Gain full-stack experience with opportunities to work across frontend and DevOps.
Work in a fully remote environment, with flexible scheduling and an async-first culture.

Solid knowledge of at least one Python web framework (e.g., Django, Flask, FastAPI).
Working knowledge of RESTful and GraphQL APIs, webhooks, and authentication flows.
Familiarity with PostgreSQL, Redis, and Celery is a strong plus.
Git fluency, automated testing, and a performance-aware mindset.
Willingness to contribute to frontend and infrastructure topics.
Good communication skills — ability to talk to non-technical stakeholders and clients.
Fluent in Czech & English (written & spoken).
Previous Shopify experience is appreciated but not required.
Proactive mindset – you’re not waiting for tickets, you’re solving problems.

Why join us

We are not a startup, a "business as usual" company, or even a corporate one. We are a dynamic company that combines the best from each world. A company where people enjoy working and create value.
We don't have any external investors (neither are we looking for any). Everything we do is bootstrapped. We do things our way – things that just make sense to us and our clients. Common sense, data quality and customer focus are our core values.
If you're interested in e-commerce, you will have the opportunity to cooperate with experts from companies like Google or Gen.
The apps and online stores that we create have a significant impact on the businesses of our partners, often seen immediately. We are confident in our ability to provide additional value and enhance our clients' overall success.
We operate as a truly remote-first and async-first company, allowing you to choose your place and time for work. We care about outputs and results.
