Sr. Python Engineer bei X-Bow Systems

X-Bow Systems is growing quickly and has a new position we are looking to fill!

About Us:

We're a fast-moving team that builds software that controls and automates the production of solid rocket motor propellant. Our mission is to make complex industrial systems that do this more flexible, reliable, and intuitive - and we need sharp engineers who love solving real-world problems with clean, maintainable code.

What You'll Do

• Own major parts of our Python stack - from design to deployment.
• Build process automation and control software that enables our solid rocket motor propellant production facilities.
• Collaborate with controls engineers, roboticists, and product designers to ship features that matter.
• Write clean, tested code (and push the team to do the same).
• Help shape the team's technical direction as we scale in both headcount and scope.
• Mentor teammates and share knowledge - we win together.

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years of professional Python experience - you know the language inside out.
• Strong track record of building and maintaining production software.
• Comfort with APIs, Linux dev environments, and modern dev practices (git, CI/CD, testing).
• Someone who thrives in startup environments: proactive, adaptable, and excited to figure things out.

Bonus Points For

• Experience with industrial controls (PLCs, SCADA, OPC UA).
• Hands-on work with robotics tools like ROS/ROS2 or MoveIT.
• A background in automation, manufacturing, or robotics.
• Experience with Python GUI frameworks like NiceGUI or Reflex

Why You'll Love It Here

• You'll work on real robots and real-world automation challenges - not just abstract software.
• Huge opportunity to influence the tech stack and company direction.
• A tight-knit, collaborative team that values creativity and impact over bureaucracy.
• Competitive pay, meaningful equity, and the flexibility to do your best work.
