Senior Software Engineer, Recognition & DataCore Team

Senior Software Engineer

Location: Rome, Italy
Hybrid: 2-3 days a week in office

Context & Impact 

We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Recognition & DataCore Team in Rome, Italy.

This role sits within a high-performing engineering group tackling some of the most complex challenges in cloud-scale data infrastructure — designing and maintaining the cloud-native data pipeline engine that powers the Lansweeper platform. You won't just be maintaining systems; you'll be shaping how AI and intelligent automation transform the way we process, enrich, and reconcile massive datasets at scale.

Your work will directly impact how Lansweeper ingests, processes, and delivers actionable technology asset intelligence across customer environments worldwide. Engineers here operate at the intersection of distributed systems and AI-augmented engineering — where the quality of your judgment matters as much as the quality of your code.

In the short term, you'll drive the evolution of our distributed data pipeline. Long term, you'll contribute to architecture decisions, next-generation data processing capabilities, and the scalability of a platform trusted by thousands of enterprises globally.

Challenge 

The main challenges you'll face are:  

• Enhancing and maintaining a high performance data pipeline for Lansweeper Discovery and the broader Lansweeper Platform  

• Solving complex ETL, enrichment, and data reconciliation problems at scale with AI tooling as a force multiplier, not a shortcut

• Operating effectively within a large-scale distributed architecture where performance, reliability, and engineering excellence are non-negotiable

• Setting the standard for how AI-generated output is evaluated, refined, and brought to production quality

Key Responsibilities 

• Design, develop, and maintain scalable, cloud native data processing services in Java and Go

• Lead in an AI-augmented engineering environment: decompose complex problems, direct and prompt AI tools effectively, critically evaluate AI-generated code, and hold the bar on production-grade quality

• Own technical decisions, ensuring that AI‑generated code aligns with architectural direction and long‑term system health 

• Contribute to architecture design, system evolution, and cross‑team technical strategies 

• Implement and optimize ETL workflows and data enrichment pipelines  

• Build RESTful APIs, GraphQL endpoints, and backend integrations  

• Collaborate closely with engineers and product teams to ship stable, well-tested, maintainable code

• Ensure test automation, code quality, and CI/CD best practices across the data platforms 

Hard Skills

• 6+ years of software engineering experience, ideally as a Senior Software Engineer in cloudbased or datadriven systems  

• Practical experience using AI tools for coding, refactoring, testing, and documentation  

• Hands-on experience with any of the following: Java and Go (Preferred) and/or Python, Spark, Spring, TypeScript  

• Strong knowledge of cloud environments (AWS, Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform)  

• Familiar with CI/CD pipelines (CircleCI, ArgoCD), Git, Kafka, Hadoop, and Cassandra  

• Proficient in SQL and NoSQL databases (PostgreSQL, ClickHouse)  

• Experience with testing frameworks (Mockito, Testcontainers, Localstack) and observability tools (Grafana, OpenSearch) 

Soft Skills

• Excellent teamwork and communication skills  

• Strong problem-solving ability in complex, distributed systems  

• Ownership mindset and comfort operating in an agile and collaborative environment
