Senior Software Engineer, DevEx

About this job

From our base in Oslo, our 90+ experts in defence, software, and AI develop our flagship autonomy and swarm platform used by both government and industry. In close partnership with the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (FFI), we move fast from concept to live deployment, often in the field alongside end users. We work with advanced hardware and software, a modern tech stack, and missions that demand both technical mastery and operational discipline. Everyone is close to the action, from deep technical problem-solving to field operations. We move fast and value clarity, integrity, and teamwork in everything we do. At Six Robotics, every person executes with precision, adapts to changing conditions, and strengthens the team. Getting in is hard, and you’ll be challenged every day. But if you have the skill, the discipline, and the drive to push your limits and always be sharpening your blade, you’ll find no better place to deliver real-world impact while collaborating and learning from the best in the field. About The Role At Six Robotics, we know that achieving our mission requires more than great engineers; it requires an exceptional engineering environment. You will be part of Team Factory, who builds the internal infrastructure and tooling that engineering depends on. Factory is the backbone of how we develop, validate, and ship our autonomous systems. The factory is built just as much for where we are going, in addition to where we are. Most engineers have watched a company make early decisions that looked fine at the time and later turned slow, fragile, or impossible to undo. We are building our software factory so that doesn't happen to us. Customer needs, operations, and our products will keep changing, and how fast we can adapt is a crucial advantage. The systems and standards you build are what let Six Robotics keep evolving without trading away speed, quality, or reliability as we scale. Your customer is engineering. You will build the tooling, automation, internal platforms, and on-premise infrastructure that a growing number of engineers depend on every day. Our engineering platform is built on a range of proven, industry-standard technologies, with Python serving as the common layer that ties much of the system together. You will build on a solid foundation and strengthen it deliberately, ahead of the continuous scaling process we are on. We care about robust engineering defaults: tools that make good practice the easy path, surface problems early, and hold up as the organization grows. What You Will Do You will spend most of your time building and improving the systems and tools engineers use to develop, test, and ship. Build and maintain the internal platform, tooling, and automation that the engineering teams rely on Improve developer experience across engineering: faster feedback, smoother workflows, and fewer ways to get things wrong Develop services, workflows, and automation in Python, using it as the common layer that ties together modern engineering infrastructure and frameworks (e.g. Kubernetes, GitHub Actions, Docker, and related tooling). Set sensible engineering defaults and make them easy to adopt across teams Work directly with engineers to find where they lose time or hit friction Ensure the engineering platform remains reliable, scalable, and maintainable as the organization and development tempo grow What we are looking for You might come from backend, from data engineering, or from platform and DevOps/DevEx, or something else entirely. What matters is that you enjoy writing robust code and you get why that matters here. Factory is where the engineering organization's pace and quality come from. The tooling you build either helps engineers move fast and trust their results, or it quietly holds everyone back. That is the appeal of this team: a small, well-built thing here changes how the whole company performs. We believe the right candidate brings Strong software engineering fundamentals, with proficiency in Python or another language. Most importantly, you need to be motivated to work in Python Experience building tooling, platforms, or infrastructure that other engineers use, and an interest in developer experience Hands-on experience with CI/CD (GitHub Actions or GitLab) and knowledge of Docker A pragmatic mindset: you build systems that are reliable, understandable, and maintainable over time Clear technical communication and the ability to treat engineers as your users A strong sense of responsibility for the quality and reliability of what the team builds Nice to have: Experience working in on-prem environments Experience from a software-to-hardware product environment Experience mentoring engineers or setting technical direction, and interest in a team lead ro
