About the role

We're looking for a Head of R&D — someone who combines strong technical leadership with a product-oriented mindset. You'll own the engineering strategy, lead development teams, and stay closely connected to product goals — from discovery through delivery. This is a role for someone equally comfortable discussing system architecture and talking OKRs with the business.

Responsibilities

• Lead multiple engineering teams through Team Leads — set direction, unblock teams, and develop people
• Own end-to-end delivery: backlog planning, prioritization, progress tracking, and release management
• Serve as the primary interface between Engineering and Product Management — translate product vision into technical decisions
• Mentor Team Leads and senior engineers in their professional growth
• Define and drive engineering standards: CI/CD, automated testing, code review, and performance monitoring
• Participate in product discovery: shape hypotheses, analyse metrics, and influence the roadmap
• Identify technology opportunities — including AI/ML — and translate them into concrete product and engineering initiatives
• Run regular 1:1s, performance reviews, and people processes in partnership with the HR team

Requirements

• 7+ years in software engineering, with 3+ years in an engineering or product leadership role
• Strong engineering background — you can engage at the architecture, code review, and technical decision-making level
• Proven experience leading multi-disciplinary Agile teams (Scrum, Kanban)
• Solid hands-on knowledge of CI/CD, automated testing, release management, and monitoring practices (Atlassian, Git, etc.)
• Understanding of current AI trends with practical experience applying them — whether to optimize workflows or build intelligent product features
• Ability to read product metrics, interpret A/B experiments, and make data-driven decisions
• Excellent communication skills — you can make complexity simple for both engineers and business stakeholders
• English B2+ 

Nice to have

• Experience in live streaming, mobile applications, or high-concurrency consumer platforms
• Background in gaming, entertainment tech, or creator economy products
• Experience working in international teams distributed across multiple time zones

What we offer

• International company with several offices in different locations : Tel-Aviv, Kyiv, Warsaw, Limassol.
• Granting an Option;
• A professional environment with great people to work with;
• Competitive salary, performance review;
• Flexible working hours, no one here tracks your work time because our culture is built on trust and cooperation;
• Social and welfare packages;
• 20 working days paid vacation and 100% sick leaves coverage;
• Opportunities to make a difference, to develop and grow;
• Regular corporate celebrations, team buildings and fun activities;
• Comfortable office close to the metro station. Our Kyiv office is open 24/7 with all safety and health measures in place.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We’re looking for a hands-on junior IT support engineer to be our go-to person in the Kyiv office. You’ll handle day-to-day hardware and software support for colleagues, manage equipment, and work closely with the Corp-IT team spread across Warsaw, Tel Aviv, and Limassol. This is a great opportunity to grow into a full sysadmin role - you’ll get exposure to modern cloud-based infrastructure and enterprise tooling from day one.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Be the first point of contact for IT issues in the Kyiv office (hardware, software, connectivity, accounts)
• Set up and configure laptops (macOS and Windows) for new hires, including enrollment in MDM
• Handle onboarding and offboarding tasks: account provisioning, equipment hand-off, asset tracking
• Troubleshoot network and Wi-Fi issues in the office; escalate to senior engineers when needed
• Manage and track IT inventory (laptops, peripherals, accessories)
• Process IT requests via our helpdesk system (Jira Service Management)
• Purchase the IT equipment 
• Follow and improve documentation for common support procedures in Confluence

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• Basic understanding of networking: IP addressing, DHCP, DNS, Wi-Fi troubleshooting
• Comfortable working with both macOS and Windows in a corporate environment
• Familiarity with Google Workspace (Gmail, Drive, Meet, Admin basics)
• Understanding of user account lifecycle: creation, access management, password resets
• Ability to follow runbooks and document your own steps clearly
• Good communication skills - able to explain technical issues to non-technical colleagues
• Responsible and reliable: office presence is critical, this role cannot be done remotely
• Intermediate English: enough to read technical documentation and communicate in writing with the global team

NICE TO HAVE 

Any of the following is a bonus, not a dealbreaker:

  Okta / SSO basics     

  Jamf or Intune experience     

  CLI / basic scripting     

  FortiNet / VPN awareness     

  Previous helpdesk role     

  IT course or certification     

WHAT WE OFFER

• A real learning environment with hands-on mentorship from experienced engineers
• Gradual exposure to modern enterprise tools: Okta, Jamf, Intune, GCP, CrowdStrike, Cloudflare
• A collaborative, distributed Corp-IT team across four countries
• A clear path to grow into a full sysadmin role over time

Responsibilities

• Own corporate identity in Okta: user lifecycle, group-based access, SSO/SAML/SCIM app integrations, MFA, and automated joiner-mover-leaver flows.
• Own and evolve the corporate network across offices: LAN/WiFi, switching, routing, VLAN segmentation, DHCP/DNS, and VPN — design, configuration, and L3 troubleshooting.
• Own FortiGate firewalls: policy, segmentation, and VPN, in partnership with security.
• Own the corporate GCP footprint: IAM, PAM, VPC and cloud networking, firewall rules, and the services backing corporate tooling.
• Administer Google Workspace at the org level.
• Use GitLab as the backbone for configuration-as-code, CI/CD, and IaC: manage repos and pipelines for IT automation.
• Build automation that removes manual work and JML toil: scripting (Bash, Python) and API integration across Okta, Google Workspace, JSM, and GCP.
• Author the runbooks and configuration-as-code that onsite engineers operate from
• Provide L3 escalation for identity, network, cloud, and SaaS issues the onsite tier cannot resolve.
• Configure MDM
• Keep technical documentation current.

Requirements

• 4+ years in infrastructure / systems / network engineering, ideally at a cloud-native company.
• Strong networking — hands-on design and troubleshooting of LAN/WiFi, switching, routing, VLANs, DHCP/DNS, and VPN.
• Okta hands-on: user lifecycle, SSO/SAML/SCIM integrations, MFA.
• GCP: IAM and cloud networking (VPC, firewall rules, routing).
• Google Workspace administration.
• GitLab: repositories, CI/CD pipelines.
• IaC workflows (terraform).
• Demonstrable automation/scripting (Bash, Python) with real examples you can walk us through.
• Good security instincts: credential hygiene, segmentation, patching urgency, incident discipline.
• Functional English — enough to coordinate with the global team and document your work clearly. Writing polish can lean on AI tooling; what matters is that your documentation and updates are accurate and understandable.

Nice to have

• Jamf / Intune MDM
• Certificate-based access: SCEP, LDAP, RADIUS.
• FortiGate hands-on: policy, VPN, and segmentation.
• ZTNA (Zero Trust Network Access) concepts and rollout experience.
• AI-assisted IT operations — building tier-0 deflection in JSM/Slack, ticket triage/summarization, or agentic runbooks.
• HRIS-driven identity automation.
