Job description

Factory6 is a cGMP dietary-supplement and nutraceutical contract manufacturer that builds its own software in-house rather than buying off-the-shelf systems. Our flagship is a live, Quality Management System (QMS) covering incoming-material verification, finished-product release, in-process checks, environmental monitoring, stability, deviations and CAPA, supplier qualification, internal audits, and 21 CFR Part 11 electronic signatures.

Around that core we are building a connected estate of systems on one shared platform: an internal ERP that serves as our operational source of truth, a pre-sales and R&D workspace, a front-of-house visitor and floor system, a mobile AI assistant, and an analytics warehouse. We are seeking a full-stack developer to continue building this platform alongside the team, shipping new modules end-to-end and hardening the regulated core the business relies on every shift. This is a hands-on build role, onsite with the quality, sales, warehouse, and production teams who use the software daily, and a central part of the job is translating “how we actually do this on the floor” into well-designed, compliant features.

Systems You’ll Support & Build

One platform, several focused apps on their own subdomains so each can evolve without destabilizing the others. Some are in production today; others are mid-build or on the roadmap — that is where this role comes in.

Key Responsibilities

Feature Development & Delivery

• Own features end-to-end: database schema and Row-Level Security, server API routes, and the React UI, across the platform, not just one layer.
• Design and write Postgres migrations: apply to staging then production and maintain an explicit migration ledger. Schema mistakes on a regulated system are expensive. The use of AI code writing is strongly encouraged but knowledge of code is fundamental.
• Review, test, and ship through pull requests with CI. (deploy to production frequently and deliberately. Testing in staging deployment environment.

Data Integrity & Compliance

• Treat the audit trail as a feature: every record change attributable, audit-logged, and, where required, electronically signed.
• Protect regulated data: build features that cannot quietly lose or alter records, and design for “what happens if this fails halfway.”
• Translate compliance into software: turn cGMP and 21 CFR Part 11 / Part 111 requirements into concrete controls.

Systems Integration

• Build the seams between systems. QMS to ERP, ERP to QuickBooks, every app to the analytics warehouse, and transactional email, so the estate stays one coherent system instead of disconnected silos.
• Design tenant and role isolation with RLS, for example a customer portal where each brand sees only its own COAs and orders, and nothing internal.
• Work directly with non-technical domain experts (QA managers, lab technicians, line operators) to scope requirements and design the right workflow.
• Partner with the VP Operations on architecture, own integration seams, and progressively take load off.

Required Qualifications

• Strong TypeScript: you reach for the type system to prevent bugs, not fight it.
• React experience, ideally Next.js (App Router) or the ability to ramp fast. We run the newest Next.js, so being comfortable reading docs and source over relying on memory matters here.
• Solid SQL and relational data modeling- normalized schema design, non-trivial queries, and sound reasoning about constraints, indexes, and migrations. PostgreSQL specifically is a strong plus.
• API / backend skills- designing clean, validated, authorized server endpoints.
• A security-and-correctness mindset- least privilege, input validation, failure handling, and not trusting the client.
• Git / GitHub fluency and comfort working through pull requests and code review.
• Clear communication with non-technical people- you can sit with a machine operator, understand the process, and ask the right questions.
• Comfort working onsite full-time and being self-directed in a small team.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Supabase (RLS, Auth, Storage) or another Postgres-backed BaaS.
• Row-Level Security and multi-role authorization design, especially multi-tenant apps where data isolation is non-negotiable.
• Data warehouse / ELT experience- ingestion pipelines, a cloud warehouse (Snowflake or similar), and a BI tool on top.
• Building ERP, MES, or other operations / manufacturing systems, or integrating with accounting systems such as QuickBooks.
• Regulated / compliance-driven domain experience: medical, pharma, food / supplement (cGMP, 21 CFR Part 11 / 111), finance, or similar.
• Deployment / DevOps comfort with Vercel or similar serverless platforms.
• Prior experience in manufacturing, lab, or quality environments.

The Mindset That Fits Here

This is not a move-fast-and-break-things consumer app. It is a system that auditors (FDA, NSF, customers) inspect and that the business relies on to release product safely. The developers who thrive here:

• Treat data integrity and the audit trail as features, not chores.
• Are careful with production- they think before they migrate, and they know “it deployed” and “it’s correct” are different claims.
• Take ownership: when something breaks, they dig to the root cause instead of only patching the symptom.
• Are genuinely curious about the domain- they want to understand why a business process works the way it does, not just close a ticket.

What Success Looks Like

• First 30 days: comfortable in the codebase; shipping small, reviewed features end-to-end (schema - API - UI) with guidance.
• 90 days: owning a module or workflow independently: gathering requirements from the floor, designing the data model, and delivering it to production safely.
• 6-12 months: a trusted second set of hands on the whole platform: proposing architecture improvements, owning integration seams, mentoring, and accelerating the technology roadmap.

Work Environment & Physical Requirements

• Full-time, 100% onsite at the Factory6 manufacturing facility in Lindon, Utah.
• Primarily workstation-based software development within a cGMP production environment.
• Occasional time on the production floor to observe processes and gather requirements; standard GMP gowning and hygiene practices apply in those areas.
• Prolonged periods working at a computer; reasonable accommodations available.
