Senior Software Engineer

Tired of building web apps that only live on a screen? We're looking for someone who wants to write code that actually moves things in the physical world. We are working with a tech company focused on smart, AI-driven automation. Their goal is to teach autonomous systems how to navigate and manipulate physical objects - connecting advanced software with real-world tasks. You'll join a strong, compact team of engineers who previously worked at major tech giants and successful startups. Your code will have a direct impact on real operations, and yes - you will test it on actual physical hardware. What You Will Be Doing As a Senior Software Engineer, you'll work on software that powers autonomous machines. You'll be involved in the whole product lifecycle - from research and architecture to coding, testing, and deployment.What you'll actually do: • Control Logic: Design the business logic and control systems that allow machines to handle and manipulate physical items. • Hardware Integration: Write drivers to interface with electromechanical systems and hardware components. • Data Pipelines: Build cloud-based tools to process real-time data from the systems' sensors and actions. • System Architecture: Create adaptable, distributed systems that integrate with various enterprise environments and customer setups. • Testing: Validate your code using unit tests, simulations, and finally - run it on real hardware. What We Are Looking For: • Experience: 5+ years in software engineering. • Tech Stack: Strong problem-solving skills and proficiency in a modern programming language (C++, Java, Go, etc.). The client mainly uses Python, but you don't need to know it beforehand - we value engineering fundamentals and system design skills more than syntax. • Architecture: Experience in designing complex, multi-level software systems and distributed architectures. • Communication: Fluent English. You need to be comfortable talking to clients, gathering requirements, and explaining technical concepts clearly. Offer: • Financials: Alongside a solid UoP base salary, you'll get stock options in a growing pre-IPO company. You can also use 75% KUP (Autorskie Koszty Uzyskania Przychodu) to boost your net pay. • Flexibility: Flexible working hours and a hybrid model - you only need to show up at the Warsaw lab 5 days a month to work with the hardware. • Great Team: Work with highly skilled engineers in an English-speaking environment.
