Product engineer

Manufacturing is entering its biggest transformation in decades.
For years, we’ve helped manufacturers digitize their operations through a platform used by leading manufacturers across Europe and North America. From digital work instructions and quality management to traceability, skills and operational excellence, we’ve helped thousands of operators perform their work better, faster and safer.
But we’re only getting started.
The next generation of manufacturing won’t be driven by software alone. It will be powered by AI that fundamentally changes how work gets done on the factory floor. We’re building a future where work instructions are generated automatically from engineering data, AI agents assist operators in real time, quality documentation is created autonomously, and repetitive administrative work simply disappears.
We’re not digitizing existing processes anymore. We’re redesigning manufacturing execution from the ground up.
Founded in 2016, Azumuta has grown into one of Europe’s leading Manufacturing SaaS scale-ups, working with some of the world’s most innovative manufacturers across industries including aerospace & defense, industrial machinery, automotive, electronics and medical devices.
We’re building what manufacturing will look like over the next decade. If that excites you, you’ll fit right in.

As a Product Engineer, your role will focus on shaping the Azumuta product as part of a team, with coaching and growing ownership.

Strong full-stack engineers are very welcome. Heavy backend specialists are equally welcome, because much of what we are building is deeply backend-shaped: AI agents and orchestration, structured execution data at granular depth, deep integrations with the IT systems our customers already run, multi-tenant and on-prem deployment topologies.

Specialization in the right area is what makes a senior engineer exceptional, rather than spread thin.

Founded in 2016, Azumuta is a Manufacturing SaaS scale-up providing digital solutions to factories worldwide. We are building the execution platform for hybrid manufacturing: the system that orchestrates work on the shop floor across humans, AI agents, and robotic systems.

And the bet on top is bigger: vision-based step verification, agentic execution supervision, autonomous continuous improvement, factory replay for model training. None of this is slideware. It is what we are building over the coming years.

• Work instructions from video. A process engineer records a short video of an operation; our system produces a structured, version-controlled instruction the team can review and ship.

• A continuous-improvement agent. Dashboards already show deviations. We want an agent that proposes evidence-backed instruction changes: not "cycle time is up on station 3" but "rework concentrates on step 7, here is the fix and the data behind it."

• Multi-level BOMs and nested assemblies. Industrial products are deeply nested; we handle the leaves but not the tree. Data model, variant rollup, integration with engineering data, routing. Foundational, and what unlocks our most variant-heavy customers.

Our core stack today is Node.js, TypeScript, React, and MongoDB on cloud infrastructure.

The upcoming work stretches it significantly: LLM and agent orchestration, MCP-style tool use, computer vision for shop-floor verification, video understanding for instruction generation, software interfaces for robots and humanoids on the factory floor, observability and deployment across multi-tenant SaaS, private cloud, and on-prem / air-gapped factories.

Strong experience in Java, .NET, Go, Python or similar is fine. Mindset matters more than prior framework experience. Learning a stack is easier than learning how to think about software at scale.

We are building the execution platform for hybrid manufacturing: the system that orchestrates work on the shop floor across humans, AI agents, and robotic systems.

The platform is used daily by thousands of operators across Europe to design, execute, and continuously improve work in high-mix, low-volume factories. The technical reality is rich: multi-level BOMs, variant-heavy product structures, sequence-dependent execution, version-controlled executable work.

And the bet on top is bigger: vision-based step verification, agentic execution supervision, autonomous continuous improvement, factory replay for model training. None of this is slideware. It is what we are building over the coming years.

• A real builder, with depth: we’re looking for junior, medior and experienced people. Ideally, you do have some experience building real software products, preferrably a SaaS one. You have shipped to real users, lived through incidents, made trade-offs around reliability, observability, and cost. Full-stack capable, with real depth on one side:

  • Backend: distributed systems, multi-tenant SaaS, AI and agent orchestration, integration with industrial systems, video and ML pipelines.

  • Frontend: complex application UX, real-time interfaces, offline-capable tablet apps, performant data-dense dashboards.

• Building with modern AI. You are excited about agentic development, not skeptical. You already use Claude Code, Cursor, or similar agent-based tools in your daily work to plan, write code, and test. You want to push further: orchestrate multiple agents in parallel to multiply your output while still shipping high-quality software you and the team actually understand. Hands-on with at least some of: agent loops and tool use, multi-agent orchestration, evals, prompt and context engineering. You do not need the answer yet. You do need the drive to get there.

• A continuous improvement mindset. You see how the team works as something to be improved, not accepted. Tooling, processes, feedback loops, all of it. You bring concrete proposals, not just complaints. Some examples:

  • If our p90 cycle time is 10 days and you do not find that annoying, this role is not for you.

  • If you cannot run the full test suite efficiently before merging a PR and that is fine with you, same answer.

• Pragmatic, driven, honest. You say what you think, including when it is uncomfortable. You take feedback the same way. You take ownership. When something is broken, you do not wait for someone else to pick it up.

• Wants to work in a team. You explain technical decisions clearly to PMs, designers, and engineers, and you can disagree in a way that moves the conversation forward. If your default mode is to disappear into headphones for two weeks and resurface with a PR nobody can review, this is not the right place for you.

• A team lifter. You are not a manager and we do not expect you to be one. But seniors here lift the team: through code review, mentoring, and being someone other engineers genuinely want to work with.

• Bonus, not required. Experience in B2B SaaS or manufacturing / industrial software. Experience with our stack.
