About the Position

At Wandelbots, we are transforming the way people interact with robots. We are building the robotics platform that combines traditional manufacturing with modern software engineering - enabling developers to build robotics applications using modern software engineering principles on top of a reliable robotics core. Cameras are becoming a core part of this platform. From vision-guided robotics to AI-driven applications, the ability to manipulate the physical world depends on sensing the physical world first.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will build the foundation for integrating cameras into our cloud-native platform. Instead of developing one-off integrations, you will design and implement a scalable integration framework that enables both Wandelbots engineers and camera manufacturers to integrate new devices with minimal effort.

Together with other Wandelbots engineers, you will define the architecture, build the first production-ready camera drivers yourself, and create the SDK and interfaces that make future integrations repeatable. Working closely with infrastructure & robotics engineers, product teams, and hardware partners, you will shape how vision devices become a substantial part of the Wandelbots ecosystem. The camera integration framework will become a component of the Wandelbots platform, running inside our Kubernetes infrastructure alongside the rest of our robotics stack.
