• Minimum of five years of professional software development experience.
• At least one year of experience in a technical leadership or team‑lead role.
• Proficiency in object‑oriented design and programming concepts; C# preferred.
• Experience with asynchronous or multithreaded programming.
• Familiarity with event‑driven architectures, messaging systems, and communication protocols such as RabbitMQ, MQTT, or gRPC.
• Exposure to robotic‑related technologies (e.g., path planning, embedded systems) is a plus.

• Up to 10% travel may be required. Employees must have a valid driver’s license and the ability to drive and/or fly to client and other customer locations.
