About the role

About the Company

We are a venture-backed manufacturing startup building the most advanced automated production facilities in the United States. We are on a mission to make American manufacturing economically viable — through intelligent machinery, automation, and a relentless focus on execution. We are early, we are moving fast, and we are looking for exceptional people who want to build something that matters.

Role Summary

We’re hiring a Full-Stack Software Engineer - someone who will design and build the software systems that run our machines and the business around them. This role owns the full stack: real-time machine data, backend services, and the operator interfaces used to monitor and control production. It is a hands-on, ownership-heavy role for someone who has experience shipping products in fast-paced startup environments.

Responsibilities

Design and build full-stack web applications for internal tooling, machine monitoring, operations management, and public store fronts

Architect and implement a custom ERP system from scratch - production scheduling, inventory tracking, equipment status, and order management with a high degree of automation and minimal manual data entry

Build machine orchestration interfaces with real-time dashboards and control surfaces that integrate with industrial equipment over well-known protocols

Design and maintain web applications and services that solve core problems

Contribute to development of a robust CI/CD pipeline - automated testing, containerized builds, and deployment

Build AI and automation into the systems that power the manufacturing floor

Work directly alongside controls and electrical engineers to define integration contracts between software and machine hardware

Preferred Experience

6+ years of full-stack software engineering experience, including meaningful time at startups with broad ownership of the application stack

Experience building and supporting live applications and services

Broad knowledge of software architecture and able to consider the tradeoffs between centralized vs distributed and monolith vs microservice

Deep experience with building multi-tiered applications and services in Golang

HTML, CSS, and JavaScript proficiency for building functional, data-dense internal tooling interfaces

RDBMS and PostgreSQL fluency in schema design and writing and reading raw SQL

Experience working in a CI/CD environment with test, build, and release pipelines

Care deeply about engineering excellence with Git hygiene, documentation, and constructive code review

Comfortable using AI to increase velocity and reduce defects but to implement everything or make every decision

Effective communicator and collaborator in a distributed team environment

Flexible with schedule and hours; thrives in a startup environment where priorities shift and urgency is real

Nice to Have

Familiarity with OPC-UA or other industrial automation and communication protocols

Knowledge of event streaming technologies like NATS or MQTT

Experience with document or time-series databases

Container orchestration with Kubernetes, ECS, Fargate or Cloud Run

Prior work experience in a manufacturing domain

Experience at an early-stage hard tech or deep tech startup

Any prior team lead or mentorship experience

Additional

Willingness to travel as needed for vendor visits, factory acceptance testing, and on-site equipment commissioning

Comfort with a startup pace - this role demands flexibility, self-direction, and a bias toward getting things done over waiting for perfect conditions

Equal Opportunity Statement

We are committed to diversity and inclusivity in our hiring practices.
