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.
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.
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.
