About the role
As our Backend Software Engineer, you will be the main lead for developing, maintaining, and improving the internal software tools used across the organization. A large part of the role is ensuring that existing tools continue to meet business needs, while also identifying opportunities for new functionality and smarter ways of working. You will play a key role in supporting the team's digital transition toward a stronger development environment centered around Azure DevOps and Git for version control. This role also serves as an important link between Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT), requiring an understanding of how software solutions support industrial automation environments. This means not only working hands-on with development, but also helping decide which tools should be further developed, optimized, or phased out. In the short term, your focus will be to take ownership of the internal tools and bring them to a level that better supports internal customers. Long term, you will help shape the future tool landscape and begin contributing to PLC and HMI-based software development.
Responsibilities
- Lead the development and maintenance of internal software tools used by the local organization and the Automation Development Team
- Improve and expand existing tools based on requirements from R&D projects and internal focus areas
- Take ownership of the Control System Configurator (CSC) and drive improvements based on internal customer needs
- Support the team's digital transformation by building a stronger development environment using Azure DevOps and Git
- Evaluate current tools and make decisions on what should be maintained, improved, or eliminated
- Act as the architect behind the tools, influencing technical direction and executing development strategies
- Contribute to future work involving PLC and HMI-based software solutions
- Who are you

- Good understanding of object-oriented programming concepts such as inheritance, abstraction, and polymorphism
