The official name of our team is BOS/HOS II. We came up with a name that better describes us.

We are the "Raptors" because we are fierce and a little different. Although each of us is a different kind of raptor, we are united by what is essential – the desire to do things well, humanely, and with a dose of healthy humour.

We are not perfect, but we are unique. And it is precisely in our diversity that our strength lies – one thinks analytically, another spouts creative solutions on demand, another thrives in chaos... When we put it all together, everything falls into place.

Our favourite rituals include morning coffee and internal memes, which may not seem funny to you until you get to know our inside jokes.

Our motto

"What's it all about?"

Translation: let's talk openly, without baggage, and with a desire to find a solution. We use this phrase whenever someone comes up with a complicated problem, a strange assignment, or just needs to "vent."

Meet the colleagues

"I started as an intern at the company as a university student and have stayed to this day, mainly thanks to the good relationships in our department, but also with our German colleagues. I also like the sports benefits that the company provides and the peaceful and comfortable working environment."

Milan

SW Developer

"I like the friendly, family atmosphere at Scheid & Bachmann, the generous employee benefits, and the great company events."

Martina

SW Tester

"We have significantly more vacation time than other employers offer, and we can also take compensatory time off for overtime. This gives me enough space for my work-life balance, hobbies, or just relaxing with a book and my feet up. If you're not a fan of the whole hustle culture, having a stable and reliable employer is something you want. The corporate culture here is top-notch, people are friendly and team-oriented, which is very important for everyday functioning. As a company, we have a very broad scope of work, and you can choose from a variety of projects and technologies."

What we do

Our work is a mix of planning, communication, operations, creativity, and the ability to know what to do, even when a task comes from the "completely out of the box" category. We do what it takes to make things work – while being careful not to slip into a routine.

We work on a variety of tasks – some are large and visible, others small and inconspicuous, but all are important. Currently, we are most focused on the large SIQMA Nova project, but we can also meet customer requirements (Q8, Shell, and T&R) for new "features" or debugging.

We enjoy it when things move forward, even if it's not always smooth sailing. Humour, well-aimed sarcasm, and coffee help us in our work.

Our work can be compared to building with Legos without instructions. We don't know if we have all the pieces. Sometimes we have to make one, and sometimes we end up building something completely different. But in the end, it all holds together and looks good too.

How we work

We work in an agile team, so concepts such as planning, review, and retrospective are not foreign to us. Retrospectives and planning can be quite rewarding, because when you know ”What’s it all about?” things go much easier.

We use velocity, burndown charts, and forecast accuracy. When things occasionally go wrong, we can quickly adapt and pretend that's how it was supposed to be.

Our technologies

We are not robots, but we understand technology. Most of the time.

Java / Java EE / Spring Boot / Quarkus – the technological foundation on which we build reliable and scalable solutions
IntelliJ IDEA – a faithful partner for coding in Java
Git / GitLab / Renovate – automatic dependency updates and everything related to versioning
Docker / Kubernetes / Helm – containers and deployment for our applications
Jenkins – companion on the CI/CD journey
Maven – every good project deserves a proper build
JIRA – digital backlog, planner, and space for mild frustration
Confluence – digital notebook of our wisdom
Xray – test management that keeps our tests under control
Postman / Apidog – we test and prove that "it works for us"
MS Teams – the place where "real" work happens... and memes.

Where to find us

Our main base is located at Scheidt & Bachmann headquarters in Žilina on Priemyselná Street. In Building B (the nice brick building perpendicular to Priemyselná Street) on the top floor, you will find our pleasant working environment and plenty of coffee. We also meet there for reviews, planning, and retrospectives, but we also enjoy spending time together over lunch.

We realize that not every day is the same – and sometimes it's better to work from the comfort of your own home. That's why we support a flexible work regime with the option of working from home as needed and by agreement. The key is to feel good, whether we're in the office or at home, so that work is meaningful and stress doesn't get the upper hand.

Whether you're an early bird or a night owl, you'll find space for your work style with us.
