What you'll do
- Build and maintain production-grade software in Rust and C++ for autonomous platforms and the systems around them.
- Design performant, fault-tolerant components that run on embedded Linux, edge hardware and in the cloud.
- Develop communication layers, data pipelines and real-time processing for sensor-driven, distributed systems.
- Work with hardware and robotics engineers to get software from simulation and test benches onto real vehicles.
- Use AI agents as part of your daily engineering workflow: break down problems, run several agents in parallel, review their output critically and make sure it meets our quality and safety standards.
- Own your code end to end: design, review, testing, deployment and troubleshooting of systems in the field.
- Shape architecture decisions and help raise engineering standards in a growing team.
What we're looking for
- Several years of professional experience (ideally 4+) building software in Rust and/or C++, including production code.
- A strong foundation in systems programming: concurrency, memory and resource management, networking and performance tuning.
- The ability to understand a complex system and its domain quickly, and to translate that understanding into clear architecture and well-scoped tasks.
- Hands-on experience working with AI coding agents, or the curiosity and drive to build that skill fast, including the judgment to verify and correct what they produce.
- Day-to-day experience with Linux as a development and target environment.
- Experience with distributed, real-time or performance-critical systems.
- A solid testing mindset, from unit tests to hardware-in-the-loop or simulation.
- Clear communication and the ability to work independently in a fast-moving, interdisciplinary environment.
Nice to have
- Experience with robotics, autonomy or sensor integration.
- Experience setting up agent-based workflows, such as parallel agents, automated test and review loops or custom tooling around coding agents.
- Embedded or real-time experience (RTOS, bare metal, firmware).
- Familiarity with ROS 2 or simulation frameworks.
- Knowledge of communication protocols and low-latency data transport.
- Experience with containers, CI/CD and cloud infrastructure.
Benefits
- Company pension scheme
- Flexible working hours
- Mobile Work: option to work remotely one flexible day per week
- EGYM Wellpass fitness and sports facilities membership, subsidized
- Bike-Leasing
- Corporate Benefits discounts from well-known suppliers and brands, e.g. Adidas, Apple, Expedia
- Employee events
- Lunch-Card: daily lunch budget is sponsored
- Company Shuttle from Laim in Munich to the location, with return trips
