Manager, Software Engineering - DevOps

We are expanding our Global footprint into Prague and as we build out our Product & Engineering teams, we are looking for a Manager of Software Engineering. In this role you'll lead our DevOps team in Prague and deliver state-of-the-art cloud applications hosted in AWS.  As a manager in our Platform Delivery team, you’ll have the opportunity to contribute to a high-profile group that plays a critical role in the organization.
