Production scheduling is a complex problem: priorities change, machines go down, new orders come in and planners constantly need to adapt. Many factories still rely heavily on manual planning to manage this complexity.\nWe approach this differently. Our technology combines reinforcement learning with Digital Twin environments to train AI agents in simulation, allowing manufacturers to create and optimize production schedules without relying on large historical datasets.\nWe're already working with manufacturers across Europe, the US and Japan and partner with ERP and MES providers to bring our technology into real production environments. We're a small, international team based in Berlin with a flexible remote setup, and there's still a lot to build as we continue developing the product and bringing it to more manufacturers.\nTasks\nAs a Software Engineer at Phantasma, you'll work on the software that brings our AI-powered production scheduling technology into real factory environments. You'll build and maintain our backend systems, connect AiPS to customer environments and contribute across APIs, infrastructure and frontend where needed.\nYou'll be part of our backend team and work closely with our ML team and customers. It's a hands-on role with real ownership, from turning customer requirements into production-ready features to shipping reliably and keeping systems stable across staging and production.\nDevelop production-ready backend code in Rust\nDevelop unit tests and integration tests to keep quality high as we ship fast\nDebug and resolve issues in staging and production\nInterface with customer systems (ERP/MES and surrounding tools)\nConvert and map structured and semi-structured customer data into our internal formats\nJoin customer calls, gather requirements, and translate them into robust implementations\nContribute to API design and overall system architecture\nBuild and maintain frontend features in React / TypeScript\nDeploy and operate services on Kubernetes cloud infrastructure\nSupport MLOps workflows in partnership with the ML team\nRequirements\nMust haves\nStrong willingness to learn and take ownership\nFlexibility to grow with the role as responsibilities evolve\nA collaborative spirit and comfort working in a flat hierarchy\nGood communication skills in English, both written and spoken\nSolid ability to manage time, tasks, and project priorities independently\nNice to haves\n1+ year of Rust experience (professional, academic, or hobby projects)\nExperience building frontends, ideally using React\nDevOps experience (e.g. Kubernetes, Ansible)\nExperience with joining calls and interacting with customers\nExperience in manufacturing environments or industrial software\nBenefits\nOwnership from day 1: Work in a small team with fast feedback and see the impact of what you build\nCollaborate with a strong team: Work alongside experienced software engineers building production-grade systems and ML specialists developing our AI optimization technology\nA supportive, open culture: Clear communication, strong collaboration and flat hierarchies\nFlexible working hours & hybrid setup: Work remotely or from our co-working space in Berlin Mitte, whatever helps you do your best work\nCompany laptop: We'll provide the equipment you need to do your work\nSounds Like a Fit?\nIf this sounds like your type of challenge, we'd love to hear from you! Don't worry if you don't tick every single box. If you're excited about the role, willing to learn and ready to take ownership, apply anyway!","description_format":"text","description_chars":3615,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":1,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"All levels","optional":false}]},"benefits":["Flexible schedule"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Germany","iso":"DE","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Artificial Intelligence","Machine Learning","Reinforcement Learning"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-26T16:26:30Z"},{"event":"close","at":"2026-10-03T01:08:29Z"}],"liveness":null,"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/phantasma-labs-software-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/phantasma-labs-software-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-03T03:30:34Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":3334,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":1666,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-04T00:00:00Z"}}}
