Open role · Cluj-Napoca · Full time
Build the systems around the model.
The role
Pexon Romania is hiring a software engineer in Cluj-Napoca to build the services behind its AI work: Python and Java backends, API integrations into ERP and MES systems, and the retrieval pipelines a company brain runs on. The role needs at least three years of backend or full-stack experience. Jobs are based at the Cluj office.
The work
Retrieval
Manuals and engineering drawings arrive with conflicting revisions and different access rights.
Integration
ERP, MES and PLM systems differ by plant and cannot simply stop during a shift.
Serving
An upstream model can become slow, expensive or unavailable.
What you bring
At least three years in backend or full-stack engineering, with a system you can discuss in detail.
Strong in one and comfortable reading the other. Customer systems shape the stack.
Working experience with AWS, Azure or Google Cloud, and Docker.
Relational and non-relational databases, plus CI/CD with GitLab CI, GitHub Actions or Jenkins.
Comfort discussing requirements and trade-offs directly with customer engineers.
Room to grow
You do not need a machine-learning research background or a particular degree. German is helpful, but English is the working requirement.
A person behind the process
HR Business Partner · Recruiting
Laura runs recruiting for the Cluj hub. Your application reaches her first, she answers your questions about the process and the range, and she brings in the engineers you would actually work with. Later in the process you also meet Noel Dinger, who runs the company.
Meet the people behind PexonThe conversation
Share something you have built or operated. Your message reaches Laura Picovici, who runs recruiting for the hub.
A 30–60 minute first conversation about your work and what you want next. Ask for the salary range by email beforehand.
A practical session together, inside working hours. No weekend take-home assignment.
Talk with Noel Dinger about the company and what you would own.
A yes or a no, with a reason. After a technical session, feedback addresses the work discussed.
The role is based at the Cluj-Napoca office. The team is built around people who can work there together. Discuss the current office schedule in the first conversation; this is not a remote-first role.
Yes. Ask in your application email and the range will be shared in the reply, before a technical session. The email preparation form includes an optional request for the range so you can raise it from the start.
No. Nothing in this job trains a model or evaluates an architecture on a benchmark. The work is the system around the model: the retrieval pipeline, the integration into an ERP, the service that has to answer while the source system is having a bad day. The focus is applied engineering and making the surrounding systems work.
Python and Java are the two that recur, on cloud infrastructure the customer already runs, which in practice means AWS, Azure or Google Cloud with containers on top. The retrieval and gateway work is mostly Python. The integration work is wherever the customer's system already lives, and that is sometimes neither.
Enough that you need to be able to run a technical conversation in English without a manager in the middle. Forward deployed means you sit inside the customer's environment and next to their engineers, so requirements arrive in conversation rather than as tickets from a product owner you never meet.
A real problem of the kind the job contains, worked through with the people you would work with. There is no whiteboard algorithm round and no take-home task that expects a weekend of unpaid work. You will be asked what you would do when the data source is wrong, because that is most of the job.
