👉 We offer hybrid work - 12 days of home office monthly.
You’ll lead a team of 7 engineers working on an ingestion gateway for the ESET XDR platform — a system processing large volumes of security data for enterprise customers.

Expected split: ~70% technical / 30% leadership.
The team is primarily based in Kraków (Poland), with members in Brno (Czechia), and collaborates with HQ in Bratislava (Slovakia).
What you’ll do
* Lead a team of 7 engineers (mentoring, feedback, growth)
* Act as a technical authority for AWS infrastructure and services
* Design and review cloud architecture (scalability, reliability, security)
* Work closely with product and engineering stakeholders on priorities and delivery
* Improve engineering practices (CI/CD, observability, automation)
* Stay hands-on when needed (code reviews, debugging, unblocking the team)
What we expect
* Experience leading a technical team (or strong senior ready to step up)
* Solid experience with AWS and cloud architecture design
* Ability to design and operate distributed systems
* Experience with at least one programming language (e.g. C#, Python)
* Good understanding of:
* CI/CD
* infrastructure as code
* high availability & security principles
* Strong communication skills and cross-team collaboration
* English proficiency (daily communication)
Nice to have
* Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform
* Experience with high-throughput / data ingestion systems
* Polish (B2+)
Why this role
* Real impact on a production security platform used by enterprise customers
* Balance between leadership and technical work
* Opportunity to influence architecture, not just maintain it

We offer yearly bonus in the amount of up to 14%, performance dependent.
