We’re a product company in the cybersecurity/identity space. That means real engineering problems (security, scale, correctness, reliability), real ownership (you build it, you run it), and real influence (strong partnership with Product, not ticket-taking).\nWhy This Role Is Different\nModern stack, by design: We stay on the newest Java LTS and the newest Spring Framework (security expectations make this non-negotiable - and it’s a great side effect for engineers).\nPragmatic testing: We value confidence over coverage. Integration-first where it matters. Minimal mocking. Tests that catch real issues.\nStrong CI/CD culture: Automated pipelines, multiple test layers, fast feedback, high signal.\nTrue ownership: We deploy to production ourselves and own the full lifecycle.\nAI-enabled engineering (for real): Company-backed initiative with tooling, guidelines, and people driving adoption - great opportunity to level up how you use AI effectively.\nVoice and influence: Engineers are expected to speak up, challenge solutions, and improve the platform, even beyond our team boundaries.\nWhat You’ll Do\nDesign and deliver backend services where security, correctness, and maintainability are first-class requirements.\nBreak down ambiguous, high-impact problems into a clear plan and ship iteratively.\nCollaborate closely with Product to craft solutions that are both technically sound and user-aware.\nImprove platform-wide concerns: reliability, observability, performance, developer experience, and deployment safety.\nRaise the bar through thoughtful code reviews, pragmatic architecture decisions, and knowledge sharing.\nOur Tech Stack (High-Level)\nJava (latest LTS), Spring Framework (latest)\nKubernetes, Helm, Skaffold, GitOps\nAWS\nCI/CD with extensive automated testing\nStrong automation mindset across build, deploy, and operations\nWhat We’re Looking For\nMust-Haves\n8+ years of professional software engineering experience\nDeep expertise in Java and strong hands-on experience with Spring\n\nExcellent communication and collaboration skills\nFluent English (spoken and written)\nAbility to work autonomously: you can take a big problem, de-risk it, and drive it to completion, while pulling others in when needed\nStrong engineering intuition: you challenge weak solutions, avoid “bare minimum,” and care about long-term quality\nHow You Work\nYou like clarity, but you’re not blocked by ambiguity\nYou optimize for outcomes, not just activity\nYou enjoy improving shared foundations (platform, tooling, patterns), not only “your” service\nBonus Points (Nice to Have, Not Required)\nIf you don’t have these yet - curiosity and the willingness to learn matter more. We’ll help you grow through hands-on work with experienced engineers.\nAuthN/AuthZ flows: OIDC, OAuth2, MFA, WebAuthn, SAML, SCIM\nCIAM/IAM concepts: consent, identity lifecycle, federation, credential management, RBAC, token-based security\nDistributed systems / event-driven experience where scale, availability, and consistency matter\nObservability & performance tuning: metrics/tracing, JVM optimization, load testing\nCryptography fundamentals: key management, secure hashing, TLS, JWT signing\nMulti-tenant architectures: data isolation, secure configuration management\nIaC / DevOps: Terraform, CloudFormation, GitOps workflows\nBalanced testing strategy: contract tests, integration-first, minimal mocking, maintainable test suites\nWhat You Get\nHigh-impact work in a security domain that genuinely matters\nModern Java + Spring, with a team that actively keeps tech current\nA culture of ownership: build, ship, operate, improve\nStrong DevEx focus and automation mindset\nFree access to Udemy courses\nMentorship, onboarding, and an environment where learning is expected and supported\nHiring Process (Transparent and Respectful)\nStep 1: Intro call (mutual fit, expectations)\nStep 2: Technical conversation focused on real-world backend engineering with practical exercise and deep-dive discussion (designed to be relevant, not “leetcode theatre”)\nStep 3: Final team / culture conversation\nReady to Build Secure, Modern Backend Systems in Prague?\nApply with your CV or LinkedIn profile.\nYou can also check out our company on Atmoskop - https://www.atmoskop.cz/nazory-na-zamestnavatele/3077450-thales-dis-czech-republic-s-r-o\nAt Thales we provide CAREERS and not only jobs.
