      • Start discussion with answers to these 2 questions - to see if it makes sense to apply to the job post:
        1. What is your related library-level, system-level or networking-related experience from work or hobby projects?
        2. Describe some interesting technical challenge (ideally related to the job). An investigation, bug fix or feature, etc. Something you are proud of.
    • Details:
      • Library-level = producing libraries used by multiple projects, ideally by multiple companies.
      • System-level = anything low-level, close to OS APIs, drivers, HW interaction, or some non-trivial backend (e.g. difficult multi-threading, scale).
      • Networking = libraries / APIs / protocols operating on network to communicate between computers. Server-side, or client-sie, or both.

Basic infornation:

  • Location: Czech Republic (anywhere in CZ, not restricted to Prague only)
  • Remote: Yes (from Czech Republic)
    • Note: Sorry, we do not consider remote positions from outside Czech Republic at this moment due to hiring policy (not a manager decision or choice).
  • Relocation: Yes
  • Visa sponsorship: Yes

International teams working across time-zones

Most positions are into teams that are partially or fully located in Czech Republic. However, the teams are part of larger international teams working across time-zones (esp. in US West-coast time-zone - PT, which is 9 hours behind CET time-zone in Europe, so 9am PT is 18 CET). Expect that the job will require also occasional availability in US West-coast business hours.

It does not mean you have to work more or longer hours! Your work hours will be flexible, but the job will require you at times to attend some meetings, or communicate with some colleagues at hours outside of “classic” European business hours. While it is manageable, it is something to consider as it may impact your established schedule and it may require some flexibility from your side.

If you have questions, or concerns, please bring it up in your discussion with recruiters or hiring managers.
