At enabl, we bring AI into the physical world. While everyone else is busy automating office jobs, we're tackling one of logistics' biggest unsolved problems: 25 million industrial vehicles worldwide are still operated manually. Our hybrid system bridges the intelligence of experienced operators with cutting-edge automation — learning from every deployment to get smarter over time. Leading companies in logistics, automotive, and consumer goods already rely on our technology.
Join us and help shape the roadmap to fully autonomous intralogistics. In this role, you'll be working on the nervous system of our platform - the software that ensures low-latency, reliable data transmission so our forklifts can be safely remote-controlled in real time, across Europe.

Your mission
What We Offer
- True Flexibility: Work from wherever you're most productive. We're fully remote-friendly within the DACH region, with just 1–2 days per month in our Karlsruhe office for team syncs.
- Real Ownership: In a flat-hierarchy startup environment, your ideas don't disappear into a backlog. You'll directly shape our technical roadmap and see your work shipped into production.
- The enabl Package: A great team, regular team events, a job ticket or free parking, and a fully stocked kitchen with snacks and drinks.
- A Cutting-Edge Setup: Modern workspaces, high-end development hardware, and our own test hall right next to the office: built for developing complex real-time systems.
- A Stake in the Outcome: On top of a competitive salary, you'll participate in our Employee Participation Plan (VSOP), giving you a direct share in enabl's long-term growth.
Your tasks
- Build and evolve our software stack in modern C++ and Python, ensuring reliable communication between remotely operated vehicles and control stations.
- Keep video streams and control data running smoothly under real-world network conditions - from writing the code to live testing on actual vehicles.
- Dig into connectivity issues reported from the field and implement lasting fixes, not workarounds.
- Build test infrastructure and CI pipelines that let us simulate network scenarios automatically.
- Actively contribute to the technical direction of our connectivity stack.
Your profile
You have solid C++ experience and have already gotten your hands dirty in at least one of these areas: network or wireless development, real-time systems, video pipelines (e.g. GStreamer), or robotics (e.g. ROS2). Everything else, we'll figure out together.
- Technical Foundation: 5+ years of professional experience; fluent in modern C++ and Python on Linux.
- Systems Thinker, Self-Starter: You don't just look at problems at the feature level. You zoom out, see the bigger picture, and find solutions even when the path isn't obvious. You drive your work forward without needing hand-holding.
- Language: Confident in English; basic German is a plus, and we love it when people are motivated to improve it day-to-day.
- Bonus Points: Your application earns a gold star if you bring experience in DevOps, cloud engineering, automated testing, or embedded Linux.
