Job description

We Are Hiring: Senior Software Engineer – Python (Robotics & Autonomous Systems)

Impact: High (Foundational engineering team)

Are you a Senior Python Engineer who loves building the foundational systems, developer tooling, and automated infrastructure that allow complex engineering teams to move fast and scale safely?

A fast-growing robotics and autonomous systems company in Oslo is hiring several Senior Python Engineers to join our core team. This isn't a traditional support function. You will be building high-impact, production-quality internal platforms, test automation frameworks, and infrastructure that directly bridge the gap between Python development, DevOps, and cutting-edge hardware.

If you care deeply about code quality, system reliability, and creating developer environments that surface failures instead of hiding them, we want to hear from you!

What You Will Be Doing

• Production Python Development: Spend the majority of your time writing and improving clean, maintainable Python code across automation, developer tooling, and supporting infrastructure.
• Test Infrastructure & Automation: Build robust end-to-end test suites and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test setups that mimic real operational behavior.
• Platform Design: Design scalable, resilient backend systems that improve overall engineering quality and hold up as the company grows.
• Cross-Functional Impact: Work close to real-world physical products, building the exact platforms an engineering organization of ~40 people relies on daily.
• Python Expertise: 4+ years of professional experience developing with Python.
• Environment: Highly comfortable working in Linux-heavy environments.
• Quality Focus: A "quality-first" mindset with a genuine motivation for end-to-end testing and building reliable systems at scale.
• Versatile Background: Strong backend systems experience. (ML engineers with rock-solid backend foundations and a genuine interest in infrastructure are also highly encouraged to apply!)
• Key Specialization: Proven experience in either Python-based Test Automation OR as a Python Engineer focused on Developer Tooling / DevOps Tooling / Infrastructure.
• Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines, Docker, or modern infrastructure tooling.
• Hardware-adjacent or Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) test automation experience.

Why You'll Love This Role

• Tangible Impact: Work on fascinating, real-world problems with direct, visible results.
• Early-Stage Growth: Help shape the technical systems, tooling, and culture of a brilliant 40-person team from the ground up.
• Strong Package: Competitive compensation including equity potential, excellent insurance, a top-tier pension plan, and continuous learning budgets.
• Culture: Join a mission-driven team that genuinely values clarity, integrity, and deep technical excellence.
