ABOUT THE TEAM

Our Client is the software engineering team behind mission-critical, high-availability systems used by international customers across Europe, North America, Africa and the Middle East.

We're currently investing heavily in software stabilization, CI/CD automation and modernized test environments — a great time to join.

THE ROLE

We're looking for a Software Engineer for a hands-on role spanning software maintenance, customer support, systems integration and configuration across a diverse portfolio of international sites. You'll take ownership of maintaining our installed base — troubleshooting production issues, performing root cause analysis and coordinating with stakeholders — while also driving integration projects that connect our software with third-party industrial systems.

• Perform root cause analysis on complex, multi-system issues and implement lasting fixes
• Lead technical integration projects, building and maintaining connectors between our software and third-party industrial equipment
• Configure high-availability and redundancy setups; provide 2nd/3rd-line support across our application suite
• Work with industrial communication protocols (e.g. OPC UA) and message brokers to enable real-time data processing
• Produce technical documentation, contribute to the internal knowledge base and support continuous-improvement initiatives

WHAT YOU BRING

• 3+ years in software engineering, systems integration or technical support — ideally in an industrial, logistics or mission-critical 24/7 environment
• Strong debugging and root cause analysis across application, database, network and protocol layers
• Excellent written & verbal communication; comfortable with international customers and vendors
• Bachelor's/Master's in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Industrial Automation, or equivalent experience

NICE TO HAVE

• Experience in industrial, logistics or transportation technology
• Familiarity with industrial control systems, SCADA or PLC integration
• ITIL or similar service-management experience
• Knowledge of French (spoken & written) is a must
• DevOps/CI-CD and infrastructure-as-code familiarity
