About the role

πŸ€“ About Luminovo
At Luminovo, we’re building the infrastructure that turns the electronics supply chain into something software can read and act on. Our customers use it to quote PCBAs faster, find cost savings and act on risks in their supply chain.
We serve 300+ customers, from Europe’s largest EMS to category-leading OEMs, with around 100 Luminerds across Munich, Berlin, New York and Austin. We’re backed by Chalfen Ventures, Cherry Ventures and General Catalyst. With data centers and robotics driving demand for electronics, someone needs to manage that supply chain, and they’ll need good software to do it. (Here’s why we care so much about electronics.)

πŸš€ Your role
Team Core is our platform team. Its job is to make all our other engineering teams more productive and to improve our codebase and infrastructure as a whole. You’ll:
Keep our DevOps setup and CI/CD pipelines fast and reliable

Build tools every team needs (e.g. interface for building permissions)

Act as an in-house Rust expert: our backend is a Rust monolith, and Team Core helps the other teams use good Rust patterns and architecture

Be responsible for the Developer Experience (DX).

Help our engineers use agents more productively

Other details
Location: remote-first, within two hours of CET. We prefer Munich > Berlin > Germany > Europe.

Tech stack: Rust, TypeScript + React, Postgres, Clickhouse, Redis, Kafka, Kubernetes, Helm, Flux

πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ Some of the work in this role falls under US export control regulations (ITAR), so you must be a US citizen. You’ll need to be based in Europe, and if you’re currently in the US, we’ll support your relocation to Germany.

πŸ–²οΈ Our tech stack
We always try to use the best tools available for the job. Don't worry, we don't need you to be familiar with all of these:
Main monolith is written in Rust (using actix-web as our web framework), deployed on Kubernetes

React and Typescript for frontend

PostgreSQL for persisting our data

Redis for caching and queues

Flux for GitOps

Honeycomb, Prometheus and Grafana for monitoring and observability

garden-io for developing on Kubernetes

Azure and Cloudflare for cloud computing
