Senior Software Engineer (m/f/d)

About The Role

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

Product teams at GROPYUS are responsible for everything they build – including the underlying infrastructure, build pipelines, automated tests, release and rollout management, monitoring, and support. You can trust yourself to solve problems efficiently and effectively, built on a solid architectural and operational foundation. You are encouraged to identify under-represented topics and take ownership – both within your product domain and across domains.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will be part of a team responsible for the integration and coordination of PLC, robot, and third-party systems that manufacture wall and ceiling elements. You will develop software – both independently and through pair programming with your colleagues, ensure functionality through robust testing, and perform deployments and rollouts to live systems. Furthermore, our teams are also responsible for operating and troubleshooting the software they develop during working hours at the plant.

Your Responsibilities

As a Senior Software Engineer (m/f/d) in the Product Delivery Team, you will take on the following responsibilities:

• Design, development, testing, and operation of software solutions for logistics and manufacturing applications, including robots, AGVs, and other (partially) automated manufacturing facilities
• Working in a hybrid infrastructure (cloud and on-premises), managing complex, large-scale software deployments
• Bringing a Site Reliability Engineering mindset to monitor, maintain, and improve system availability, including reliable updates, latency, and efficiency
• Acting as a bridge between digital product development and physical logistics and manufacturing systems to ensure their integration
• Contributing to the definition, monitoring, and further development of SLAs/SLOs and key KPIs such as OEE for critical systems

What You Bring

• Several years of experience as a Software Engineer – ideally with a background in manufacturing or logistics systems, Site Reliability Engineering, or software system operation in a smart factory
• Hands-on experience in key areas of modern software development: infrastructure, observability, testing, deployment pipelines including quality assurance and scaling
• Experience in operating and supporting large-scale software systems in cloud and on-premises environments
• Work experience in companies with a strong operational culture, ideally in logistics or manufacturing – understanding the commercial impact of system failures
• Knowledge in most of the following technologies:
  • Kotlin / SpringBoot
  • Kubernetes
  • Linux
  • PostgreSQL
  • Python / Bash (advantageous)
• Experience in Cloud Operations (Azure is advantageous)
• Familiarity with monitoring and alerting practices for production systems
• Experience in defining and working with SLAs/SLOs
• Willingness to travel to our manufacturing site in Richen as well as within Germany and Austria for team events

What We Offer

• A permanent contract with 30 days of vacation.
• Attractive Additional Benefits: We offer a company pension scheme, language courses (English/German), and employee discounts with selected sustainable brands. Furthermore, our external partners provide support in the area of mental health, strengthening your psychological well-being through anonymous individual or group sessions.
• Ownership: You can truly make a difference – at all levels of our organization. Find solutions, drive them forward, test, and implement them.
• The Chance to Be Part of Something Big: Our mission is to rethink an entire industry. Help us reinvent construction and promote sustainable, affordable housing.
• A Diverse and Enriching Work Environment: Become a valued member of a wonderfully diverse team of people from over 50 countries. At GROPYUS, we place great importance on inclusion and ensure that everyone – regardless of their background – feels like part of the community. This way, our differences become strengths that propel us forward as a team.
