Perfect command of English; German is a plus. ## Description Symmetric control plane: You build and maintain a single command path so the same controls drive virtual and live targets identically, and stay consistent under load. Connectivity: You build the connectors and real-time links that keep the twin and its simulator in sync with the robots, controllers, and services around them - including device-data ingestion (Fast DDS) - at consistently low latency. API-first architecture & SDKs: You design and own the cross-cutting API/SDK layer every area builds on, generating language-agnostic SDKs from the scene definition format so the twin engine embeds cleanly into external developer environments. Distributed-systems robustness: You set deployment standards - service boundaries, backpressure, failure and reconnection semantics - instrument transport for latency and throughput, and harden services under load. Contracts & compatibility: You own the binary data-exchange schema and the scene definition format as the shared boundary between frontend, SDKs, and the simulation backend, plus SDK ergonomics, the auth model for programmatic access, and backward-compatibility policy. ## Related Videos - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [Robots are coming into the wild!
