Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- You are responsible for the technical development of a central software platform in production—with a focus on scalable architecture, integrations with shop floor and enterprise systems, and high software quality.
- You take on the technical leadership of our development team, mentor colleagues through knowledge transfer, and jointly make technology-oriented decisions.
- You design, document, and further develop a scalable, maintainable, and extensible software architecture for production-related applications (MES).
- You maintain a holistic view of system stability, performance, and scalability, ensuring high quality through architecture and code reviews as well as appropriate testing and CI/CD strategies.
- You develop and maintain interfaces between production software and adjacent systems (e.g., ERP, SCADA, data platforms, production equipment) and seamlessly integrate new functionalities into the existing system landscape.
- In close collaboration with the Product Owner, IT, and business units, you oversee the technical implementation — from architecture decisions to go-live.
- You monitor technological trends, evaluate tools and methods, and actively contribute innovations to the roadmap.
- You pragmatically shape the use of AI along the DevOps cycle (Analysis, Development, Testing, Deployment, Operations, Monitoring) - for example, for automation, quality assurance, and efficiency improvement.
