Job description
About The Company
GROPYUS is a technology-based construction company focused on building multi-story residential buildings. Thanks to its prefabricated building system with various design options, industrial offsite construction, and fully digitalized processes, the company manufactures aspirational, sustainable, and affordable homes using timber construction methods. GROPYUS is using scalable construction and manufacturing solutions to tap into a future market, boost Europe's strength in innovation, while also playing a substantial role in improving sustainability.
About the Role
You will be part of a highly collaborative product team working at the core of our manufacturing facility, transforming digital models into physical elements at scale. Product Teams at GROPYUS own what they build, including the underlying infrastructure, build pipelines, automated testing, release and rollout management, monitoring, and support. You will be trusted to solve problems efficiently and effectively, building on top of a solid architecture and operational foundation, and will be encouraged to seek out under-attended topics and assume responsibility for them both within your product area and across product areas.
As a Staff Engineer, you have an impact across multiple teams within your product area. Staff Engineers effectively collaborate with other Staff Engineers and foster a culture of regular exchange and cooperation. Their ability to communicate effectively and take initiative ensures that they not only contribute to the technical success of projects, but also help drive overall growth and innovation within the company by sharing both best practices and failures, and learning from them. With your focus on and experience in SRE / operating large systems, you will drive and spearhead operational excellence within your product area.

What you'll be doing
As a Staff Engineer (f/m/d) on the Production Platform team, you will be responsible for:
Designing and building the software at the core of our manufacturing and owning the integrations that connect it to physical machines and vendor systems
Leading technical initiatives that ensure software systems are reliable, maintainable, and operationally sound, especially in logistics- and manufacturing-heavy domains
Working in a hybrid infrastructure environment (cloud and on-prem), managing complex software deployments at scale
Bringing a Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) mindset to monitor, maintain, and improve software uptime, including reliable updates, latency, and efficiency
Acting as a bridge between digital product delivery and physical logistics and manufacturing systems, including assessing vendors for integration fitness, owning buy-vs-build decisions, and negotiating API changes with machine and equipment vendors toward usable, maintainable interfaces
Mentoring engineers across multiple teams and improving system-wide architecture, a maintainable and sound codebase, and operational excellence incl. incident handling
Helping define, monitor, and evolve SLAs/SLOs as well as other important KPIs like e.g. OEE for critical systems

You are proficient with most of the following technologies:
Kotlin / SpringBoot
Kubernetes
Linux
PostgreSQL
TimeFold / Camunda / BPMN / Optimization
Python / Bash is a plus
