What does the company do?
The company is building an open-source data platform for robotics and physical AI. It tackles a hard infrastructure problem: today's tools for storing, indexing and retrieving high-frequency sensor data are either too basic or too painful to use at scale.
The core is Apache 2.0 licensed, with a public roadmap and an active community (1,200+ stars on GitHub). On top of it, they're building a commercial offering for teams in defence, automotive and agritech.
What's it like working here?
A small, engineering-led team based in Reggio Emilia, working fully remote with flexible hours.
They build in the open: the codebase is meant to be read and contributed to, not just used, which is still rare among Italian companies.
A lean stack with few layers, where each engineer's decisions actually shape the product.
The challenge: making robotics data useful to people who don't write code.
Today the platform is accessed through an SDK and a CLI. The next step is a dashboard that lets data analysts, project leads and operations staff browse sequences, monitor ingestion, track storage growth and transfer data straight from a browser.
The data is high-frequency, multimodal and context-rich, so the real challenge isn't the UI: it's turning that complexity into something immediately useful.
The Software Engineer will own the application end to end:
- designing and building the FastAPI backend: endpoints, data models and integration with the platform's core engine
- building a multi-page, server-rendered frontend with htmx,
adding client-side reactivity only where it's really needed instead of defaulting to a heavy SPA
- delivering the core views: catalog explorer, ingestion monitor, storage analytics and data transfer
- defining the data model and query patterns behind the BI layer
- owning containerization and deployment, from Dockerfiles to the deployment pipeline
- contributing to the open-source codebase and engaging with the community
Who are we looking for? An engineer with a strong Python backend who enjoys shipping complete products and keeping the stack simple.
Ideal candidates will have
- solid experience designing and building APIs in Python with FastAPI
- strong web fundamentals, with experience in server-rendered, multi-page applications and progressive enhancement
- hands-on experience containerizing and deploying Python applications with Docker
- a good grasp of BI concepts and of what makes a data interface genuinely useful for non-technical users
- the autonomy to drive technical decisions within a small team
- fluent English, written and spoken
Nice to have: hands-on htmx (or a strong interest in its approach), Pandas or Polars, a background in data engineering or pipelines, familiarity with robotics or sensor data, open-source contributions. They're looking for someone who wants to own a product from query design to production deploy, and who cares about code that others can read and build on.
The offer
- Gross salary €35–60K, based on experience, level and location
- Stock options
- Welfare package
- Full remote with flexible hours, optional office access in Reggio Emilia
- Full ownership of a product used by robotics and physical AI teams
