Senior Full Stack Engineer

ppSAEKI - Manufacturing at software speed /p pEurope's defense industrial base cannot respond at the speed modern conflict requires. Legacy suppliers operate on month-long timelines. Tribal knowledge is retiring. Supply chains are fragile. SAEKI is building the operating system for autonomous factories — the infrastructure that lets Europe manufacture mission-critical components at software speed. /p pYou'll build the customer-facing portal and factory operating system features that connect our customers to our factory. When a critical defense program needs parts by next week, your code is how they get them. /p h3The Role /h3 pAs a Senior Full Stack Engineer on our Platform team, you'll own development of our customer portal and ERP/MES systems — the interface between our Manufacturing Intelligence stack and the humans who use it.

You'll architect features from customer CAD upload to real-time order tracking to operator work instructions. /p pBased at our HQ in Zurich (Oerlikon), you'll build: /p pCustomer Portal: CAD upload, automated quoting, order management, secure document exchange, real-time production tracking. /p por /p pFactory OS (ERP/MES): Job scheduling, work order management, operator interfaces, production dashboards, quality workflows. /p pNote: You do not need defense or manufacturing experience to excel in this role. /p h3What We're Looking For /h3 ul li5+ years of experience as a software engineer with a proven track record of shipping production-ready applications. /li liTechnical Excellence: Strong command of TypeScript, React, and modern backend patterns (Go, Python, or Rust).

Comfortable with PostgreSQL optimization and API design. /li liEnd-to-End Ownership: You own features from database schema to API design to frontend implementation. You don't wait for someone else to handle "the other half." /li liTechnical Agency: Comfortable making decisions with minimal supervision. You have a passion for building interfaces that solve complex user workflows. /li liFirst Principles Thinker: You reason by physics and economics, not analogy. /li liIndustrial Grit: Comfortable spending time on the shop floor in Germany to see how your software interacts precision machinery. /li liManiacal Urgency: You understand that speed is our only edge.

You thrive in the "chaos-to-order" phase of a startup. /li liOn-site: Ability to work in-person at our HQ in Zurich, Switzerland. /li /ul h3What we're not looking for /h3 ul liEngineers who only work on frontend or only work on backend. You must be comfortable across the full stack. /li liPeople who need detailed specs before they start building. You'll work directly with users and define the solution yourself. /li liDevelopers who ship code and move on. You own the outcome — not just the PR. /li liEngineers who are uncomfortable with ambiguity or rapidly changing priorities. /li /ul h3What we offer /h3 ul liMission: Rebuild the industrial sovereignty of the West. Your work directly enables the production of mission-critical hardware for defense and space. /li liTotal Ownership: High-stakes autonomy in your domain.

You own both the problems and the solutions — and have the authority to execute. /li liThe Environment: Access to a 5,000m² state-of-the-art facility featuring 5-axis CNCs, industrial robots, and industrial 3D printers. Your work runs on real hardware from day one. /li liThe Team: "Special Forces" model. Everyone senior, everyone ships. No politics, no bureaucracy. Direct feedback, high standards. /li liCompensation: Competitive salary + meaningful equity. /li liLocation: Zurich HQ or Factory ONE in Munich, depending on role.
