Senior Software Engineer

At wheel.me we build robotics infrastructure from the ground up - combining custom hardware, embedded systems, real-time robotics software, and cloud-based management tools. Our core innovation, Genius, is the world's first autonomous wheel, transforming ordinary equipment into intelligent mobile robots that operate safely and efficiently in real-world environments. Designed and manufactured in Norway, our systems are deployed to customers worldwide. We're looking for a robotics systems architect who can define the technical direction of our platform and ensure the team builds toward it. This is an architecture-focused engineering role. You'll own the overall system architecture, define clear solutions and requirements for the team, and maintain a technical roadmap that translates direction into execution. You're here to make sure we build the right system.

What you will drive

• Overall system architecture of the wheel.me software platform, including configuration interfaces, observability and monitoring, and communication across our stack
• Technical roadmap - from architectural vision to concrete priorities and actionable tasks
• Solutions and requirements that enable engineering teams to execute with clarity
• Drive architectural decisions and ensure they are communicated and followed through

Required experience

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Cybernetics, Informatics, or similar
• 7+ years of experience in software engineering, with a proven track record in systems architecture roles
• Proven experience designing and delivering robotics systems in real-world production environments, with a track record of systems that are tested, reliable, and well documented
• Experience working across software, hardware, and system integration, with awareness of hardware constraints and real-world tradeoffs
• Experience defining architecture, requirements, and technical roadmaps for engineering teams

What we're looking for

• Strong system-level thinking and end-to-end architectural reasoning
• Strong software engineering fundamentals, including a solid understanding of systems programming concepts - memory management, compilation, real-time constraints, production software practices, standards, and best practices
• Ability to translate high-level architecture into a clear roadmap and execution plan
• Ability to evaluate and communicate trade-offs - technical and business
• Clear, structured technical documentation and communication
• Tech stack flexibility - system thinking over language preference

What we offer

• A strategic role where your architectural decisions directly shape a world-first robotics product
• A collaborative engineering environment with a forward-thinking, international team
• Office at Skøyen, Oslo - centrally located, close to public transport
• Flexible working hours and remote work options
• Competitive salary and benefits
• Opportunities for professional growth and influence over advanced robotics development
