So, what’s the role all about?
We are looking at NICE for an experienced Engineering Manager to lead our two key Czech teams: one developing an innovative AI product for customer service automation, and the other a DevOps team operating a global SaaS product for digital customer experience in the AWS cloud — used by some of the largest companies in the world.

This is a global role, requiring collaboration with teams across multiple continents.

Our product and its traffic grow by hundreds of percent every year. We use advanced technologies, have a mature product with a robust infrastructure, operate dozens of data centers (all on AWS), and continuously strive to improve and automate our processes while tackling many exciting technical challenges.
