Job description

Overview

Moonshot Labs builds the internal software that accelerates Moonshot's manufacturing business. As a Software Developer, you'll design and build custom tools, applications, and AI agents that have immediate, practical application in a live production environment. The work is fast-moving and high-impact: find where the business is slowed down, build something that removes the friction, and get it into people's hands in days, not quarters. This spans operational software, data and ERP integration, automation, and practical AI agents that take real work off people's plates. It's a rare chance to build greenfield software whose value shows up directly in how fast and how well the company runs.

Key Responsibilities

1. Build software with immediate impact: Design and develop custom applications and tools that solve real operational problems and accelerate the business. Success is measured by adoption and outcomes on the floor, not lines of code.
2. Build practical AI agents: Design, build, and deploy AI agents and automations that handle real workflows, document and data processing, and decision support, putting time back in people's hands and extending what a small team can do.
3. Turn data into action: Leverage direct SQL and ERP data, along with other systems, to create real-time operational visibility and power the tools you build. ERP extension and reporting are part of the job, but the goal is the decision the data enables, not the report itself.
4. Cross-functional collaboration: Work directly with leaders across Operations, Engineering, Procurement, and HR to understand pain points and translate business needs into working software.
5. Rapid iteration and code quality: Write clean, maintainable, well-documented code that supports fast iteration and continuous improvement based on direct user feedback.
6. APIs and integrations: Implement APIs and integrations that connect internal software with factory-floor hardware, third-party platforms, AI services, and business intelligence tools.
7. Technical contribution: Participate in code reviews, technical planning, and system architecture discussions to ensure solutions are scalable, secure, and aligned with Moonshot Labs' roadmap.

Qualifications

Education:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Systems, or equivalent experience

Experience:

• 2-5 years of professional software development experience
• Experience building web applications and working with relational databases (SQL)
• Experience building or integrating AI/LLM-powered tools, agents, or automations
• Experience with ERP systems, manufacturing operations, or business intelligence tools is a plus

Skills and Tools:

• Strong proficiency in modern programming languages (Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, C#, or similar)
• Experience with web frameworks (React, Vue, Angular, Django, Flask, ASP.NET, or similar)
• Familiarity with REST APIs, data integration patterns, and system architecture
• Experience with version control (Git) and collaborative development workflows
• Hands-on with modern AI tooling: AI-assisted coding, plus building agents and automations with LLM APIs and agent frameworks
• Ability to translate business requirements into working solutions, and a bias toward shipping and iterating over over-engineering

Why Moonshot?

• Our Mission: Moonshot Labs turns processes into automation, data into action, and ideas into tools that are running in production fast. We build the software, AI agents, and factory systems that power operational excellence as Moonshot scales.
• Growth at Scale: Moonshot Labs ensures we scale systems, visibility, and repeatability alongside physical growth. We are an enablement organization; we partner with functional leaders across the company to build tools and frameworks that empower their teams to succeed.
• Real Impact: Joining Moonshot Labs means working on software and AI that have immediate, measurable impact on how a high-growth manufacturing company operates. You'll build custom solutions tailored to real problems, iterate based on direct user feedback, and help create Moonshot-specific IP that becomes a competitive advantage.
