Platform Engineering Manager

Do you want to be part of a team that’s redefining the way developers work and building solutions that push the boundaries of innovation? Join us and make a real impact by shaping the future of technology.

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for a senior engineer who has experience in multiple technologies. Someone who is passionate about technologies, community building and wants to take the world of technology to the next level.

 

You're not just about keeping systems running-you want to elevate how developers operate, empower teams, and set new standards for reliability and performance. Most importantly, you're excited to share your knowledge and inspire those around you to push boundaries and achieve more together.

What will you do?

  • Communicate with stakeholders and engineers about their needs.
  • Come up with creative ways to tackle their goals, giving them plenty of options.
  • Build trust between the development department and C-level manager.
  • Propose strategies on how to teach developers about new technologies.
  • Implement your proposed solutions and collaborate with team members to monitor and refine them.

What we expect from you?

  • Communication with clients and developers
  • Knowledge of multiple programming languages and their ecosystems (Java/Kotlin, TypeScript (Node.js, React or Angular), C#, (Python) …)
  • Experience working with at least two different cloud service providers (i.e., AWS, Azure, GCP)
  • DevOps (CI/CD pipelines, Infrastructure as Code)
  • Automation tools (GitLab CI/CD, GitHub Actions, Release-Please, SemVer)
  • Technical leadership (get your hands dirty)
  • Project management skills (proposing quick wins over long-term tasks and arguments to stakeholders)
  • Analytical skills (discovering clients' needs and proposing the best possible ways according to their needs)
  • Security (knowledge of different segments especially those in enterprise-grade companies according to their regulations and other requirements)
  • CZ and English, at least B2 level. 

What you can get with us?

We trust each other, so each of us can work from anywhere and at any time. We offer classic benefits such as Multisport card, a company Macbook or discounted prices on electronics.

 

Below we have listed some of the benefits we think are the most interesting, which you won't find just anywhere:

01
DX Expertise

You will work with the only one team offering such services in the Czech Republic that focuses on developer experience.

02
03
04

Offered salary

We offer a salary range of 110,000 to 135,000 CZK, based on your skill level.

 

At DX Heroes, we maintain transparent wages based on established competency models tied to specific skill sets. So you will always have a clear path on how to move forward.

How does it work in DX Heroes?

We specialize in developer experience, and since this topic and its benefits aren't yet widely recognized in the local market, we currently work primarily with international clients. Most often, we are approached by companies in the fintech sector, ranging from startups to large corporations. This means you'll get the chance to collaborate with our team and the client’s developers.

 

If you'd like to explore our work in more detail, we recommend checking out some of our specific projects.

 

Our team is still quite small (there are 10 of us), so we have the opportunity to approach each one individually. But that doesn't mean you'll only meet us in the office; we were created under the wings of the company Applifting (there are almost 170 of them), and we share not only an open culture with them, but also offices in the very 💙 of Karlín. 

How will the hiring process work?

01

Shoot us a message to let us know you're keen on the job. If you can, please send us your CV or Linkedin profile. If you have any questions, include them as well. 

02

We automatically initially make a quick call to check for a mutual match. If we have any doubts or questions, we will let you know even before the call. So we don't waste each other's time.

03

We will extend an invitation to our office, where we will provide you with a technical project overview and get to know your technical background. You will also have a chance to get to meet part of the crew.

04

After that, the ball's in both our courts. We'll figure out together if we want to take this further. Finally, we just send an official offer and initiate an onboarding.
