Senior Full Stack Engineer

As a Full-Stack Software Engineer on our manufacturing intelligence team, you'll work wherever the leverage is highest. One week that means turning an operator's spreadsheet into a proper workflow; the next it means wiring machine data into scheduling, or cutting a manual quoting step out of the order flow.

You'll own problems end to end across our customer portal, Enterprise Resource Planning / Manufacturing Execution System, and the data layer connecting them to the shop floor. 

Based at our HQ at “The Circle” (Zurich airport), your work will span:

• Manufacturing Intelligence: Capturing process, machine, and quality data so knowledge lives in systems instead of in people's heads.

• Automation: Replacing manual steps in quoting, planning, scheduling, and documentation with software that runs on its own.

• Production Acceleration: Finding the bottlenecks between CAD/CAM data submission and shipped parts.

• Tools for People: Building interfaces that makes life easier for operators, engineers, and customers, whether that's a work instruction screen, a dashboard, or a self-service portal.

Importantly, you do not need prior experience in the manufacturing domain. We value a high level of curiosity and autonomy to find and solve problems.

• Experience: 3+ years as a software engineer with proven experience in building backend applications, ideally in the manufacturing sector

• Broad Technical Range: Experience in systems design, architecture and implementation. In general, you don’t shy away from new technologies and pick up whatever the problem requires. Our current tech stack is: Rust, PostgreSQL, React,  Python, AWS.

• End-to-End Ownership: From talking to the user, to schema, to API, to UI, to rollout. You don't hand off "the other half."

• Industrial Grit: Comfortable spending time on the shop floor in Germany to understand how work actually happens and how your software interacts with precision machinery.

• Autonomy: You are comfortable with diving into new topics, coming up with solutions and driving their implementation

• Bonus points: Knowledge in manufacturing and how factories operate, basic understanding of the Manufacturing Automation Pyramid

• On-site: Ability to work in person at our HQ in Zurich, Switzerland.

• Engineers who only work on frontend or only work on backend. You must be comfortable across the full stack.

• People who need detailed specs before they start building. You'll work directly with users and define the solution yourself.

• Developers who ship code and move on. You own the outcome — not just the PR.

• Engineers who are uncomfortable with ambiguity or rapidly changing priorities.

• Mission: Rebuild the industrial sovereignty of the West. Your work directly enables the production of mission-critical hardware for defense and space

• Total Ownership: High-stakes autonomy in your domain. You own both the problems and the solutions, and have the authority to execute.

• The Environment: You are building solutions to accelerate production in a 5,000 m² state-of-the-art facility featuring 5-axis CNCs, industrial robots, and industrial plastic and metal 3D printers. Your work affects production of physical parts from day one.

• The Team: Growing team of experienced software engineers, who value an open feedback culture. You may (and are expected to) challenge the status quo, prior decisions and drive SAEKI’s way forward.

• Compensation: Competitive salary + meaningful equity.

• Location: Zurich HQ with occasional travel to Factory ONE in Munich, Germany

• Resume: Focus on systems you've built and owned.
