Salary Competitive

We offer you an interesting working environment right in the intersection of two global megatrends: the revolution of smart robotics technology and the global need for ecological efficiency.


Systems Programmer

We are looking for an experienced programmer who prefers things that do not have UIs and are not backends for web applications. 

You care more about constant factors than big-Oh because you know which dominates for the actual use cases. You know what SIGUSR1 is for. You will work with robotic sensors and control systems that operate in a soft real-time regime. 

Your responsibilities 

  • Debugging the entire system for issues when the faulty component is not known. 
  • Be an active member of the team that develops and maintains our software, supporting your colleagues and being supported by them in return.
  • Commit working code and tests, review code written by your peers.
  • Participate in road map planning.
  • Asking stupid questions: we all become blind to our assumptions, and as a new member of the team it is important that you challenge them.

You will have the opportunity to go on the field to see our robots in action. You will also be able to define your role in our team and grow beyond your current skills and initial responsibilities.

About our software team 

Our in-house software is the heart and brains of ZenRobotics’ AI-powered sorting robots, which boost the circular economy by recovering valuable resources for reuse. Our high-quality software is a key enabler for that mission. 

Right now, our software team is 10+ developers strong, with both experienced seniors and future talents. We mainly use Python, C++ and Javascript for new code. We build new products and support our existing customers around the world. 

We want to find the unique role to which you are best suited in our team. We work together and support each other to develop the best solutions to our customers’ problems. 

We will fill the open positions as soon as we have the right candidate, so please act fast. If you have any questions, contact ifeellucky@zenrobotics.com.
