JOB DETAILS

We are looking for a Full Stack Software Engineer to join the R&D team of a company developing professional industrial 3D printing systems.

This role spans the entire software stack, from desktop applications and system-level software, through firmware and embedded controllers, to cloud-connected services and infrastructure.

The role suits a pragmatic engineer who enjoys owning complex systems end-to-end and working across multiple layers of software rather than being confined to a single domain.

• Work on large, modular codebases with a strong focus on maintainability, performance, and scalability
• Debug, analyse, and optimise complex software systems
• Contribute to architectural decisions and long-term software strategy

Embedded & Firmware Development

• Develop and maintain firmware-level components for embedded controllers within 3D printing systems
• Interface desktop software with embedded firmware and real-time systems
• Collaborate closely with electronics and hardware teams during development, validation, and testing
• Support system-level integration and troubleshooting across software and hardware boundaries

Cloud & Connectivity

• Contribute to cloud-based services and infrastructure, supporting connectivity, data exchange, and system monitoring
• Develop or integrate web services and REST APIs where required
• Support DevOps practices, version control, and deployment workflows

General Responsibilities

• Produce clear technical documentation
• Participate in code reviews and technical discussions
• Act as a key technical contributor within the software team

ESSENTIAL EXPERIENCE

• Strong commercial experience with modern C++ and C#
• Solid understanding of software architecture and design principles
• Experience working with multi-threaded, asynchronous, and performance-critical systems
• Proven background in complex, multi-component software environments
• Experience with firmware or embedded software development on microcontroller platforms (e.g. STM32 or similar)
• Understanding of embedded constraints, hardware interfaces, and system integration
• Strong experience with Visual Studio and/or Visual Studio Code
• Comfortable working in collaborative development environments
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills

NICE TO HAVE

• Desktop frameworks such as WPF, .NET MAUI, or cross-platform UI frameworks
• Communication protocols: Serial, Ethernet, Bluetooth
• Embedded C and real-time systems
• Cloud platforms such as AWS and/or Microsoft Azure
• REST APIs, web services, or backend integration
• DevOps practices and Git-based version control
• Prior exposure to industrial systems, automation, or additive manufacturing

QUALIFICATIONS

• Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or similar
• (or equivalent practical experience)
• Fluent English, written and spoken
• Strong motivation to learn and contribute to advanced industrial and additive manufacturing systems
