Job requirements

We care more about strong software engineers than checkbox perfection. If you meet most of these and are motivated to grow into the rest, please still apply tell us where you are strong and where you would ramp up.

Technical skills

Bachelor's or Master's in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience, plus 5+ years of commercial backend/platform development (no mission-domain background required)
Strong Python skills, it's the primary language for integration work on this team
Experience with service design, event-driven systems, async messaging, and evolving APIs without breaking consumers
Hands-on experience with contract-first interfaces: OpenAPI and Protocol Buffers
Track record building production APIs and real-time channels (REST, WebSockets, pub-sub)
Practical understanding of latency and performance trade-offs in system design
Comfortable with PostgreSQL, Redis, and choosing the right tool for the workload
Experience on Linux with Docker and CI/CD, with a solid grasp of HTTP servers and reverse proxies
Hands-on observability skills: structured logging, metrics, and production experience with Prometheus/Grafana

Soft Skills

Comfortable working in Scrum or similar agile teams
Strong software craftsmanship: testing, debugging distributed issues, code review, and clear communication in English (German a plus)
Ownership mindset, you follow problems across service boundaries and take responsibility for making integrations work end to end

Nice to Have

ROS 2 experience (nodes, topics, services) and familiarity with DDS/QoS
Deeper networking knowledge (TCP/IP, UDP, sockets) or hands-on work with Nginx/HAProxy
Time-series databases (e.g. InfluxDB) for high-frequency telemetry
Additional languages such as TypeScript/Node, Go, or C++
Familiarity with MAVLink or similar vehicle/telemetry protocols
Prior work in robotics, autonomous systems, defense, or industrial control software
Tech-lead or mentoring experience
Willingness to travel occasionally for on-site integration and test campaigns
