Software Engineer
- Design and develop high-performance C++ backend services and core automation components.
- Build and optimise software for processing sensor and spatial data to support automated decision-making.
- Mentor engineers and contribute to a strong engineering culture.
Metso is innovating the future of bulk material handling through advanced automation. Our Axo33 product platform delivers real-time digital modelling, intelligent decision-making and high-reliability automation for mine-to-port operations, supporting critical infrastructure across stockyards, rail and shipping environments worldwide.
We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer with strong C++ backend development experience to shape core automation and sensor-processing modules within Axo33.
About the role
You will take ownership of complex C++ backend components across the Axo33 platform, with a particular focus on real-time automation logic and sensor data processing – including LiDAR and telemetry inputs. Working closely with Product Owners, System Architects and Automation Engineers, you'll contribute to architecture, design, development, testing and deployment of robust, scalable software for real-world industrial systems. You'll also help grow the team through mentoring and technical leadership.
What you'll do
- Design and develop high-performance C++ backend services and core automation components
- Build and optimise software for processing sensor and spatial data (LiDAR, telemetry, positioning) to support automated decision-making
- Develop and maintain APIs, services and real-time communication components (WebSockets, REST)
- Integrate software with industrial systems, including PLC/SCADA and third-party platforms
- Contribute to system architecture and technical decision-making for high-reliability systems
- Work across the broader stack (Python, Postgres/MySQL, Linux, Git, Jira Agile) to deliver features end-to-end
- Mentor engineers and contribute to a strong engineering culture
- Improve code quality, automated testing and deployment processes
What you'll bring
- Proven experience as a senior engineer delivering production-grade C++ software in complex or operational environments
- Experience designing APIs, services, data models or real-time data pipelines
- Sound engineering judgement, strong problem-solving ability, and clear communication across technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Experience with industrial automation, telemetry, PLC/SCADA or operational technology
- A practical, independent mindset suited to software used in live operational environments
Experience processing sensor or spatial data (e.g., LiDAR) is a strong asset. Exposure to mining, ports or heavy industry, or MATLAB/GNU Octave is a bonus but not essential.
What's in it for you
- Purpose-led work: Contribute to enabling sustainable modern life and transforming the industry
- Performance-based bonus: Participation in the Metso Bonus program, tied to business and individual performance
- Health and wellbeing: Discounted private health insurance, fitness program access, and a confidential Employee Assistance Program for you and your family
- Growth: Ongoing Growth Dialogues, the Metso Training Academy, mentoring, and internal mobility across a global business
- Flexibility: Hybrid working options to support work-life balance
Why Metso?
You'll join a collaborative Axo33 engineering team with the opportunity to shape products, influence technical direction, and deliver systems used across stockyard, rail and shipping operations worldwide – working on software where reliability, performance and safety are critical to real industrial outcomes.
