<div class="content-intro">Apera is an innovative, Vancouver-based company at the forefront of robotics, AI, and machine vision — recognized with the 2025 Frost & Sullivan Technology Innovation Leadership Award and the 2024 BC Tech "Company of the Year, Growth" award. We're on a mission to redefine AI-driven robotic vision. Apera AI helps manufacturers make their factories more flexible and productive. Robots enhanced with Apera's software have 4D Vision — the ability to see and grasp objects with human-like capability. Challenging applications such as bin picking, sorting, packaging, and assembly are now open to fast, precise, and reliable automation. We work with the world's leading automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers. Our portfolio spans Vue (our 4D Vision software), Forge (a no-code simulation and AI training studio where customers build, validate, and de-risk robotic cells before any hardware is bought), and VuePod, our new turnkey, productized bin-picking cell.</div> <h3 id="The-Role" data-local-id="6173d10e0b87" data-renderer-start-pos="1044">The Role</h3> We're looking for a Software Development Engineer, Cloud Platform to build the infrastructure that gets Apera's vision software onto customer devices: securely, repeatably, and without a member of our team on the phone with someone's IT department. Getting software to a device today means threading through customer firewalls, remote-access tools that enterprise security teams increasingly reject, and internal systems only a handful of people know how to drive. You'll replace that with a real platform: a secure, trusted channel to every deployed device, cloud-hosted deployment infrastructure with proper access control, and internal tooling the rest of engineering can use without a guide. This is a high-ownership role on a small team. The road-map is written but not finished, and you'll have significant say in the sequencing, the architecture, and what we choose not to build. Location: This role is based in Vancouver, BC, and works on-site. <h3 id="What-You'll-Do" data-local-id="f3d1422dc5a7" data-renderer-start-pos="2011">What You'll Do</h3> <ul class="ak-ul" data-local-id="2c4ebc20-c728-4c73-a4d9-52784bfb50d6" data-indent-level="1"> <li> Build the connectivity layer to our devices. Every Apera system in the field needs a secure, trusted channel back to us for deployment, telemetry, and support. You'll design that channel so it becomes the single point of contact between Apera and a customer's cell, shrinking our footprint on their network to something a security team can approve in one conversation, ending our reliance on third-party remote-access tools, and handling the reality that some of our best customers run disconnected sites. </li> <li> Make Apera easy for enterprise IT to approve. You'll build an account and permissions structure that works at enterprise scale, so IT managers can administer their own users and share resources across teams, and you'll own the infrastructure work behind the security certifications our
