Softopus

Softopus is a Czech-based software engineering firm offering DevOps, cloud infrastructure, custom software development, AI solutions, and data analytics services. The company works across six major verticals—energy, automotive, transportation, healthcare, government, and education—delivering both staff augmentation and end-to-end project work. Named clients include E.ON, Rimac Technology, Volkswagen, Masaryk University, and several Czech public health agencies.

Services and capabilities

Softopus organizes its offerings around seven service pillars. DevOps & Platform Engineering focuses on CI/CD automation, infrastructure as code (using Terraform and Ansible), Kubernetes orchestration, security scanning, observability, and SRE advisory. The team implements bootstrapped workflows with GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket, and deploys on AWS, Azure, or GCP using tools like ArgoCD, Jenkins, and the ELK Stack.

Cloud & Infrastructure Engineering handles cloud migrations, hybrid and multi-cloud landing zones, disaster recovery, and FinOps governance. Softopus works across Azure, AWS, and VMware environments, managing everything from Microsoft 365 onboarding to self-hosted deployments (Mattermost, Rocket Chat, Jitsi Meet) and backup solutions.

Software Development Services spans custom API design, enterprise ERP/CRM systems, full-stack web and mobile apps, no-code/low-code platforms, and QA testing. The team works in .NET, Java, Node.js, Go, and Python, with recent projects built in React.js, Next.js, and TypeScript.

Data Warehousing and Business Intelligence implements ETL pipelines using Apache Airflow and dbt, and builds analytics solutions on Databricks, Snowflake, and Power BI. Softopus supported Volkswagen's Power BI development and reporting infrastructure for an extended period.

AI-Driven Solutions includes AI-accelerated code generation (GitHub Copilot, Tabnine), custom ML models (TensorFlow, PyTorch), generative AI services, and model monitoring and security. The company also offers Edge Computing and IoT Solutions—lightweight Kubernetes (K3s, MicroK8s), device management via Azure IoT Hub and AWS IoT Core, and real-time data processing with Apache Kafka.

Metaverse Development Services round out the portfolio: VR (Unity3D, Unreal Engine, Oculus SDK), AR (ARKit, ARCore), and virtual marketplace development (Decentraland, OpenSea).

The company also provides IT outsourcing, managed services, and staff augmentation across all service lines.

Notable work

For Rimac Technology (automotive), Softopus built a unified digital platform serving rimac-technology.com, rimac-group.com, and rimac-energy.com. The solution uses React.js, Next.js with on-demand ISR, and a headless Strapi CMS (PostgreSQL, Node.js) deployed on Vercel. Results included unified branding, Google Analytics 4 integration, WCAG 2.1 accessibility compliance, reduced operational costs, and enhanced user engagement through optimized performance.

For E.ON (energy), Softopus provided long-term staff augmentation for DevSecOps teams, managing and optimizing multi-cloud infrastructure.

For Czech public health agencies, Softopus developed and maintained the COVID Forms App (health data management, DevOps, web development, public procurement support) and the NZIP.cz portal (verified health content, open data access, expert-reviewed articles). For Masaryk University, the company built and maintained the SIMU portal supporting medical simulation training.

How they work

Softopus employs two-week sprints. The engagement model flows through six phases: goal-setting workshops, competitor research and design (wireframes, final graphics), technology selection and development, testing and code verification, production launch with ongoing monitoring, and post-launch evaluation with iterative improvements. The firm responds to inquiries within 24 hours and offers free intro calls. Specific pricing and contract terms are not disclosed on the website.
