Job Description

We are a unique combination of a technology company and a trading house. Our mission is to turn data into market-beating trading strategies by using sophisticated mathematical models while helping to balance the power grid. 

Our team consists of top-class developers, quant analysts, and traders who use their accumulated know-how to create a state-of-the-art platform. No legacy code, no mundane maintenance and outdated technologies, just the pure engineering joy of creating a well-designed piece of software

What would you work on:

  • Lead and manage a cross-functional team of software and data engineers - own their performance, support their growth, and foster a culture where people feel connected and do their best work.
  • Build and evolve the technical products the team owns - automation solutions for operations functions (finance, accounting, treasury, legal, compliance, human resources etc.) and a Data Warehouse serving data and analytical needs of those teams.
  • Own and drive the technical direction of the team - set architectural direction, facilitate problem-solving sessions, maintain solutions consistency, and make sure the team's solutions are built to last.
  • Co-create the vision for automating and improving efficiency across operations functions - finance, accounting, financial controlling, treasury, legal, compliance, and human resources.
  • Own and continuously improve how the team operates - from requirements intake and prioritisation, through planning and execution, to maintaining reliable production services.
  • Work closely with a team of business analysts who gather requirements and map business processes before engineering work begins, ensuring the right problems get solved in the right way.
  • Champion strong data management practices across the team - including data governance, access controls, and data quality standards for the company's internal Data Warehouse.
  • Own the team structure - define what roles are needed, ensure the team size is adequate to deliver on business goals and hiring the right people.

What makes you a great candidate:

  • You're an engineering leader who takes ownership, drives results, and knows how to build a team that does the same.
  • You're comfortable at the intersection of technology and business - you can engage with stakeholders from finance, legal, or HR, understand what they need, and work with your team to build the right solution.
  • You have hands-on engineering experience - across both software and data engineering (Data Warehousing) - and you're comfortable enough with the technical details to lead by example and earn the trust of your engineers.
  • You're energised by organisational and business process efficiency - untangling historically grown workflows, bringing structure where there is none, and turning manual operations into automated systems.
  • You know how to set technical direction and make architectural decisions, and you're confident doing so even in ambiguous environments.
  • You're genuinely excited about AI and have hands-on experience applying AI tools in an engineering context - whether in development workflows, automation, or product capabilities.
  • You have passion for developing people - giving feedback, spotting potential, and helping engineers grow into the best version of themselves.
  • You're organised and proactive, with strong communication skills that work equally well in an engineering standup and a leadership meeting.

What we offer?

  • Brand new office in the city center – Masaryčka.  
  • Competitive salary package with the possibility of a yearly bonus.  
  • 25 days of paid holiday.  
  • Flexible working hours and home-office options.  
  • High-end workstation.  
  • Sponsored lunch in the office. Every workday.  
  • Free snacks at the office.  
  • Multisport Card – fully paid by the company.  
  • Colleagues who are absolute experts in what they do.
