JOB ID: 35253

We are looking for an experienced Staff Cloud Engineer to join our excellent PKIasS engineering team based out of Prague, Czech Republic with Scrum Master and Product Owner and architect in US. The ideal applicant will be an independent thinker and proactive problem-solvers, unafraid of complex technical challenges. We provide everyone with the opportunity and support to thrive and reach their highest potential.
The team is responsible for extending and maintaining the existing product, a private/public CA specialized in issuing high volume machine certificates. The expansion plans are both vertical and horizontal (geographic) and both aspects require a high degree of AWS/Cloud competence. The best candidate is the one that combines best practices and engineering excellence together with continuous learning and improvement. At the same time, such a person must be able to accept that part of the job is making sure existing infrastructure is maintained. This requires a passion for automating things as a default approach to any task.
All the qualifications listed below are taken into consideration, but at the same time, HID realizes that successful engineer moves between technologies and domains.

YOUR EXPERIENCE AND BACKGROUND INCLUDE:

Bachelor’s degree required in Computer Science / Engineering or equivalent (master’s degree preferred). Candidates with an equivalent education or relevant work experience may also be considered
5+ years of development experience in backend systems
Experience in working with Docker and deployment and delivery of complex solutions within cloud services
Familiarity with JavaScript frameworks such as Angular and React is a big plus
Respect for Computer Science fundamentals, design patterns, and development best practices
Acceptance of Agile Methodology and Principles is necessary
Applicant must be comfortable communicating both with developers and management
High level of personal accountability, as evidenced by their commitment, resilience, ownership, and mindset toward continuous learning
Individual engineers are expected to work end-end. High level task is analyzed into functional specifications, which is then discussed and implemented usually by the same engineer. This is functionally different from top-down engineering teams
Continuous improvement - must be constantly growing one’s craft, learning new tools and techniques, and sharing these within and among teams
Understand that their role in the organization is broader than the details included in this job description
Excellent interpersonal skills – the ability to work with diverse personality types
Kubernetes and docker are a major deciding factor
Current deployment is in AWS, but accomplished experts in other platforms will also be considered as we consider cloud providers homomorphic
Basics of software engineering such as Git, unit testing, SQL fundamentals and rest api are taken for granted
