Principal Software Engineer

Manufacturo powers operations for companies building satellites, fusion reactors, next-generation aircraft, and hypersonic vehicles. Our clients are working on some of the most advanced industrial programs in the world — and they rely on software that can keep up. Companies such as Hermeus, Relativity Space, and Sierra Space use Manufacturo to run complex manufacturing operations with greater control, traceability, and speed.

We're a SaaS company with a team that includes former leaders from SpaceX. We move fast, operate globally, and make decisions swiftly - because the people we serve can't afford anything less. Your voice will be heard here, and the work you do will have a real impact on the world.

We are hiring a Principal Software Engineer to help shape the technical future of our platform. This role is for someone who wants to solve hard backend problems, guide architecture with sound judgment, and raise the level of other engineers through mentorship, communication, and strong engineering standards.

The Role

As a Principal Platform Engineer at Manufacturo, you'll work at both levels: deep in the hardest problems on the platform, and wide enough to set the standard for others to follow. You'll define the architecture, raise the quality bar, and make sure the right technical decisions are made, not by directing from a distance, but by being the person in the room whose opinion carries weight because the work backs it up.

This role requires both deep hands-on technical contribution and the ability to multiply the impact of others. We need someone who can take on the hardest problems while also helping senior developers and leads make better technical decisions through teaching, feedback, and clear standards.

You will report directly to the Director of Software Engineering and act as their technical partner across the organization. This is a individual contributor role with no people management responsibilities.

You should be comfortable working in a high-change environment where priorities evolve, new information appears quickly, and strong technical judgment is needed to keep teams moving in the right direction without losing quality.

What you’ll get in return

• • Real authority, real access. Direct collaboration with the CPO and Director of Development. Your decisions will be heard, debated, and acted on - with organizational backing to make standards stick.
• Customers building the next century. Rockets, fusion reactors, hypersonic systems. The problems you solve here have consequences that matter.
• People who will match you. You'll work alongside engineers and leaders with backgrounds from SpaceX and other high-bar organizations. Expect to be challenged, not just followed.
• AI at the foundation, not the edge. You'll be building the architecture that makes AI native to the platform - not retrofitting it later.
• Hybrid working with three days in our Kraków office, comprehensive healthcare including life insurance, and a Multisport Card.
• This role is for someone serious about their craft. If that is you, we would like to talk.
