Job description

About The Company

GROPYUS is a technology-based construction company focused on building multi-story residential buildings. Thanks to its prefabricated building system with a wide range of design options, automated offsite construction, and fully digitalized processes, the company is able to create resilient timber housing quickly and cost-effectively. GROPYUS is using scalable construction and manufacturing solutions to tap into a future market, strengthen Europe's innovation capacity, and play a substantial role in improving sustainability. The company delivers its multi-family houses as a complete and turnkey solution. The combination of technology, construction, robotics, and manufacturing expertise means buildings can be created in a fully digitalized end-to-end process. The building system is based on versatile wall and slab elements, making it easier to optimize land use, customize plans, and build fast with both off-site construction and on-site assembly. This system is complemented by the Building Operating System–developed in-house.

About the Role

You will be part of a highly collaborative product team working at the core of our manufacturing facility transforming digital models into physical elements at scale.

Product Teams at GROPYUS own what they build, including underlying infrastructure, build pipelines, automated testing, release and rollout management, monitoring, and support. You will be trusted to solve problems efficiently and effectively building on top of a solid architecture and operational foundation and will be encouraged to seek out under-attended topics and assume responsibility for them both within your product area as well as across product areas.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will be part of a team responsible for integrating and coordinating the PLC, Robot and 3rd-party systems which manufacture wall and slab elements. You will write software – both alone as well as in pair with your team colleagues, ensure functionality with a solid testing approach and deploy and rollout changes to the live systems. Furthermore, our teams are also responsible for operating and troubleshooting the software they have developed during working hours of the factory.

What you’ll be doing

• Designing, building, testing and operating software solutions for logistics and manufacturing use cases incl. Robots, AGVs and other (semi) automated manufacturing equipment.
• Working in a hybrid infrastructure environment (cloud and on-prem), managing complex software deployments at scale
• Bringing a Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) mindset to monitor, maintain, and improve software uptime including reliable updates, latency, and efficiency
• Acting as a bridge between digital product delivery & physical logistics and manufacturing systems, ensuring both are aligned and integrated
• Helping define, monitor and evolve SLAs/SLOs as well as other important KPIs like e.g. OEE for critical systems

What you bring

• You are an experienced software engineer– preferably with a background in manufacturing or logistics systems, Site Reliability Engineering or software system operations
• You possess practical experience in some / all key areas of modern software development, including infrastructure, observability, testing, deployment pipelines incl. quality assurance, and scaling
• You have operated and supported large-scale software systems in cloud and non-cloud environments (on-premise)
• You have worked in companies with strong operational cultures, ideally in logistics or manufacturing – understanding the commercial impact of system downtime
• You are proficient with most of the following technologies:
  • Kotlin / SpringBoot
  • Kubernetes
  • Linux
  • PostgreSQL
  • Python / Bash is a plus
• You bring Cloud Operations experience
  • Experience with Azure is a bonus
• You are familiar with monitoring and alerting practices for production systems
• You have experience defining and working with SLAs/SLOs
• You are willing to travel to our manufacturing site in Richen whenever needed and within Germany and Austria for in-person team events

What We Offer

• An unlimited contract with 30 vacation days.
• Flexible, hybrid work: You can work from home or come into the office on the schedule that works best for you. Feel like traveling and working from another location? No problem. Tune into meetings and work from abroad for up to 40 days per year. In addition, flex hours allow you to prioritize important moments in your day.
• Attractive perks and benefits: We offer a company pension scheme, language courses (English/German), and employee discounts with selected sustainable brands. Furthermore, our external partners in mental health support you in strengthening your mental health through anonymous private/group sessions.
• Virtual Shares Program: Participate in the success of GROPYUS through our Virtual Share Program.
