deliver safe changes in your area of expertise.
• Broader architecture and cross-platform decisions are made collaboratively - you won't be expected to redesign or own the entire infrastructure alone.
• Your focus: solving systemic problems together with other teams and turning working solutions into reusable patterns, automation and documented practices - not becoming the approval gate for everyone else's changes.

WHAT WE EXPECT FROM YOU

• A strong mid-level to senior infrastructure engineer profile, with a developer mindset and development experience.
• Strong practical experience with at least two of: AWS, Azure, GCP/Kubernetes, Terraform/OpenTofu.
• The ability to write maintainable automation and infrastructure code.
• Developer habits: testing, code review, versioning, CI/CD, validation and rollback.
• A solid understanding of Linux, IAM/RBAC, networking and infrastructure security.
• The ability to work across repositories and teams, document decisions and share knowledge.
• Fluent Czech + English at a conversational/working level (at least B2)

NICE TO HAVE

• AWS Organizations, IAM Identity Center
• GitOps
• Disaster recovery, observability, FinOps
• OpenStack/OTC or other compliance-driven infrastructure

No one is expected to be an expert in every area from day one.

If this sounds like your kind of work, let's talk.
