Senior Full Stack Software Engineer (f/m/d)

Permanent employee, Full-time · Hamburg, Berlin, Munich

Our Mission

At Circus (Xetra: CA1), headquartered in Hamburg with offices in Berlin and Munich, we are pioneering global developments in on-demand autonomous food production. Everything from creation to production and operation is enabled by seamlessly integrated cutting-edge robotics and transformative AI technology.

Our foundation rests on groundbreaking advancements in robotics and artificial intelligence, previously the missing link in achieving true autonomous food automation. This is the moment for a new status quo: Just as autonomous driving is transforming mobility, we are reshaping the future of food.

Our team supports this paradigm shift with the sharpest minds in Robotics, AI, Engineering, and Culinary, collaborating closely with industry-leading partners to revolutionize every aspect of the food service experience.

Join us in redefining how the world thinks about food—powered by software, delivered by robotics.
