Full-Stack Software Engineer

About Us

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
