Job Description

One of our most dynamic and exciting software teams is looking for a Senior Software Developer, to guide us in technology choices and architecture design as our department grows.

Joining the “Digital Workflow” team, you will design and implement web-based applications to automate industrial machines - from simulating them in the Cloud, all the way to operating them on the shopfloor - including backend and databases, user interfaces, CI/CD pipeline, and everything in-between.

You will get the chance to work with our robot systems (including robotic arms and three-axis machines) and the tablet that shop-floor operators use to control and interact with their equipment.

• Develop and maintain thorough documentation for all developed models and associated code.
• Design and lead crucial technical projects and initiatives across teams and departments.
• Work closely with leadership: software team leads, product managers, etc.
• Provide mentorship and technical guidance to junior team members.

Qualifications

• Experience with Typescript, Python, and with web development frameworks such as React
• Experience in designing responsive systems (embedded and cloud/web)
• Understanding of distributed system design and the related technical challenges
• A strong ownership of all aspects throughout the SDLC and beyond
• Strong sense of responsibility, to show ownership over full, end-to-end solutions
