• Build innovative products using state-of-the-art technologies in AI, robotics, and autonomy
• Benefit from a steep learning curve and continuous development
• Enjoy team events and a strong, collaborative culture

Your mission

• Own the product roadmap for our data platform: decide what we build, in what order, and why
• Be the architect: design the platform end to end and make the key technical decisions, from data ingestion and synchronization to processing and storage for our drones, IoT, and robotics devices
• Drive internal adoption: work with teams across the company to understand their needs, make the platform the tool they rely on, and turn their feedback into improvements
• Shape its future as a product: define the next steps to turn the platform into something we can offer externally
• Build reliable, high-performance services in Python/Django, with a strong focus on concurrency and asynchronous processing
• Run the platform on-premise today, and plan its evolution toward a hybrid setup
• Mentor engineers and set the standards for quality, observability, and security

Your profile

• 7+ years of software engineering experience, with a proven track record of leading projects from idea to production
• Experience owning a product or platform roadmap and making prioritization decisions
• Strong system design and architecture skills, including concurrency and asynchronous programming
• Ability to work independently, make sound technical decisions, and explain the trade-offs to technical and non-technical people
• Experience driving adoption of internal tools or platforms across teams, and comfort working with stakeholders
• Experience mentoring engineers and guiding a team’s technical direction
• Strong Python skills; Django experience is a strong plus
• Hands-on experience with data pipelines and distributed systems, and running services on-premise (Docker, Kubernetes)

Nice to have

• Experience turning an internal tool into a commercial product
• Cloud experience (e.g. AWS), useful as we move toward a hybrid setup
• Experience with robotics, IoT, or device data
• Rust or Go, for performance-critical components

What else

• Intrinsic motivation, attention to detail, and strong problem-solving mindset
• Creative thinker with a structured and systematic approach
• Humble and collaborative — prioritizes collective success over individual recognition
• High ethical standards and disciplined work ethic
