About the Role

• We are looking for a forward-thinking Senior Software Engineer (m/f/d) to build the technological backbone of our Computer Vision Team.
• You act as the pipeline architect behind our systems, ensuring that gigantic amounts of image data are streamed, parallelized, and processed with maximum algorithmic speed and lowest possible latency.
• For you, code is not just a means to an end, but the tool to generate real business value. You love to look beyond the IDE, understand the business model, and pour this knowledge into scalable, clean software architectures. If you live Clean Architecture, confidently scale distributed systems, and enjoy collaborating directly with stakeholders on the best solutions, you are our perfect match!

The impact you will create:

• Efficient Image Processing: You develop and optimize high-performance pipelines for processing large amounts of image data, specifically utilizing techniques for parallelization and asynchronous processing.
• Core Backend Development: You design and implement future-proof backend modules according to strict principles of Clean Code and Clean Architecture.
• Data Integration: You coordinate the smooth ingestion and flow of image streams and metadata into our storage and cloud infrastructure.
• Business & Stakeholder Alignment: You are in regular exchange with customers and internal stakeholders, ensuring complex business and performance goals are precisely translated into code.
• Local Team Guidance & Mentoring: You act as a technical lead, helping to structurally build, guide, and mentor future mid- and junior-level engineers as our team grows.

Experience and skills you will need: (Must-Haves)

• Python & Parallelization: Excellent programming skills in Python, with deep experience in parallel data processing and asynchronous workflows.
• Architecture & Quality: You routinely apply "Clean Code" and "Clean Architecture" to build high-performance backend systems.
• Infrastructure Basics: Good practical handling of Docker containers to integrate your modules into our Kubernetes environment.
• Leadership Drive & Communication: Pronounced communication and collaboration strength. You have proven experience or a strong natural drive to mentor engineers, question processes, and guide a local technical team.
