• A “stuff diving” mindset. We work with what’s needed, apply the right principles, and carry lessons across technologies.
• Freedom to grow. If you like exploring new things like DevOps, functional programming, frontends, whatever we’ve got space for it.
• Peer-driven culture. We build things together, review each other’s code, and hold regular knowledge-sharing sessions.
• Home office is not a benefit; it is a standard – we are used to working in a hybrid model, based on team agreement.

WHAT WE EXPECT FROM YOU:
Must have:

• Java proficiency, or solid experience with another OOP language and a willingness to switch
• Genuine interest in functional programming. Scala is our backend language of choice, and we’ll help you get there
• Experience and interest in AI - Our strategy focuses on robust automation that blends innovative research with real-world enterprise needs, moving beyond basic chatbot integration.
• Readiness to drive things forward, whether it be through tech exploration, pair programming, or sharing your insights
• Ability to switch context and stay comfortable outside a single tech stack
• Curiosity, responsibility, and a desire to get things done, not because you’re told, but because it excites joy
• Fluent in Czech/Slovak + English at least B2

Nice to have

• Experience with any functional or multi-paradigm language: Scala, JavaScript, Python, etc.
• DevOps awareness: Kubernetes, ArgoCD, Bamboo, shell scripting
