Job Description

As a Software Engineer, you will join the Phoenix team, developing and testing cloud infrastructure backend services. These services power provisioning, data management and login workflows within a larger Cloud-based product.

You will spend your days as a developer, with a quality-focused mindset — writing production code in Go, building unit tests and setup scripts, and developing automated tests in TypeScript and Playwright. Within a single sprint you may write code on one ticket while testing a colleague's contribution on another. You will also contribute to technical leadership, working with the tech lead and other senior engineers on low-level designs, technical solutions with program architects, guidance for less experienced colleagues, and team planning.

Security is a core part of what we do: our services run inside the product, managing sensitive data and supporting login and provisioning processes. We fix security vulnerabilities and perform threat modeling for our features.

Team works in hybrid mode in Holešovice - Prague, Czech Republic (3 days in the office) reporting to manager, Petr Louda.

Your Responsibilities:

• Develop and test backend services by writing production code, unit tests and setup scripts in Go on your own tickets, and developing automated tests in Playwright using TypeScript to verify your colleagues' contributions.
• Perform code reviews and use automated tests to check the team's contributions.
• Contribute to the team's security work, including vulnerability remediation and AI-assisted penetration testing.
• Contribute to low-level designs and negotiate technical solutions with architects on the program. Including reviewing and decomposing high-level designs from architects into artefacts, team members can consume to develop the functionality.
• Provide technical guidance to less senior engineers, working with the Tech Lead. And mentor, after getting familiar with team's repositories and technologies.
• Help shape the team's Program Increment plans.

The Essentials - You Will Have:

• Bachelor's degree (minimum) in computer sciences, software development, or similar technical studies.
• 2+ years of combined experience in software development AND test automation.
• Experience developing in Go for Cloud/Web applications. We also welcome C++ or C# developers ready to move to Go as primary language.
• Experience developing automated tests using TypeScript. Working with Playwright you will learn on the job.
• You write well-tested software and help keep the team's standards high.
• Demonstrated technical leadership — mentoring colleagues, contributing to low-level design, and performing code reviews.
• Practical experience applying Generative AI in software development and testing.
• Fluent English (B2 minimum, C1 preferred).
• Intermediate Czech.

The Preferred - You Might Also Have:

• Hands-on experience with Kubernetes and containers, and Helm (deploying services, not just consuming them).
• Experience working with GitLab APIs directly (e.g., to manage users and groups), not just as a user.
• Hands-on experience with Azure, specifically Cosmos DB and Azure Service Bus.
• Experience with CI/CD in GitHub, including GitHub Actions and FluxCD.
• Experience with security testing, cryptography, or penetration testing — including AI-assisted approaches.
