We're building the future of search technology with a focus on scalable infrastructure, cloud-native solutions, and developer productivity. Our platform engineering team works on the cutting-edge of Kubernetes deployments, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure-as-code to support our distributed search engine.

We're a small but ambitious team, headquartered in San Francisco with a growing engineering hub in Prague, Czech Republic. As a Platform Engineer in our Prague office, you'll be responsible for creating a robust infrastructure that enables our search technology to handle complex queries at scale while ensuring our development team can innovate rapidly and deploy with confidence.

Culture

Innovation-first. Every team member is encouraged to think outside the box, challenge existing designs, and bring fresh ideas to the table.

Ownership. We don't have junior/senior titles - we hire skilled and talented people to take full ownership of their domain and empower them to build the best solutions possible.

Agency. We're a flat team of doers - no professional managers. When something needs fixing, we don't wait for permission, we just make it better.

Vibe. We’re a team of kind, authentic people who share a common hobby - building cool shit.

About the role

You will be building the infrastructure for the TopK engine to run on, as well as creating tools to maximize your colleagues' productivity.

Your job will be:

  1. Building and operating a Kubernetes-based platform to efficiently & safely deliver our distributed system to customers. High-availability, low-latency, and correctness.
  2. Operating delivery pipelines at scale (multi-region, multi-cloud, cloud & cloud prem). We deploy many times a day.
  3. Maintaining speedy build and test pipelines. Developer productivity is a core value at TopK. From PR to production in <15mins.
  4. Creating tools that streamline testing, benchmarking, and experimentation for your fellow engineers. The more the engineers can experiment, the better.
