Senior Backend Python Developer (m/w/d)

About us

We're on a mission to enable industrial companies to establish real-time autonomous decision making in their planning and scheduling processes. While the amount of available data is growing in industrial companies, it is rarely used to its full potential. Our software has the capability to transform the scheduling and planning processes especially in production facitilities all around the world.

We work with some of the largest industrial companies of the process industry. Combined with our recent strong funding round it is time to extend our technical core team to get ready for the next scaling challenges
