Senior Software Engineer, DevEx

At Six Robotics, we build intelligent software that gives Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) the ability to collaborate, adapt on the fly, and execute missions that were previously impossible. From our base in Oslo, our 70+ experts in defence, software, and AI develop our flagship autonomy and swarm platform used by government and industry. In close partnership with the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (FFI), we move fast from concept to live deployment, often in the field alongside end users.

We work with advanced hardware and software, a modern tech stack, and missions that demand technical mastery and operational discipline. Everyone is close to the action, from deep technical problem-solving to field operations. We move fast and value clarity, integrity, and teamwork in everything we do.

At Six Robotics, every person executes with precision, adapts to changing conditions, and strengthens the team. Getting in is hard, and you will be challenged every day. If you have the skill, the discipline, and the drive to push your limits and constantly sharpen your skills, you’ll find no better place to deliver real-world impact while collaborating and learning from the best in the field.

About the Role

At Six Robotics, we know that achieving our mission requires not only great engineers but an exceptional engineering environment. You will be part of Team Factory, which builds the internal infrastructure and tooling that engineering depends on. Factory is the backbone of how we develop, validate, and ship our autonomous systems.

What You Will Do

• Build and maintain the internal platform, tooling, and automation that the engineering teams rely on.
• Improve developer experience across engineering: faster feedback, smoother workflows, and fewer ways to get things wrong.
• Develop services, workflows, and automation in Python, using it as the common layer that ties together modern engineering infrastructure and frameworks such as Kubernetes, GitHub Actions, Docker and related tooling.
• Set sensible engineering defaults and make them easy to adopt across teams.
• Work directly with engineers to find where they lose time or hit friction.
• Ensure the engineering platform remains reliable, scalable, and maintainable as the organization and development tempo grow.

What We Are Looking For

• Strong software engineering fundamentals, with proficiency in Python or another language. Most importantly, you need to be motivated to work in Python.
• Experience building tooling, platforms, or infrastructure that other engineers use, with an interest in developer experience.
• Hands‑on experience with CI/CD (GitHub Actions or GitLab) and knowledge of Docker.
• A pragmatic mindset: you build systems that are reliable, understandable, and maintainable over time.
• Clear technical communication and the ability to treat engineers as your users.
• A strong sense of responsibility for the quality and reliability of what the team builds.

Nice to Have

• Experience working in on‑prem environments.
• Experience from a software‑to‑hardware product environment.
• Experience mentoring engineers or setting technical direction, and interest in a team lead role.
• A track record of helping shape how a team works in its early days, not just contributing to an established one.

Why You Should Join

• Work on problems that matter: Our technology helps unlock smarter, safer, and more adaptable UAV operations in defense and industry.
• Lead the shift in a hardware‑dominated space: We bring modern AI, autonomy, and scalable software to a field that has long relied on rigid, pre‑programmed systems, changing how UAVs are designed, deployed, and managed.
• Build from zero, shape the future: Join early and help define the core systems, tools, and culture of a company that is still being built – your ideas, code, and decisions will have a lasting influence.
• Work with purpose, supported by great benefits: competitive pay, equity potential, strong insurance and pension plans, and ongoing learning opportunities.

Our Commitment to Inclusion

At Six Robotics, we are committed to creating a workplace built on respect, integrity, and collaboration. We value different perspectives and experiences. We encourage all qualified candidates to apply and help us build technology that makes a real impact.

Security Clearance Requirement: All employees at Six Robotics are required to undergo a security clearance due to our close collaboration with the Norwegian Armed Forces. While prior clearance is not necessary, the clearance process will be initiated as part of onboarding.
