Knihobot is a re-commerce platform where over 5 million books have already circulated. Every day, we send around 12,000 books to new homes and gain 10,000 new customers. We aim to double these figures within a year. We’re among the top 10 fastest-growing tech startups in the CEE region and have won the Heureka ShopRoku award for 2021, 2022, and 2023.

We operate in four European markets (CZ, SK, AT, and DE), and we’ve recently raised €4 million in another investment round to fuel our growth, especially in Germany. IT will play a key role in this expansion. Sounds exciting? Check out the position and join us in conquering the European book market!

Who we’re looking for:

  • You have recent experience leading a DevOps team, with at least 1 year of leadership experience.
  • You’ll remain hands-on for about 70% of your time and should be experienced with AWS & Kubernetes.
  • You can quickly get up to speed with our infrastructure and help relieve our CTO David by taking over a range of responsibilities.
  • You’re not afraid to propose new solutions and can independently choose the most efficient technological strategies for your team.

Your responsibilities:

  • Have a clear overview of what’s happening in the team and the broader context.
  • Ensure the delivery of results that align with requirements and priorities.
  • Regularly report to the CTO and sync with the Product Manager.
  • Represent the entire team and be the main contact for the Platform team.
  • Organize team demos/presentations.
  • Assist Product with ticketing and estimations.
  • Help manage sprints to ensure everything is well planned and completed on time.
  • Moderate daily stand-ups.

Current and upcoming Platform team projects:

  • Cost optimization.
  • Building Next.js with static file offload to S3 + routing.
  • PR environment optimization.
  • Development of Manticore autoscaling.
  • Alerts and dashboards for everything—we need to know about infrastructure issues before they happen, or at least before customer support does.
  • Define “blueprints” so developers can easily set up monitoring for their features.

DevOps Tech Stack:

  • Kubernetes, AWS.
  • Terraform, ArgoCD, GitHub Actions, Prometheus, Loki, Manticore Search, Redis, Kafka.

How we work:

  • The Platform team currently consists of about 3.5 people, including CTO David Gazdoš. There are 14 developers overall.

  • We work out of offices near Kolbenova metro station, and the occasional home office is possible.

What we offer:

  • Work with awesome people like Product Manager Filip, internal systems guru Simon, and CTO David. The team has a great atmosphere—we sometimes grab a beer or go rock climbing together.
  • We build everything in-house, so there’s a wide variety of problems to solve—you won’t get bored, and there’s always something to work on and innovate.
  • An incredible opportunity to have a significant impact on Knihobot’s success and grow along with it at an incredible pace.
  • MultiSport card, employee discounts on buying and selling books, and discounts with partners.
  • Professional development budget.
  • Option to gain ESOP (employee stock ownership plan) and have a financial stake in the company’s success.
  • A relaxed environment and a pragmatic approach to getting things done.
