Job description

About the Role

Join our engineering team as a Software Engineer and help build the platform that powers modern manufacturing. You’ll work across the full stack, collaborating with engineers, designers, and product managers to ship end-to-end features that customers feel. Our teams are data-driven and outcome-focused, organized around clear user goals so they can own the success of the customers they serve. It’s a great role for an engineer who wants to grow quickly, work with a modern stack, and build practical fluency with AI-assisted development from day one.

Who You Are

• Detail-Oriented Builder: You care about the quality of your work because you know how it impacts our customers. You sweat the details and take pride in shipping features you can stand behind.
• Eager to Grow: You understand what it takes to build robust, scalable, and secure software, and you're driven to keep getting better. You welcome feedback and learn quickly from the engineers around you.
• Collaborative Teammate: You've worked in an agile environment and know how to collaborate with your team in an iterative fashion to achieve shared goals.
• Curious About AI: You're excited to make AI tooling part of how you work, using it to move faster while still understanding and standing behind what you ship.

Why You’ll Love Working Here

• Customer-Centric Focus: We put our customers at the center of everything we do. Your work will directly contribute to their success.
• Modern Technology: We work across a modern stack — Python (Django and FastAPI), TypeScript and React, PostgreSQL, and AWS — and we're actively investing in how AI can accelerate our software development lifecycle.
• Complex and Meaningful Challenges: Our software is used in critical industries like aerospace and defense, requiring robust, secure, and scalable solutions. You’ll be solving problems that truly matter.
• Collaborative and Inclusive Culture: We believe that diverse teams build better products. Our culture emphasizes collaboration, continuous learning, and mutual respect.
• Growth Opportunities: You’ll learn from experienced engineers, take on increasing ownership, and build skills that compound over your career.

What You’ll Do

• Build End-to-End Features: Build and maintain flexible, scalable, and secure features across the backend and frontend.
• Develop APIs: Build well-documented APIs that securely and efficiently serve data for internal and external use.
• Work With AI Tools: Use AI coding assistants (such as Cursor and Claude Code) as part of your daily workflow to accelerate delivery, and experiment with new approaches — always reviewing, testing, and understanding what you ship.
• Improve Quality Continuously: Make ongoing improvements to the quality of our core product, from tests and tooling to shared libraries and engineering practices.
• Collaborate Across Roles: Work closely with engineers, designers, and product managers to build a product that makes our customers’ lives better.
• Write Code Others Can Build On: Produce clear, well-typed, well-documented code that’s easy for teammates — and AI agents — to reason about.

What You’ll Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 2+ years of experience writing code in an object-oriented language.
• Experience with a modern web application stack, e.g. Python/Django, Node/Express, or Java/Spring.
• Experience with frontend development using TypeScript and React (or a similar modern framework).
• Experience with API design, development, and documentation.
• Familiarity with a cloud provider such as AWS, Azure, or GCP.
• Solid understanding of SQL and relational databases.
• Experience building applications with Docker and CI/CD tooling such as Jenkins.
• Curiosity about applying AI tools to everyday engineering work, with good judgment about when to trust their output.
• Excellent communication skills, both verbally and in writing.

Why Join Us?

• Impactful Work: Your contributions will power industries critical to our society and economy, making a real difference in the world.
• Continuous Learning: We invest in our people and offer opportunities to learn, grow, and advance their careers.
• Supportive Culture: Our team is our greatest asset, and we foster an environment where everyone can thrive.

Salary range: $106,000-$168,000
