  • Demonstrated ability to lead complex initiatives without formal authority
  • Excellent communication – from translating technical discussion to POs to whiteboarding sessions with peers
  • What you’ll love
  • Real ownership in a truly flat structure – you collaborate as peers with everyone
  • Direct customer loop: work closely with integration partners and end-customers (e.g., robotic lawnmower OEMs, precision-ag fleets) and see your work in the field
  • Time and budget to publish, speak at conferences, and stay at the cutting edge
  • Surround yourself with other recognized experts who have many years in the industry and still love to code
  • If this sounds like the technical playground you’ve been looking for – let’s talk.
  • What are your perks?
  • A multicultural and international company with over 60 different nationalities
  • Project-based activities working with colleagues distributed across the globe
  • A start-up and innovation mindset while in the process of scaling-up processes and efficiencies
