Based at our new HQ in Zurich (Oerlikon), you'll build:

Customer Portal: CAD upload, automated quotes, order management, secure document exchange, real-time tracking

Factory OS (ERP/MES): Job scheduling, work order management, operator interfaces, production tracking, quality workflows

Note: You do not need defense or manufacturing experience to excel in this role What You'll Do

• Build and ship customer portal features that defense customers rely on for mission-critical parts
• Architect ERP/MES functionality that operators use to run Factory ONE in Germany
• Spend time in the factory understanding how your interfaces work under production pressure, then improve them
• Own features end-to-end - from database schema to API design to frontend implementation
• Work directly with customers, CAM programmers, and operators to understand their workflows

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years of experience as a software engineer, with a proven track record of shipping production-ready applications.
• Technical Excellence: Strong command of TypeScript, React, and modern backend patterns. Comfortable with PostgreSQL optimization and API design.
• Technical Agency: You are comfortable making decisions with minimal supervision and have a passion for building interfaces that solve complex user workflows.
• Impact-Driven: You understand how technical decisions in Zurich impact the operators and machines on the shop floor in Germany.
• Adaptability: You thrive in a constantly evolving environment with dynamic objectives and enjoy iterating directly with users to solve "ground truth" problems.
• Continuous Learning: You have the ability to quickly master new technologies and industrial concepts even without prior experience.
• Maniacal Urgency: You understand that speed is our only edge. You thrive in the "chaos-to-order" phase of a startup.
• First Principles Thinker: You don't reason by analogy. You reason by physics and economics. You calculate the "Idiot Index" of every feature before you build it.
• Industrial Grit: You are comfortable spending time on the shop floor in Germany to see how your software interacts with 50-ton machines.
• Ability to work in-person at our HQ in Zurich, Switzerland.

Life at SAEKI

• Mission: Rebuild Europe's industrial backbone. Your code enables defense programs.
• Impact: Own features that determine whether parts ship in weeks or months.
• Growth: Opportunity to lead projects and potentially build a team as the company scales.
• Team: "Special Forces" model. Everyone senior, everyone ships. Direct feedback, high standards.
• Compensation: Competitive salary + meaningful equity at a Series A company with defense traction.
• Location: Zurich HQ (required) with hybrid options (typically 1-2 days WFH per week).

About Us SAEKI is building the operating system for autonomous factories. The infrastructure that lets Europe manufacture mission-critical components at software speed.
