Praha
The Daily Banking Cluster in Commerzbank is building the bank’s online banking application. With over 1 million daily users and over 15 million API calls per day and growing, this is one of the largest projects of its kind in Europe. Utilizing modern technologies such as React, Java-based microservices, Oracle, Kafka, Docker and OpenShift, and together with other teams in Prague who are building the partner mobile app, we are building a next-generation online banking experience.
We are now putting together a new team in Prague and looking for best-in-class talent to build a new tool in the online banking portal for our small and medium-sized business customers, helping them to manage their daily finances.
Given the high-profile of the application, this new team has a huge responsibility, making this an intensive, exciting and truly unique opportunity to expand and develop your organizational skills and international experience.
As Tech Lead you will play a leading role in developing the architecture of this new project – from the application landscape right down to the frameworks and standards used. You will work with the engineering team to design solutions together on how to fetch data from remote systems, caching, store data in the database. You will need to discuss together which technologies to use and how best to use them to meet the challenging needs of the project.
Working closely with the TPM and DevOps engineers you will develop CICD infrastructure and deployment processes for the project, as well as solutions for high availability and disaster recovery.
You will be the right-hand of the Product Owner, helping them to understand the technical implications of often complicated requirements, additional technologies and skills required to realise them. You will play a key role in presenting these to the engineering team and work with them to design technical solutions.
The ideal candidate will have a rich technical background in multiple web-based technologies having worked on a variety of projects presenting diverse technical challenges. They will also be highly creative with a strong commitment to teamwork and collaboration.
We are not looking for someone who necessarily always has the best ideas, but rather a compassionate leader who can work with the team to come up with the best ideas together.
