Job description

INTERNAL OPPORTUNITIES AT ROSS VIDEO Thinking about what’s next for your career? At Ross Video we are committed to your professional growth and to providing opportunities to develop your career. Our internal talent mobility program is intended to facilitate effective hiring from within, as appropriate, to fill open opportunities in the company.

Ross Video’s Manufacturing Systems team is driving the digital transformation of our manufacturing operations. Our goal is to simplify decisions, reduce waste, and unlock new levels of efficiency through data and software.

In this role, you won’t wait for project plans to show up. You’ll work shoulder-to-shoulder with process engineers, operators, production planners, and quality teams to spot inefficiencies and build solutions. You’ll write code that makes our factory smarter—whether that’s pulling real-time data into a dashboard, automating a quality alert, or designing a backend service to streamline planning. You’ll thrive in this role if you’re a developer who likes to get close to the real problems—not just write code in isolation. You’re curious, hands-on, and motivated to build tools that have a direct impact. You look for opportunities, ask the right questions, and enjoy working with others to improve how things get done.

Who you report to: Manager, Manufacturing Systems

Work Arrangement: Work from Office

Career Level: E

What we offer:

Ross offers competitive salaries and comprehensive health plans, as well as several perks to help you perform at your best.

Some of these perks include flexible hours, generous paid time off, fitness/wellness allowance, employee share ownership program, professional development support and a ton of fun social activities and events!

Best of all, you will be part of the Ross Video team, and we’ve got a pretty energizing environment here.

What the job is all about:

• Develop and maintain backend services, dashboards, and web applications for factory operations.
• Collaborate directly with engineers, planners, and operators to identify inefficiencies and build solutions.
• Design intuitive data visualizations and automation tools to support decision-making.
• Support ETL processes and ensure data integrity across manufacturing systems.
• Act as a technical bridge between manufacturing teams and system development.
• Lead continuous improvement efforts and mentor junior developers.

Who you are:

• Solid proficiency in Python, SQL, and modern JavaScript frameworks (React, AngularJS).
• Experience with ETL processes, data engineering, and manufacturing systems.
• Knowledge of API integration, system interoperability, and database management (on-premise and cloud).
• Ability to design user-friendly dashboards, automation scripts, and backend services.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills to work cross-functionally.
• Excellent problem-solving mindset with a focus on real-world impact and continuous improvement.
• 8+ years in software development, data engineering, or manufacturing IT/IS.
• 2+ years developing front-end applications.
• Experience with business intelligence tools and process automation.
• Proven ability to translate business needs into scalable technical solutions.

Bonus points if you have the following:

• Ask questions, observe how different teams work, and learn where software can improve outcomes.
• Work with teammates to explore ideas and build small improvements that solve real problems.
• Explore how your code connects to physical operations—and build a career around solving real-world problems.
• Turn raw manufacturing feeds into clean, intuitive visuals—charts, tables, gauges—so users make smarter decisions faster.
• Gather feedback from operators and managers, iterate quickly on UI/UX, and continually refine performance and usability.
