What you'll do:

  • Ship full-stack features end to end, handling everything from the backend data models to the final user experience.

  • Make AI coding agents a central part of how you work to increase your velocity while maintaining high standards.

  • Drive the technical direction of your projects, including architectural decisions and technical specs.

  • Collaborate with Product and Design to scope out work, balancing quick wins with long-term stability.

  • Write code that is easy to scale and maintain, and help raise the quality of the codebase through thoughtful reviews and testing.

  • Teach the team how to better leverage AI tools by sharing what you have learned and setting best practices.

  • Write clear documentation for both technical and non-technical audiences.

  • Guide and mentor other engineers, helping them improve their skills and ship code with confidence.

  • Talk directly with customers and executives to turn complex industrial challenges into clear engineering tasks.
What you'll need:
  • 5+ years of professional software engineering experience shipping production software on a team using standard best practices (code review, CI/CD, testing).

  • A strong full-stack background, with the ability to build polished frontends and robust backend services.

  • Daily experience with AI coding tools like Cursor, Claude Code, or Copilot, and a good sense of their strengths and weaknesses.

  • Deep knowledge of at least one statically-typed language. We use Go, TypeScript, and C#, but we care more about your engineering depth than the specific language.

  • A history of delivering complex projects on time and the ability to explain the technical choices you made along the way.

  • Great instincts for prioritization and the ability to take an ambiguous problem and find a clear solution.

  • Comfort making architectural decisions and providing technical guidance to other engineers.

  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain technical details to both engineers and non-technical stakeholders.

  • Eagerness to dig into a complex domain. You don't need to know PLCs on day one, but you should be excited to learn how factories actually run.

  • Previous experience adding AI-powered features into a product
Nice to haves:
  • Experience at a growth-stage, venture-backed startup, scaling tools from small betas to thousands or millions of users.

  • Experience with our stack or adjacent technologies: TypeScript / Node.js, React, Go, C#, Python, PostgreSQL, AWS.

  • Experience building developer tools or working on Git internals, CI/CD, or DevOps platforms.

  • Background in industrial automation, OT/IT, manufacturing software, IoT, or developer tooling.

  • Interest in manufacturing and hardware innovation.
