Senior Full-Stack Engineer; Front-End Focus); m​/f​/d

Named after Asimov's R. Daneel Olivaw, we build the platform layer for service robotics. We manage heterogeneous robot fleets and give robots capabilities they do not have on their own — we call it upskilling. A robot that could not use an elevator now can. Long term, we intend to be the operating system for robot fleets, where new skills install like software.

For an engineer it is a good problem to spend time on: machines moving through the physical world, telemetry at scale, distributed systems in the cloud and on customer hardware, machine learning on top of the data. We enjoy the challenge. If you have a similar mindset and like working on complex problems, you will fit here.

This is a full-stack on-site engineering role with a front-end focus.

You will take ownership of our core front-end application — architecture, user experience, quality. This is where most of your time will go.

Over time your work will extend beyond it. Our engineers work across the whole product, and you will too — picking up backend and infrastructure work as your features call for it. You do not need to be an expert there, but solid competence is expected.

• The architecture and quality of a complex, user-facing application.
• The user experience: the interface people actually work in, held to a high standard.
• The testing strategy — what is critical, what is worth the effort, what is not.
• Features end to end, from the interface through to the services behind it.
• The standard the rest of the team writes to.

• Senior experience where you owned the shape of a system, not only the tickets in it.
• Depth in modern front-end engineering — you design the structure of a large application rather than work inside someone else's.
• User experience and interface judgment. You hold interface work to a high standard and can take a feature from idea to polished UI on your own.
• Genuine breadth across backend, data and infrastructure. "That is not my area" is not a sentence we use here.
• Architectural fluency you have actually applied — coupling, boundaries, separation of concerns. We will ask you what you disagree with.

• Competitive base salary plus VSOP — you own part of what you build.
• A flat engineering team working directly with the CTO.
• Broad ownership and direct influence on product decisions.
• A clear path to technical leadership as the team grows.
• Well-equipped Munich office, hybrid days by arrangement, regular team events.
• Modern tooling, including AI tooling, and the equipment and subscriptions you need.

We assess engineers by seeing them in action. Talking about engineering and doing it are two different things, and we would rather see the second. Expect to write code with us: live coding in one of the technical conversations, possibly a take-home challenge, and a session on-site in Munich. Bring the machine you normally work on. You are welcome to use AI tooling — we use it ourselves.

Olivaw is an equal-opportunity employer. We welcome applications from candidates of all backgrounds, identities and experiences, and assess everyone on their ability to do the work.
