About this role

We’re looking for an Experienced Robot Software Engineer to help design, build, and scale the next generation of automation in Controlled Environment Agriculture. You’ll work hands-on with complex robotic systems — from concept to deployment — and play a key role in making our technology smarter, faster, and more reliable.

In this role, you’ll collaborate with experts across software, mechanics, electronics, and computer vision. You’ll take ownership of core software components and help guide architectural decisions as we scale our robotic platform.

You’ll also mentor junior developers and bring real-world products to life — in greenhouses across Europe and beyond.

You report to the Head of Engineering and will be instrumental in both technical development and system-level thinking.

Your role includes the following

responsibilities

  • Building Smart Systems
  • Design, develop, and maintain robust, scalable software for real-time robotic systems.
  • Write efficient, high-quality code (primarily in C++, Python as secondary).
  • Integrate with embedded hardware, sensors, and motor controllers.
  • Debug and optimize for performance, reliability, and safety.
  • Leading Engineering Thinking
  • Contribute to system architecture and high-level software decisions.
  • Translate product requirements into modular, testable software.
  • Drive process improvements, mentor junior engineers, and maintain code quality.
  • Collaborate across disciplines to deliver seamlessly integrated systems.
  • Delivering Real-World Impact
  • Ensure that our robots perform reliably in greenhouse environments.
  • Identify and fix root causes of technical issues at scale.
  • Support deployment and iterate based on field data and feedback.
  • Think ahead: build with maintenance, scalability, and sustainability in mind.
