Job description

CLX Engineering is seeking a Software Engineer III focused on building and supporting industrial software applications that drive airport, logistics, and material handling operations. This is a software engineering role with occasional field responsibilities to support deployment, commissioning, troubleshooting, and customer needs. The ideal candidate is an experienced developer who can independently design and deliver reliable, scalable industrial applications, guide technical decisions, and solve complex integration challenges across automation systems, databases, and operational platforms.

This role will work closely with the Software Engineering Manager and software development team to provide senior-level technical ownership for CMMS-focused initiatives, industrial applications, integrations, and backend system functionality supporting automated operations. The Software Engineer III will help establish sound technical approaches, strengthen development practices, and support the growth of other engineers while remaining actively involved in hands-on development. As part of a small, collaborative company, this person must be comfortable wearing multiple hats, stepping into adjacent needs, and contributing wherever their expertise creates value. Meaningful contributions and added responsibility are recognized and rewarded.

CLX cannot support work authorization visas.
