## Job description

Company Overview Rohlik Group is building the future of online grocery — delivering 25,000 SKUs in under three hours across multiple European markets. But this isn't just a logistics problem. We're engineering the shift to agentic-first development, rethinking how software gets built so we can ship faster without compromising the quality our customers expect. Our engineers work on problems that sit at the intersection of AI, real-time operations, and consumer experience. Whether it's driving our warehouses toward lights-out operations, bringing agentic shopping to our web and app products, or building the internal systems that power one of Europe's fastest-growing grocery platforms — the technical challenges here are real and unsolved.

Department Overview 100+ engineers across Product Engineering, Platform & SRE, Machine Learning, AI, and Data. We work in compact cells of 3-8 people, each owning a specific problem with clear KPIs. We're AI-native — Claude Code and Devin are part of our daily workflow, not a pilot. We ship fast, we build with the best tools available, and we don't hide behind process when we could be shipping.

## Role Overview

You'll own the technical direction for one of Rohlik's core domains — from architecture to delivery. This is a staff-plus individual contributor role: no direct reports, but far-reaching influence across multiple teams and functions. You'll be the person teams turn to when they're stuck on the hardest problems. You'll shape how systems are designed, how trade-offs are evaluated, and how we evolve our platform as we scale across markets. You're accountable for ensuring your domain's systems are architecturally sound, scalable, secure, and aligned with where the company is heading. You'll also play a key role in embedding AI and agentic practices into the stack and developer workflows — helping us move faster while keeping quality high. This means driving the adoption of agentic development, championing automation, and ensuring Rohlik stays on the cutting edge of how modern engineering teams work.

What we expect from you / the position to perform

- Own the long-term technical vision, architecture, and strategic direction of your domain.
- Lead cross-team design discussions, architectural reviews, and delivery of major technical initiatives.
- Partner with Engineering Managers, Product Engineers, and Product Owners to turn business goals into sound technical strategy.
- Drive high standards for security, scalability, and performance — and make them stick.
- Champion agentic-first development practices to help engineers ship faster.
- Make the engineers around you better — through pairing, design reviews, and raising the bar on what "good" looks like.
- Support multiple engineering teams by unblocking complex issues and setting clear technical standards.
- Provide input into group-wide engineering strategy, technology selection, and platform direction.
- Act as the point of escalation for the most complex technical decisions in your domain.

What we look for / what we require Required

- You've designed and scaled large, mission-critical systems that serve real users at scale.
- You've made architectural decisions that teams are still benefiting from years later — and you can articulate the trade-offs you considered.
- You can walk into a room of senior engineers, explain a complex trade-off, and leave with alignment — even without formal authority.
- You have deep expertise in a specific technical domain (e.g., payments, logistics, customer experience, AI/ML) and a track record of shaping its direction.
- You've mentored senior engineers and helped them grow — not just reviewed their code, but changed how they think about problems.
- You're excited about using AI to fundamentally change how engineering teams work — not as a buzzword, but as a real multiplier.
- Proficiency in Java and React. You can find our full stack [here](https://stackshare.io/companies/rohlik-group/stack).

## Preferred

- Experience contributing to open-source projects or presenting at technical conferences.
- Familiarity with multiple programming paradigms and technology stacks.
- Exposure to cross-regional or multi-country technology operations.

What’s in it for you

- Fair reward - You’ll get a strong fixed salary, no bonus games, no politics. Great work is rewarded clearly and fairly.
- Good food every day - You’ll enjoy a free lunch every day and fresh fruit & veggies in the office. Because good food fuels great work.
- Life, not just work - You’ll have real flexibility three days in the office, 2 days at the Home Office where it suits you. And unlimited paid vacation based on trust.
- Personal growth - You’ll grow as fast as Rohlik does. Every challenge is a chance to learn and make an impact.
- Real impact - What you do here matters. You’ll see your work changing how people eat and live from day one.
- Recognition among colleagues - Your effort won’t go unnoticed. You can recognise others (and be recognised) through peer credits to use in our internal cafeteria.
- Xtra membership - You’ll get free Xtra membership and 10% cashback on everything you buy on [Rohlik.cz](http://Rohlik.cz).
- Sport & wellbeing - You’ll stay active with company sports challenges or a subsidised Multisport card.
- A team that sticks together - You’ll work with people who move fast, support each other and celebrate wins together.
- If this sounds like you - You’re someone who takes ownership, acts fast and gets things done. Ready to bake something great with us?
