Join us and experience the difference of working with a team that’s passionate about building high-quality engineering solutions.

The role and the team

We are expanding the team responsible for our core simulation engine, the beating heart of how factories and production lines are modeled, executed and analyzed. This is a highly technical role where you will work on:

  • The simulation execution engine and its performance and scalability

  • The UI and logic for modeling complex workflows

  • Data capture, storage, and analytical tools across desktop and cloud environments

  • Next-generation features such as AI-driven optimization and automatic design evaluation

You will work across architecture, implementation, performance tuning, API design, and large-scale code maintenance, helping evolve a mature and critical product used by industry leaders.

Your impact

As a Software Developer, you will design and implement scalable, maintainable systems, ensuring new features integrate well with existing code. Work will include dealing with technical debt and improving the software to prioritized level. Ensure high standards for code reviews, testing, and documentation, and raising the overall quality of the codebase.

  • Design, implement, and optimize core simulation engine components in modern C++

  • Develop UI and workflow tools: flowchart editors, 2D/3D simulation builders, analytics dashboards

  • Build integrations with AI-driven evaluation and automated reporting systems

  • Design scalable APIs and contribute to long-term architecture evolution

  • Work closely with cross-functional teams to deliver robust features end-to-end

  • Write clean, maintainable, well-tested code in C++ and C#

  • Improve performance, stability, and overall system quality


The skills you will bring

  • Strong professional experience with modern C++ (C++17/20 or newer)

  • Solid experience with C#; Python is a bonus

  • Deep understanding of algorithms, data structures, design patterns, and software architecture

  • Experience with Git, CI/CD pipelines, and modern development workflows

  • Ability to work independently, make technical decisions, and collaborate effectively across teams

  • Experience with robotics, simulation systems, or data analysis is highly beneficial

  • Proficient English communication skills (spoken and written)

Perks of joining us

  • Competitive salary

  • The opportunity to further develop and expand your skills and make an impact on our own platform

  • Flexible working times and remote work

  • An employer who supports in various life situations

  • Safe and stable workplace

  • Skilled co-workers and a supportive supervisor and team

  • Low hierarchy and flexible and relaxed organizational culture

  • Comprehensive personnel benefits, e.g., learning platforms, extensive occupational health care and health insurance, lunch benefit, sport & cultural benefit vouchers

At Visual Components, our most valuable assets are our employees. We treat everyone with honesty and transparency, help each other and do our work with passion.
