You will develop an in-depth understanding of our scanner systems to ensure our continuing position as a global leader in the dental scanner industry. Together with your team you will use modern tools and technologies like C# 12 and onwards, .NET 8 and onwards, C++ 20 and onwards, Python, and GitHub Actions.

Innovation is a central part of our values, which creates a culture of thinking differently. Emphasizing empowerment and taking ownership are key aspects of our culture. Together we embrace new ways to exchange ideas and develop unprecedented innovations. All of this helps us to stay engaged with a broad canvas of technologies and applications. We simply think and work in an agile way.

Your Role

Together with your team you will make sure that the networked scanner system stays ahead of the competition. You will develop the central core modules so you will ensure that the full scanner system works flawlessly across our products. We value your ideas, software development skills and your contribution to an effective and evolving development process in a stimulating and diverse work environment. You will be part of a cross-functional team of highly skilled and top of the class colleagues that sets the bar for innovation high.

• Together with the team continuously modernize and improve our code base, ensuring our software solutions stay current and innovative.
• Design reliable, performant and maintainable software applying relevant patterns.
• Develop core modules used within several of our different scanner products including hardware abstraction software and a framework for hardware testing.
• Contribute to a fun and professional work environment within the team. We value humor and a positive spirit.

We expect you to:

• Have a M.Sc. or Ph.D. degree in computer science, mathematics, electronics engineering, physics or equivalent.
• Senior-level developer with advanced skills in C# and asynchronous programming, including practical experience with the .NET ecosystem
• Experienced in designing and implementing scalable, high-performance software systems.
• Solid understanding of concurrency and parallelism, with practical experience applying patterns such as producer-consumer, re-entrancy protection, and non-blocking synchronization.
• Applies SOLID principles and avoids common anti-patterns in software design.
• Comfortable proposing, discussing, and constructively reviewing complex software architectures in a collaborative team setting.
