Software Engineer, Platform
Underneath Horizon and Move sits one model of assets, interventions, obligations and evidence. You build it: the ontology, the connections to our customers’ systems, and the rules and calculations that agents and people rely on.
What you will do
- Extend the ontology, so every record stays connected to its origin.
- Build connections to systems such as SAP, Maximo or GIS that keep running even when the data doesn’t.
- Build engines for costs, deadlines and constraints whose results can be checked by hand.
- Keep the platform dependable and every change traceable.
What you bring
- You have built and run backend systems that deal with real, incomplete data.
- Data models, APIs and distributed systems are your craft, in TypeScript, Python or similar.
- You care that a result is right and backed by evidence, not just that it arrives fast.
This job is for you if
- You do your best work when things are unclear and nobody hands you a plan.
- You are among the best engineers your past teammates have worked with. Your code is simple, works, and is easy for the next person to change or remove.
- You ship small and often. A working version today beats a perfect one next month.
- You love responsibility. You say “I own this”, and you mean it.
- You run swarms of coding agents with confidence in your development work.
This job is not for you if
- You see a problem and wait for someone else to fix it.
- You hold on to things for too long. Arken Labs in six months will look completely different from today.
- You care more about your title than about what you build.
- Your work is just a job to you.
About Arken Labs
Most of the world’s infrastructure was built decades ago. We unlearned how to build it fast and at scale. Arken Labs is building the agentic operating system for physical infrastructure. Horizon helps teams decide where to invest. Move equips teams with AI agents that get the work done. We build for anyone who owns and runs infrastructure, public or private, anywhere in the world.
All roles are full-time and on-site in Berlin Mitte. You will work directly with the founding team.
