Build and scale a real-time data platform that runs hundreds of Benthos pipelines inside a single Docker container, processing millions of industrial messages that control actual production processes.
Design APIs and data flows connecting PLCs, sensors, ERP/MES systems into one coherent “Unified Namespace” using Redpanda (Kafka-compatible)
Build robust data pipelines that survive network outages, buffer locally, and guarantee message delivery for mission-critical factory operations
Fast shipping with safety nets - PRs to production in
Tech Stack: Go, Svelte, Typescript
Experience in early-stage startup environments (small teams, high autonomy)
~3–5 years of professional software engineering experience
~ Active contributions to open-source projects
~ Ideally familiarity with IT/OT protocols (MQTT, OPC UA) or Industrial IoT
We’re building UMH Core - an open-source Industrial IoT platform used by factories worldwide. Professional Growth – Ongoing learning opportunities, room to grow in a scaling company, and direct impact on UMH’s success.
Have it live in production in 3-6 hours.

Bridging the computer and factory worlds, we empower engineers with best in class IT and OT tools. Factories worldwide produce millions of data points per second, but managing this data, especially in manufacturing, is complex due to challenges like navigating demilitarized zones, poor internet connections, controlling real-world operations, and requiring non-IT expert handling. A couple weeks ago, we decided to further fuel that growing and decided to take in the German investor Freigeist / Frank Thelen.
