The posting

Brno, Czech Republic | Hybrid | Full-time | Engineering

About the Role

At Kiwi.com, we are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to build AI-powered, real-time travel technology for our Flight Experience products in Brno, Czech Republic. You will use Python, microservices, REST APIs, PostgreSQL, Redis, RabbitMQ and cloud technologies to build scalable backend systems for automated check-in, flight disruption handling, baggage and seating.

About the Flight Experience Team

We own the three travel essentials that give customers total peace of mind: securing bags and seats, delivering a frictionless check-in experience, and providing an instant safety net when plans go sideways. Operating in small, AI-native engineering teams, we build and own end-to-end features like automated check-in systems, live terminal tracking, and instant disruption refunds—shipping fast, iterating in real time, and letting data keep us honest.

What you will do

- Drive AI-powered innovation across our core stack by supporting the build of highly efficient, real-time solutions for disruption handling, automated check-in, baggage, and seating.

- Ensure engineering excellence by taking complete ownership of holistic solutions, writing maintainable code, and fostering robust unit, integration, and manual testing practices.

- Think beyond the codebase by leveraging product and business metrics to uncover real traveler needs and shape high-impact technical features through shared insights.

- Collaborate for success in a highly supportive, cross-functional environment alongside Product Managers, UX Designers, Data experts, and neighboring engineering teams.

- Ship early and iterate fast to continually refine live services, bringing ideas to life and moving from initial concept to production deployment with trust and autonomy.

What you will need

- A proven track record of accelerating development using AI-native tools like Cursor or Claude Code to streamline workflow cycles, nurture efficient processes, and maximize daily R&D output.

- You have advanced knowledge of Python development, writing clean, stable, and maintainable production code, with working familiarity with Golang as a welcome plus.

- Proven experience designing scalable systems using microservices, REST principles, and collaborative asynchronous messaging architectures like Celery and RabbitMQ.

- You bring senior-level experience with hands-on data management using PostgreSQL and Redis, combined with a data-driven familiarity with BigQuery to optimize data flows.

- You can demonstrate your skills in solving complex problems by using an empathetic, analytical mindset to evaluate technical paths, debug intricate multi-system issues, and develop sustainable fixes.

- You bring a proven track record of owning projects end-to-end from inception to production, sharing responsibility for safe deployments and nurturing cloud infrastructure reliability.

- You thrive in high-autonomy environments, taking initiative to resolve blockers independently while maintaining professional proficiency in English (written and verbal) to communicate with clarity, openness, and empathy.

We offer you

- We give our employees the freedom to choose between the environment of work from home and our modern office located in ZET Nová Zbrojovka with an in-house gym, masseur, sleeping spots, canteen, showers, chillout zones, free refreshments, Rebelbeans coffee, garage for cars/motorbikes/bicycles.

- We enjoy benefits, such as meal vouchers, 25 days of paid vacation, Cafeteria, sick days, VIP Medical Care, Multisport card, Makro Cash & Carry Card, Employee Assistance Program, and career development framework.

- Annual financial bonus based on company and individual performance.

- Relocation package (including visa transfer support).

- Flight vouchers to celebrate your Kiwi anniversaries.

- Grow.Kiwi program which supports parents and keeps them engaged with the company.

- Dogs are welcome in our offices.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
