Lead systems engineer

Mikrocop is a medium-sized Slovenian company specializing in the development of advanced IT solutions. As the complexity of our products and infrastructure grows, we are expanding our team and inviting a Lead Systems Engineer to design and lead the architecture of the company’s entire IT system and ensure the smooth operation of IT services in our private cloud.

Why join us:

  • You’ll become part of a young, dynamic development team where your creativity and user-focused mindset will help shape the InDoc EDGE platform.
  • Together with developers, architects, and product managers, you’ll explore questions like “How can we improve the user experience of this process?” and “How can users achieve their goals as quickly as possible?”
  • We actively support employee growth and knowledge sharing—within teams and across departments—through internal workshops, brainstorming sessions, training programs, conferences, and access to online learning resources.
  • You’ll be supported by a mentor who will help you settle into the new environment, introduce you to our company culture, and gradually involve you in your responsibilities through smaller initial tasks.
  • As the saying goes, “a healthy mind in a healthy body,” we promote a relaxed work environment with flexible hours, as well as both office and remote work options to support a healthy work-life balance.
  • We also organize a variety of social events—from picnics and holiday parties to sports activities, cultural events, and team lunches.

As a Lead Systems Engineer, you will …

  • Design and define the overall architecture of the company’s IT systems.
  • Plan, implement, and manage a private cloud to support key business and development processes.
  • Take technical ownership of projects related to infrastructure, virtualization, high availability, scalability, and security.
  • Work closely with development, DevOps, and security teams to integrate system solutions into production environments.
  • Optimize existing systems and introduce best practices for automation and system management.
  • Troubleshoot complex issues and develop long-term strategies to ensure infrastructure stability and growth.
  • Create technical documentation and define standards for internal infrastructure architecture.

What we’re looking for:

  • Strong expertise in Windows Server platforms (Active Directory, GPO, security mechanisms, server services).
  • Hands-on experience with VMware virtualization solutions (vSphere, ESXi, vCenter), including configuration and optimization.
  • Experience with container environments, especially Docker Swarm, and a solid understanding of containerization and orchestration.
  • In-depth knowledge of Microsoft SQL Server (administration, configuration, optimization, HA/DR).
  • Practical experience with search and analytics platforms such as Elasticsearch.
  • At least 5 years of experience in systems engineering; experience with complex system architectures is a strong advantage.
  • Good understanding of networking concepts and technologies (TCP/IP, VLAN, VPN, firewalls, load balancing).
  • Familiarity with security best practices, backup and recovery strategies, and HA/DR concepts.
  • Strong sense of ownership, analytical thinking, and the ability to lead technical projects.
  • Excellent command of technical terminology in both Slovenian and English.

What we offer:

  • A key role in shaping and developing the company’s infrastructure architecture.
  • The opportunity to influence long-term technology strategy.
  • Work within a highly skilled team that values knowledge sharing, innovation, and technical excellence.
  • Flexible working hours, hybrid work options, and opportunities for further training and development.
  • A competitive salary based on your experience and achievements, with clear opportunities for career growth.
