• Communicate effectively across engineering, product, and stakeholder teams.
• Develop deep expertise in materials handling automation and warehouse technologies.

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related field (or equivalent experience).

• Solid understanding of API design for clientserver applications, including RESTful APIs.
• Proactive mindset around best practices, security, and modern development approaches.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills.

Why Join KPI Solutions?

• High ownership, high impact: you’ll set standards and build the platform other engineers ship on.
• Modernization work: containerization, automation, observability, and security improvements that matter in production.
• Cross-regional collaboration: partner closely with our EMEA DevOps teammate to build repeatable operations.
• Hybrid flexibility: onsite Mon-Wed, remote Thu-Fri.
