Software Developer – Industrial & OT Monitoring (all genders)
1. Krakow | Remote
We are expanding PRTG into the Operational Technology (OT) world. This role focuses on building native monitoring sensors and diagnostics for industrial environments such as PLCs, controllers, and industrial network devices.
You will work on protocol communication, device diagnostics, and performance-critical components that allow PRTG to monitor industrial systems used in manufacturing, utilities, energy, and infrastructure.
You'll be joining a small, focused team with clear roadmap, transparent ways of working, and short decision-making paths. No endless alignment rounds, just direct communication, real ownership.
YOUR TASKS
2. Design and implement OT monitoring sensors using C++ and/or Rust
3. Develop communication layers for key industrial protocols: Siemens S7 communication, EtherNet/IP and CIP (Rockwell)
4. SNMP for industrial devices
5. Build efficient and reliable data acquisition components for PLC diagnostics and hardware monitoring
6. Work closely with Product Management to translate industrial monitoring use cases into technical solutions
7. Take full ownership of feature development – from concept through implementation to testing
8. Contribute to the architecture of OT monitoring components within the PRTG ecosystem
9. Evaluate new approaches and technologies to continuously improve development productivity and code quality
YOUR PROFILE
Must-have:
10. Several years of professional experience in C++ – you're comfortable with low-level systems programming, binary protocols, and performance-critical code
11. Experience with network protocols and TCP/IP communication, including low-level data parsing and device communication
12. A track record of building robust, high-performance backend components
13. You treat Unit Testing, Code Reviews, and Continuous Integration as non-negotiable – not as overhead
Nice-to-have:
