Senior/Staff Platform Engineer

📋 Job Overview

At Luminovo, we’re building the infrastructure that turns the electronics supply chain into something software can read and act on. Our customers use it to quote PCBAs faster, find cost savings and act on risks in their supply chain. We serve 300+ customers, from Europe’s largest EMS to category-leading OEMs, with around 100 Luminerds across Munich, Berlin, New York and Austin. We’re backed by Chalfen Ventures, Cherry Ventures and General Catalyst. With data centers and robotics driving demand for electronics, someone needs to manage that supply chain, and they’ll need good software to do it.
