Lead Software Engineer, Full-stack

Lead Software Engineer, Full-stack (F/M/D) OUR VISION

When people use our technology to "bridge the gap" between the physical and digital worlds, they don’t just capture reality - they create a new one. In this new reality, they are smarter, more productive, more streamlined, and more creative - because they have the digital foundation to build the world they want to live in.

That’s what Nav Vis offers in all our products and services: the tools to not just map the world as it is, but to pave the way to a better future. To forge something new. Physical or digital, there is only one reality. And it’s the reality Nav Vis empowers people to build better.

In this role, you will be more than a builder: you’ll define architecture, lead technical strategy, and influence product direction. You’ll collaborate across squads, mentor engineers, and ensure that our systems not only scale today but are ready for what’s next.

• Drive cross-team initiatives— introducing new technologies to improving development practices— with a focus on scalability, automation, and developer experience.
• Mentor and coach engineers within and beyond your squad, fostering technical excellence, knowledge sharing, and continuous improvement.
• Champion engineering quality by setting high standards for architecture, testing, observability, and operational readiness across services.
