Jobbeschreibung

We are an international team building KINEXON OS, the operating system that optimizes visibility and transparency of industrial moving assets. Our platform captures real‑time location data and provides dynamic workflows, delivering actionable insights for production and logistics. KINEXON OS is open, flexible, and scalable, enabling full visibility into supply chains and dynamic tracking of assets for swift operational decision‑making. It aggregates position and identification data from various sources and enriches it with contextual information from third‑party IT/OT systems such as ERP, MES, and WMS.

About the Team

Join us to shape the backbone of a platform that powers digital transformation in manufacturing and logistics worldwide.

Your Qualifications

• Completion of a university degree or comparable qualification
• Solid backend development experience in a compiled, strongly‑typed language (e.g., C++ or Go); openness to Python & Node.js for some services
• Comfortable reading and learning code in other languages in the stack
• Experience with Kafka (producers/consumers, topics, partitions, schema evolution, error handling, monitoring)
• Strong SQL skills (PostgreSQL): schema design, query optimisation, indexing, transactions
• Experience with test automation and integrating tests into CI/CD pipelines
• Containerisation: building/debugging Docker images, orchestration with Docker Swarm; Kubernetes basics a plus
• GitLab CI/CD: writing and maintaining pipelines, build/test automation
• Linux: solid command‑line skills, process/network debugging, scripting
• Understanding of distributed system fundamentals: message ordering, fault tolerance, backpressure, eventual consistency
• Clear communication in English (German optional)
• Hands‑on experience using GenAI tools for coding and a strong curiosity about AI‑driven developer productivity
• Nice‑to‑have:
  • Frontend familiarity (Angular/TypeScript) for debugging and small changes
  • Knowledge of other pub‑sub or in‑memory solutions (Redis, NATS, ZeroMQ)
  • Kubernetes hands‑on deployment, Helm basics
  • Tracing/observability tools (OpenTelemetry, Jaeger, Zipkin, Prometheus/Grafana, ELK/EFK)
  • Security basics: secrets management, TLS in service communication

Your Tasks

• Design and implement APIs and data processing workers within our KINEXON OS ecosystem
• Create and evolve backend architectures for scalability and reliability
• Own and plan larger coding projects (refactoring, new features) that require coordination across multiple teams
• Develop and maintain backend services in C++, Go, and Python
• Ensure robust automated testing and CI/CD integration in close collaboration with QA engineers
• Contribute to observability, performance tuning, and security improvements
• Collaborate closely with frontend, DevOps, and product teams to deliver end‑to‑end solutions

Our Tech Stack
