    Job description

    About IP Fabric 

    Join a pioneering force in network automation!

    At IP Fabric, we enable people to uncover the truth about their networks. Built by network professionals and industry experts, our innovative solutions are transforming how enterprises manage their networks. As a post-Series B company, we're expanding rapidly across Europe, the U.S., and beyond.

    Read this first

    This is a software engineering role on the product platform. We don't operate a cloud service. IP Fabric ships as an on-premises virtual appliance that customers run in their own environments, often with restricted or no internet access. We build it ourselves from bare Debian to a finished image and ship it in versioned releases. You'll write Python and TypeScript every week, working close to Linux, packaging, and the release pipeline. If most of your background is operating AWS/GCP/Azure infrastructure, this role will feel quite different.

    About the Role

    We are looking for a hands-on DevOps Engineer – Platform to join our Platform team and help evolve the foundations of the IP Fabric product.
    Our Platform team is focused on making the product more stable, elegant to develop, performant, and secure.
    The work sits at the intersection of software engineering, Linux, CI/CD, containers, quality, and developer experience.
    Over the coming months, some of our biggest challenges include decomposing parts of our monolithic application into cleaner modules or services, modernizing deployment from a Debian package-based model toward containers, improving build and testing pipelines, and creating a much better local-development experience.
    This is not a traditional infrastructure-operations DevOps position.
    You will work directly on the product platform and the engineering systems surrounding it.
    We are hiring at either L2 or L3.
    Both levels are hands-on. The difference is primarily the scope you can own independently.

    What You'll Do

    • Build and improve product-platform components and tooling using Python and TypeScript
    • Help evolve the application from a monolithic structure toward cleaner modules and/or services
    • Contribute to the design and implementation of our next-generation deployment model
    • Help move the product from Debian package-oriented deployment toward an appropriate container-based approach
    • Build, improve, and troubleshoot CI/CD pipelines
    • Improve build and testing infrastructure
    • Make local product development easier and more reliable
    • Work with Kubernetes and containerized workloads
    • Troubleshoot issues across application, runtime, container, Linux, and CI/CD boundaries
    • Improve platform stability, performance, maintainability, and developer experience
    • Participate in technical discussions and code reviews
    • Collaborate closely with engineers across the product organization
    • Apply good engineering practices around testing, observability, maintainability, and software quality
    • Contribute to software hardening and secure engineering practices where appropriate

    L2 / L3 Expectations

    L2

    At L2, you should be able to independently deliver a defined technical task end to end.
    Once the task and expected outcome are clear, you can determine the implementation, investigate unknowns, write and test the solution, troubleshoot issues, and drive the change through completion without close technical supervision.

    L3

    At L3, you should additionally be comfortable working from a broader technical goal.
    Once familiar with the platform, you can identify what needs to change, break broader goals into concrete work, propose solutions, explain tradeoffs, and lead implementation.
    You are also expected to contribute meaningfully to technical decisions led by other engineers.

    What You'll Need

    • Strong GNU/Linux fundamentals
    • Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills
    • Hands-on experience with containers
    • Practical Kubernetes knowledge, or very strong relevant fundamentals and the ability to become productive quickly
    • Experience building, maintaining, or improving CI/CD pipelines
    • Software-development experience in Python and/or TypeScript
    • Ability to independently own technical implementation
    • Understanding of modern software-engineering practices, including testing and version control
    • Strong written and verbal communication skills in English
    • Ability to collaborate effectively in a remote engineering team
    • EU citizenship or other eligibility to work in the EU

    Bonus Points

    • Experience with both Python and TypeScript
    • Understanding of the Node.js runtime and ecosystem
    • Experience modernizing application deployment
    • Experience migrating workloads toward containers
    • Experience decomposing monolithic applications
    • Experience with developer tooling or Developer Experience / DevEx
    • Experience improving local-development environments
    • Experience with build systems and testing infrastructure
    • Software-hardening or application/platform security experience
    • Experience improving performance or reliability of product platforms

    How We Work

    • Remote-first team
    • Primarily CET-based
    • English as the working language
    • Prague office available as an option for local employees
    • Hands-on engineering culture
    • Collaborative technical decision-making
    • Engineers are expected to understand the problems they are solving, not simply execute tickets

    Benefits & Perks

    • 25 days of holidays + 5 flexi-days.
    • Pluxee Flexi Card (up to 16 000 CZK per year - valid only for Czech employees)
    • Full remote or hybrid role depending on your choice.
    • Anniversary rewards.
    • Collaboration with diverse, international teams. 
    • A pet-friendly office in the center of beautiful Prague.
    • Complementary and yummy snacks, coffee, brew and refreshments in the office.
    • Regular team and company events.

    Join us to experience the unique culture of a founder-led startup, where from top to bottom everyone is hands-on and has a chance to make a tangible impact on influential enterprises worldwide. Being part of IP Fabric means being part of a flexible environment that prioritizes work-life balance and growth opportunities.
