Job description
Trask is a Czech technology consulting company with more than 30 years of history. We help companies design, build, and operate critical IT solutions that must work today and in 10 years’ time.
At Trask, we build and operate enterprise platforms on which critical systems of Czech and international companies run – banking, telecom, energy, logistics.

We work with OpenShift as the standard for enterprise Kubernetes and consider GitOps the default, not a buzzword.

- Collaborate with architects, security, and application teams.

- DevOps & Automation: ArgoCD, Ansible / AWX, Git, GitHub, GitLab CI/CD, IaC.

- OS & Scripting: RHEL / CentOS / Oracle Linux, Bash, basics of Go, PowerShell / PowerCLI.
- Kubernetes Programming: CRDs, Operators, custom platform extensions.
What are we offering
- Working Hours Tailored to You: Flexible working hours according to individual needs.
- Vacation and Time Off: Guaranteed 5 weeks of vacation and 3 sick days.
- Flexible Working Environment: Possibility to work from home, company offices, or directly at the client’s site.
- Education: Training, conference participation, e-learning programs, and language courses.
- Refreshments at the Workplace: A varied selection including cookies, fruit, coffee, and hot chocolate.
