After acquiring Addepto last year, our company decided to take next big step and started operating on the Czech job market.
Grape Up is a consulting & technology company that helps enterprises create the most essential applications by leveraging AI & cloud-native technologies and modern ways of delivering software.
We provide software development and consulting services for major automotive brands, insurers and mobility providers, enabling them to create a software-centric future and leverage data-driven innovation.
The company operates globally with a primary focus on US and Western European markets. Grape Up employs 150+ technology experts and has over 10 years of experience in applying modern technology and DevOps practices.
For the last few years, we have been continuously growing and in order to support our growth, we have decided to open a new R&D center in Prague. We already have several R&D centers in Poland (Kraków, Białystok, Wrocław and Warsaw), therefore we wanted to enter a new job market to broaden the pool of available tech talent.
We have decided to choose Prague for several reasons:
- It is a large tech hub with a lot of IT expertise and tech talent available - supported by high ranking technical universities.
- Czech software engineers are known for their skills and competencies, being ranked in the world top 10 overall.
- It is conveniently based- in the heart of Europe, only a few hours’ drive from our other locations in Kraków and Wrocław. At Grape Up we prioritize company culture and integration of employees, therefore it is vital to be able to easily get in touch with the other Grape Up people.
The Prague office will be a fully-fledged R&D development center where engineers will work on developing AI & Cloud solutions for our enterprise customers - primarily from automotive and insurance industries – such as Porsche, Rolls-Royce, Hertz, Europcar and Allstate.
This year we want to start with a small branch of 10 people, build a strong brand awareness on the job market and expand to ~40-50 people next year. Currently we have open positions for the Project Manager, Senior Java Cloud Developers and Java Cloud Developers.
We offer our employees a possibility to work on interesting projects that have a real impact on our customers' businesses. We leverage modern technologies - including AI, Machine Learning, Cloud-Native platforms, IoT and Telematics – and offer a wide range of benefits such as Multisport Card, 25 days of holidays, technical and soft skills training, mental health support platform, language classes and referral programs.
Remote work is possible, however we highly value face-2-face collaboration and a possibility to meet in person. We also have a set of transparent guidelines on how Grape Up employees can grow and upgrade their skills with us.
Our culture is something we all share at Grape Up. There are five values that guide us at work each day:
- Deliver Value, which means that we start our work by answering the question: „Why?” and at the end recommend the solutions that we trust
- Win & Lose As A Team – together we take responsibility for success and failure.
- Drive Change – we take the initiative, the change begins with us.
- Listen & Speak - we are open and talk about things that are important to us.
- Have Fun - we celebrate different occasions and we celebrate without any occasion.
We care about hiring people who match our culture. We believe we can also find them in Prague and will make them feel at home here as well.
