Our team orchestrates vertical lift cells, which control how packages move between robots and input/output stations. The systems you work on will operate in real time and directly impact throughput, efficiency, and reliability in production environments. We want you to apply if you succeed in ambiguity and can identify problems and their corresponding solutions. We are looking for: * Strong problem-solvers who enjoy understanding how complex systems behave * Curious and proactive engineers who yearn to learn and improve things around them * Curious people to work on systems where software interacts with the physical world You'll work alongside experienced engineers while taking on meaningful ownership. What we do We are the Platform Services team responsible for orchestrating vertical lift cells, a critical control point in how packages move through the system. We build services that coordinate lift behavior in real time, focusing on efficiency and performance. This includes solving optimization problems around movement and flow, where incremental improvements have measurable system impact. We also develop shared platform services used by multiple teams, working at the intersection of distributed systems and physical automation. What you'll do * Contribute to building and maintaining core services for lift orchestration and platform systems. * Write production-quality code in C# / .NET (and related technologies). * Help improve system performance, reliability, and observability. * Work with senior engineers to debug and resolve production issues. * Learn to reason about real-time system behavior and distributed interactions. * Use data and metrics to understand and improve system performance. * Contribute ideas and take ownership of features or improvements. ## Related Videos - [This Is Not Your Father's .NET](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/967-this-is-not-your-father-s-net) - [Phel, a native Lisp for PHP](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/791-phel-a-native-lisp-for-php) - [Designing the Future of Human<>Agent Collaboration](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1447-designing-the-future-of-human-agent-collaboration) - [Car's are Technology on Wheels - Impact of Software and IT Competence in Automotive](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/780-car-s-are-technology-on-wheels-impact-of-software-and-it-competence-in-automotive) - [Hacking C# from the inside - how to do anything in NET](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/117-hacking-c-from-the-inside-how-to-do-anything-in-net) - [Remote Driving on Plant Grounds with State-of-the-Art Cloud Technologies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/251-remote-driving-on-plant-grounds-with-state-of-the-art-cloud-technologies) ## Related Articles - [Software Engineer Career: Things You Should Know](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/143-software-engineer-career-things-you-should-know) - [Is Software Engineering Hard?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/448-is-software-engineering-hard) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Best Countries for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/267-best-countries-for-software-engineers) - [What is Software Engineering?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/289-what-is-software-engineering)
