An Amazing Career Opportunity for a Staff Software Engineer!! 

Location: Prague, Czech Republic

Job ID: 35253

We are looking for an experienced Staff Cloud Engineer to join our excellent PKIasS engineering team based out of Prague, Czech Republic with Scrum Master and Product Owner and architect in US. The ideal applicant will be an independent thinker and proactive problem-solvers, unafraid of complex technical challenges. We provide everyone with the opportunity and support to thrive and reach their highest potential.

The team is responsible for extending and maintaining the existing product, a private/public CA specialized in issuing high volume machine certificates. The expansion plans are both vertical and horizontal (geographic) and both aspects require a high degree of AWS/Cloud competence. The best candidate is the one that combines best practices and engineering excellence together with continuous learning and improvement. At the same time, such a person must be able to accept that part of the job is making sure existing infrastructure is maintained. This requires a passion for automating things as a default approach to any task.

All the qualifications listed below are taken into consideration, but at the same time, HID realizes that successful engineer moves between technologies and domains.

Who are we? 

HID powers the trusted identities of the world’s people, places, and things, allowing people to transact safely, work productively and travel freely.
