  • Contribute to build and release processes, automation and software delivery.
  • Test, debug and improve software stability and reliability.
  • Collaborate with Applications, Electronics, Hardware and Service teams.

What You’ll Bring

  • Knowledge of C++, Python, C# or a comparable programming language.
  • An interest in backend development and in understanding how software interacts with hardware.
  • Experience with, or an interest in, DevOps, build systems, CI/CD or release engineering.
  • A structured approach to technical problem-solving and debugging.
  • Good communication skills and the ability to collaborate across teams.
  • Good working English for regular collaboration in an international environment.
  • Electrical competence in accordance with Government Regulation No. 194/2022 Coll., or eligibility to obtain it.
