Senior Control Software Engineer (all genders welcome)

Your Role

Freshly cooked food. Everywhere. All the time.

With our robots, we’re transforming the way the world cooks and enjoys food. Through technology that supports the foodservice industry, reduces food waste, and elevates culinary quality to a new, scalable level. Accessible to everyone. Everywhere. Anytime. We give our all to make this happen – across every level, team and function.


As a Senior Control Software Engineer, you develop the intelligence of our robots across all levels – from planning and orchestration to the logic of individual components and embedded code. You take ownership of the entire development cycle and tackle bugs holistically to sustainably improve reliability, performance, and code quality.


These are the tasks you will be responsible for:

• End-to-end ownership of features and issue resolution : You’ll take full responsibility for identifying, reproducing, diagnosing, fixing, testing, and deploying changes across a broad control software codebase. Along the way, you’ll make independent design decisions and contribute directly to the evolution of our systems.
• Boosting reliability and performance : You’ll strengthen core components – including planning and orchestration logic, state machines, and embedded sensor/actuator control – to reduce field bugs, regressions, and mean time to recovery (MTTR), while increasing throughput and overall system stability.
• Level 3 production support : You’ll act as the escalation point for unexpected issues in the field. Using telemetry data, you’ll triage incidents, contain impact, implement long-term fixes, and ensure that learnings from each incident are fed back into the codebase, test coverage, and operational runbooks.

Your profile

You’re passionate about innovative technologies, excited about the role, and ready to help us revolutionize the worlds of tech and culinary even further? Let’s get cooking!

These are the qualities helping you thrive in this role:

• Technical degree: Degree in Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a comparable technical field.
• Deep relevant experience: 8+ years in roles at the intersection of software and hardware (ideally in production-grade systems).
• Software engineering foundation (incl. OOP): Strong software development skills with a clear understanding of hardware-related contexts, plus excellent object-oriented programming (e.g., Python, C++, or similar).
• Outstanding code comprehension: You can read, understand, and debug unfamiliar codebases at high speed – and leave them better than you found them.
• Ownership & accountability: You take full responsibility for features, bugs, and long-term maintainability – and you drive solutions end-to-end until they hold up in production.
• Systems thinking across layers: You reason across planning/orchestration, state machines, and embedded I/O — and you anticipate side effects before they become incidents.
• Exceptional debugging craft: You work hypothesis-driven, reproduce issues reliably, instrument systems when needed, and identify root causes instead of chasing symptoms.
• Clear communication: You write clean tickets, PRs, and incident reports — concise, precise, and actionable — and you keep stakeholders aligned.
• English fluency: Full professional proficiency in English — written and spoken.
