About the position

Join a cross‑functional team at Ambrosys, where we build data‑driven platforms to tackle complex challenges in mobility and urban infrastructure. Our work spans multiple projects across the mobility domain, from vehicle positioning and geolocalisation to tolling systems, smart city solutions, and energy‑related use cases.

In this role, you’ll contribute to a real‑time data platform for traffic insights, processing large‑scale streaming data to help understand and optimise truck traffic across the country. You’ll work on a modern data platform built around real‑time analytics and distributed systems. We’re looking for engineers who take responsibility for their work, understand the product context, and are open to new technologies and ways of working as the landscape continues to evolve.

What you will do:

• Design and evolve a scalable, real‑time data platform for mobility use cases
• Build and operate streaming data pipelines and services
• Ensure data quality, reliability, and observability
• Collaborate with product and domain experts to build data‑driven features
• Continuously improve engineering practices and explore modern tools and approaches

Your profile

What you bring:

• Solid experience in software engineering (3+ years), ideally in data‑intensive systems
• Strong programming skills (e.g. Python; other languages are a plus)
• Experience with distributed systems, APIs, and scalable architectures
• Familiarity with real‑time or streaming data processing is a strong plus
• A pragmatic approach to clean code, testing, and maintainability
• Comfort working in agile, cross‑functional teams
• Interest in understanding the product and domain, not just the code
• A bachelor’s degree in a STEM or similar discipline (advanced degrees a plus)

Nice to have:

• Experience with modern data and streaming technologies (e.g. Kafka, Flink, or similar)
• Exposure to cloud‑native environments and container orchestration
• Interest in AI/ML or data‑driven product features

Why us?

As a new member of our team, you can look forward to:

• Exciting and diverse tasks and close collaboration in small teams
• A flexible work schedule and location, with up to 4 days a week from home
• Ability to work from abroad for a total of 10 days per year
• A competitive salary with annual adjustment in line with the inflation rate
• Time for continuous improvement and joint meetups on special topics
• Have fun and work together on company and team events
• A flat hierarchy and open communication channels with direct access to the CEO
• A feel‑good manager who attends to your daily needs with best‑in‑town coffee, refreshments, fresh fruit/vegetables and snacks, and a monthly company breakfast
• Bike lease with discount as optional for a stress‑free commute
• Subsidised Deutschlandticket for easy commuting
• Days off for special occasions or if your child is ill
• Personalised career plan
• Flexible adjustment of your working hours
