Manufacturing is entering its biggest transformation in decades. For years, we’ve helped manufacturers digitize their operations through a platform used by leading manufacturers across Europe and North America. From digital work instructions and quality management to traceability, skills and operational excellence, we’ve helped thousands of operators perform their work better, faster and safer. But we’re only getting started. The next generation of manufacturing won’t be driven by software alone. It will be powered by AI that fundamentally changes how work gets done on the factory floor. We’re building a future where work instructions are generated automatically from engineering data, AI agents assist operators in real time, quality documentation is created autonomously, and repetitive administrative work simply disappears. We’re not digitizing existing processes anymore. We’re redesigning manufacturing execution from the ground up. Founded in 2016, Azumuta has grown into one of Europe’s leading Manufacturing SaaS scale-ups, working with some of the world’s most innovative manufacturers across industries including aerospace & defense, industrial machinery, automotive, electronics and medical devices. We’re building what manufacturing will look like over the next decade. If that excites you, you’ll fit right in.
As a Principal Engineer at Azumuta, you operate at chief-architect altitude: you take on the largest, most ambiguous problems in our roadmap and turn them into shipped, well-structured software, largely on your own steam. You're given real workstreams and real trust: you can go heads-down on a hard problem and come back with something clean, coherent and production-ready, without needing anyone to check in on the how. You spend a significant part of your time building real product capabilities across our stack (Node.js, TypeScript, React, PostgreSQL, cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines). At the same time, you shape how the wider team builds, ships and operates software; not by mandating process from above, but by showing what good looks like through your own work and carrying people along with you. You continuously ask questions like:
You work closely with Product to take in real customer problems and direction and you're comfortable being the translation layer: turning product input into clear technical scope, and clearly conveying trade-offs and progress back the other way.
Solve complex product problems Design and implement robust full-stack solutions for complex industrial workflows. Collaborate with Product to translate real-world manufacturing problems into clear, usable software — and help shape what gets built, not just how.
Own the stack end to end Work across backend APIs, frontend components, data flows, and integrations. Improve performance, reliability, and maintainability across the platform. You don't hand off the parts you find less interesting — you see problems through from initiative to delivery.
Ship fast, without breaking things Write clean, scalable, well-tested code. Balance speed with long-term quality and technical ownership.
Build secure, scalable SaaS systems Contribute to a platform that is secure, resilient, and ready to scale to thousands of users across multiple markets.
Measure and improve Use metrics, incidents, and user feedback to continuously improve reliability, performance, and usability.
Lead by example You don't install new practices top-down or through formal process. You raise the bar by doing the work at a high standard, visibly and consistently, and bringing others along with you.
Take on large, ambiguous workstreams independently You're trusted to run with a big, loosely-defined block of work — the kind that takes weeks, not days — and return with something structured and finished, without needing close direction along the way.
Shape agentic development responsibly Be a champion for AI-assisted and agentic development. Experiment, set an example through your own use of it, and help the team move faster without losing control over product knowledge or system complexity.
Translate between product and engineering Take in direction and input from Product, and communicate clearly in both directions — turning ambiguous problems into technical scope, and technical trade-offs into something Product can act on.
Strengthen SaaS operational maturity Bring real-world SaaS experience into everyday decisions: monitoring, alerting, incident awareness, infrastructure as code, and cost-quality trade-offs.
