DevOps Engineer

We have a great AI-powered voice biometrics and speech recognition solution, and we are looking for a skilled DevOps Engineer who will help us ensure the seamless delivery of our products to customers. Are you ready to accept this challenge?

Your Role

As a DevOps Engineer, you will:

• automate and enhance the implementation and delivery of our software solution, including nightly builds, automatic staging deployment,

• explore innovative deployment solutions, release processes, and strategies, such as bundling lightweight Kubernetes into virtual machine, and using semantic versioning and releases,

• help integrate new components and technologies into our product,

• keep staging environments up and running to keep developers happy,

• maintain demo environments so future customers can try our product and see how wonderful it is,

• collaborate closely with our developers by suggesting logging improvements, adding more metrics, and contributing to architecture changes,

• work with our technical consultants to discuss and apply feedback on technical documentation, configuration, and customer-facing enhancements,

• embrace an infrastructure-as-code approach wherever possible for deployment, configuration and documentation.

Our development is based on microservice architecture principles. The core components are technology microservices powered by neural networks, providing audio processing methods. These can be used as standalone products or combined into an all-in-one solution with a REST API. We are currently focused on on-premise deployment, mainly using Virtual Machines. In the long term, we aim to expand our focus to the commercial sector; therefore, experience in this area is a strong advantage.

Skills You Will Need:

To excel in this role, you should be proficient in:

• common operating systems: primarily Linux; knowledge of Windows is a plus,

• containerization: Docker, Kubernetes (EKS, K3S), Helm,

• cloud platforms: AWS (or Azure),

• building virtual machine images: Packer, Cloud-init, AWS EC2,

• infrastructure automation tools: Ansible, Terraform, or similar,

• monitoring: we are using Grafana, Prometheus and Loki,

• version control: storing code in a GIT repository,

• continuous integration: familiarity with GitLab pipelines is advantageous,

• scripting languages: Python, Bash.

We value customer focus and problem-solving skills. Expect a dynamic environment where multitasking is the norm. We're looking for someone flexible, structured, and open-minded, with excellent prioritization abilities.

You won’t be alone on this journey. We have a supportive team of DevOps enthusiasts (one skilled DevOps Engineer and one beginner), eager to collaborate or learn from your expertise. If you have experience mentoring juniors, you'll fit right in!

You will be working from our offices in Brno-Královo pole. We value team cooperation, and we believe that team spirit arises from personal interactions. However, a home office 1-2 days per week is also possible 😊
