As Software Developer, you build and maintain the web applications and backend services behind Ace Aquatec’s digital platform, working across the stack from Python-based services to the interfaces our customers and field teams use.

- A degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
- Strong understanding of Python and common frameworks (e.g. Django, Flask).
- Familiarity with front-end technologies (React, HTML, CSS, JavaScript) sufficient to work across the stack.
- Basic knowledge of database systems and SQL.
- Proficient with version control (Git) and modern development workflows.
It would be great if you also have
- Knowledge of AI/ML for computer vision or data analytics.
- Experience with cloud computing and databases.
- Familiarity with IoT communication protocols (MQTT, HTTP) or edge devices.
- Firmware development experience.
The successful candidate will be
- Versatile, comfortable moving across the stack as needed.
- A persistent problem-solver.
- Collaborative and communicative with both technical and non-technical colleagues.
- Flexible and willing to adapt priorities as the team’s needs change.
