Team Lead / Cloud Solution Architect (AWS)

👉 We work in a hybrid mode - we offer up to 12 days of Home Office monthly.

👉 We offer work agreement.

We’re looking for a technical team leader who combines people leadership with hands-on architecture work in AWS.

You’ll lead a team of 7 engineers working on an ingestion gateway for the ESET XDR platform — a system processing large volumes of security data for enterprise customers.
This is not a pure management role — you’re expected to stay close to the technology, shape architecture decisions, and actively help the team solve technical challenges.
Expected split: ~70% technical / 30% leadership.
The team is primarily based in Kraków (Poland), with members in Brno (Czechia), and collaborates with HQ in Bratislava (Slovakia).

 What you’ll do
* Lead a team of 7 engineers (mentoring, feedback, growth)
* Act as a technical authority for AWS infrastructure and services
* Design and review cloud architecture (scalability, reliability, security)
* Work closely with product and engineering stakeholders on priorities and delivery
* Improve engineering practices (CI/CD, observability, automation)
* Stay hands-on when needed (code reviews, debugging, unblocking the team)

 What we expect
* Experience leading a technical team (or strong senior ready to step up)
* Solid experience with AWS and cloud architecture design
* Ability to design and operate distributed systems
* Experience with at least one programming language (e.g. C#, Python)
* Good understanding of:
  CI/CD
  infrastructure as code
  high availability & security principles
Strong communication skills and cross-team collaboration
* English proficiency (daily communication)

 Nice to have
* Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform
* Experience with high-throughput / data ingestion systems
* Polish (B2+)

 Why this role
* Real impact on a production security platform used by enterprise customers
* Balance between leadership and technical work
* Opportunity to influence architecture, not just maintain it

⭐ Bonus:

We offer yearly bonus in the amount of up to 14%, performance dependent.

🎁 Benefits:

In our comfy office you will find not only a lot of space, comfortable chairs and sit-stand desks, good coffee and other beverages and snacks, but also parking place, shower, play station and massage chairs:)

We celebrate important moments with our employees by granting them marriage, childbirth, work anniversary allowance, we organize events (teambuildings, family day, christmas party and more), we offer sport subscription or sport&culture card, nice meal prepaid card, payback for commuters, private healthcare and 3 paid sickleaves per year.

If you feel like joining our team, please apply and we will contact you soon. Our interview consists of two parts - technical and HR.

At ESET, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are integral to our corporate culture. We are a proud signatory and ambassador of the Diversity Charter.* We believe in creating a respectful environment, where everyone feels valued and respected, welcoming applications from individuals of all backgrounds, including race, gender, age, religion, disability, and sexual orientation.
