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
