Product‑Oriented Software Engineer in a Managerless R&D Team
Y Soft
Apply to this jobWe're expanding our R&D division, opening 30 positions for programmers looking to work with Cloud and AI. Join our existing 130 developers, spread across 18 teams, in a unique managerless organization that's all about individual responsibility, trust, and solving real problems (not just cranking out code).
Whether you’re a seasoned junior or a senior-level dev, what matters the most is your technical curiosity, eagerness to learn across domains, and motivation to keep pushing the team and yourself forward.
WHAT WE OFFER:
- A manager-less structure. No micromanagement. No status pyramids. Everyone has a say, and it counts.
- Full-stack experience. You can shape the product from UI to backend and cloud orchestration. We’re not boxed into roles.
- A “stuff diving” mindset. We work with what’s needed, apply the right principles, and carry lessons across technologies.
- Freedom to grow. If you like exploring new things like DevOps, functional programming, frontends, whatever we’ve got space for it.
- Peer-driven culture. We build things together, review each other’s code, and hold regular knowledge-sharing sessions.
- Home office is not a benefit; it is a standard – we are used to working in a hybrid model, based on team agreement.
WHAT WE EXPECT FROM YOU:
Must have:
- Java proficiency, or solid experience with another OOP language and a willingness to switch
- Genuine interest in functional programming. Scala is our backend language of choice, and we’ll help you get there
- Experience and interest in AI - Our strategy focuses on robust automation that blends innovative research with real-world enterprise needs, moving beyond basic chatbot integration.
- Readiness to drive things forward, whether it be through tech exploration, pair programming, or sharing your insights
- Ability to switch context and stay comfortable outside a single tech stack
- Curiosity, responsibility, and a desire to get things done, not because you’re told, but because it excites joy
- Fluent in Czech/Slovak + English at least B2
Nice to have
- Experience with any functional or multi-paradigm language: Scala, JavaScript, Python, etc.
- DevOps awareness: Kubernetes, ArgoCD, Bamboo, shell scripting
