Job description

Here at Siemens, we take pride in enabling sustainable progress through technology. We do this through empowering customers by combining the real and digital worlds. Improving how we live, work, and move today and for the next generation! We know that the only way a business thrives is if our people are thriving. That’s why we always put our people first. Our global, diverse team would be happy to support you and challenge you to grow in new ways. Who knows where our shared journey will take you?

We are developing AI-native products that bring generative intelligence into the physical world. As a Software Engineer, you will set the technical direction for systems that blend cloud infrastructure, machine learning, and hardware interaction. You will be responsible for defining architecture that is robust, scalable, and adaptable to rapid research and product iteration.

This is a high-impact role for a technical leader who thrives on deep systems work and cross-disciplinary problem solving. You will work closely with engineers, ML researchers, product managers, and executives to define the architecture and foundational components that will support the next generation of intelligent, interactive systems. Your decisions will influence the trajectory of multiple engineering teams and the product itself.

You’ll make an impact by:

• Lead architecture and development of complex, high-scale systems
• Drive technical decisions and trade-offs across multiple domains (infra, ML, product)
• Collaborate across teams to align long-term platform and product direction
• Set engineering standards for code quality, design, and operational excellence
• Mentor and support growth of engineers across the team

Technologies We Use

• Languages: Python, Go, TypeScript
• ML: PyTorch, HuggingFace, ONNX Runtime, LangChain
• Infrastructure: AWS, Kubernetes, Redis, Postgres, S3, Terraform
• DevOps & Observability: GitHub Actions, Datadog, Grafana, Prometheus

We do not expect deep experience with every tool, but we are looking for engineers who have repeatedly solved difficult problems at scale, and who know how to make good technical decisions under uncertainty.

You will win us over by having the following qualifications:

Basic Qualifications

• 6+ years of professional software development experience
• Experience designing and scaling distributed systems in production environments
• Proficiency in at least one backend programming language (e.g., Python, Go, Java)
• Strong understanding of systems architecture, observability, and deployment best practices
• Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional technical initiatives

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with ML model serving or AI product integration
• Prior ownership of mission-critical systems with high availability requirements
• Background in performance engineering or systems optimization
• Experience mentoring senior engineers or leading architectural reviews

About the Team:

We are an early-stage engineering team solving hard technical problems at the intersection of AI, systems, and real-world interaction. We operate with high autonomy, collaborate closely across functions, and maintain high technical standards. Software Engineers at our company are expected to lead by example, model engineering excellence, and shape both what we build and how we build it.

Our Commitment to Equity and Inclusion in our Diverse Global Workforce:

We value your unique identity and perspective. We are fully committed to providing equitable opportunities and building a workplace that reflects the diversity of society, while ensuring that we attract the best talent based on qualifications, skills, and experiences. We welcome you to bring your authentic self and transform the everyday with us.
