About Us VIKASO LTD is a UK-based robotics company redefining how industrial robots are deployed, controlled, and scaled. We are building next-generation hardware and software platforms that abstract complexity, standardise integration, and enable rapid adoption of robotics across manufacturing and logistics environments.
Our approach centres on robot-agnostic technologies that transform robotics from fragmented systems into a scalable, productised platform. While enabling automation at scale, our focus remains on advancing robotics – making robots easier to deploy, more intelligent to operate, and more reliable in production.
At the intersection of software, control systems, and mechatronics, we are building a globally scalable robotics platform that will define the future of industrial automation.
As Tech Lead, you will set technical direction and own end-to-end delivery across our robotics platform. You’ll translate real-world lessons from industrial deployments into clear architectural decisions, ensuring our services, data models, and integrations are coherent, scalable, and observable.
Partnering with product and cross-functional leads, you will break work into milestones, proactively manage risks, and unblock engineers across FE/BE/DevOps tracks.
Hands-on where it matters, you’ll guide backend and data design (APIs, workers, time-series/relational models), provide frontend guidance for quality and consistency, and uphold DevOps, reliability, and security baselines (CI/CD, SLOs, secrets, telemetry).
You’ll mentor engineers, raise the bar on reviews and documentation, and make decisions that balance speed with long-term maintainability. Define and document the reference architecture for the platforms (APIs, services, data, observability, security). Translate product requirements into technical plans, milestones, and risks. Drive execution across FE/BE/DevOps/QA tracks; Maintain a prioritized technical debt backlog and evolve coding standards.
Backend & Data (Hands-on) Guide and contribute to backend services, asynchronous workers, data ingestion pipelines. Frontend (Guidance + Pairing) Ensure robust patterns for React/Vue apps (state management, WebSockets, charts, performance). DevOps & Reliability Define CI/CD quality gates, release strategies, environment parity, and infra-as-code approach. Set baseline security practices (secrets management, dependency hygiene, least privilege). Improve review quality and throughput; 7+ years in software engineering; 2+ years in a Tech Lead/Staff role.~ Proven experience architecting and shipping cloud services (APIs, data, observability).~ Strong backend skills ( C++ and Python ; PostgreSQL).~ Working knowledge of frontend engineering (React or Vue) sufficient to mentor and set standards.~ DevOps literacy: CI/CD design, containerization, networking, monitoring.~ Built or led data ingestion/logging/analytics platforms. Hardware/device or C++ integration awareness….
