Hendler Family Brewing Company (the team behind Jack's Abby, Wormtown, and Night Shift) is looking for a motivated Co-Op to join our Data team. This is a hands-on opportunity to do real software engineering work inside a working brewery: you'll ship bug fixes and new features to internal applications used daily by our production, taproom, marketing, sales, and operations teams, write SQL in our ERP to answer real business questions, and help keep the company's hardware and systems running.

You'll work in a modern, AI-assisted development environment within the context of a large-scale industrial brewery. We use AI coding tools (including Claude Code) as a core part of our workflow, and you'll learn to build, debug, and analyze with them from day one. This role is ideal for a student who wants to see how software, data, and IT come together to run a real manufacturing business and who wants their code shipping within the first few weeks.

• Develop and maintain internal web applications fullstack (React, TypeScript, SQL/PostgreSQL): fix bugs, build new features, and improve existing modules used across production, taproom, marketing, and legal compliance workflows
• Write and maintain SQL queries and reports within our SAP Business One ERP to support data analysis and business reporting
• Perform data analysis to support decisions in production, inventory management, and sales
• Support IT operations: set up and configure computers for new hires, image and redeploy machines, and troubleshoot hardware and software issues
• Assist with the company help desk including triaging bug reports, feature requests, and data requests from users across the company
• Use AI-assisted development tools (Claude Code and similar) to accelerate development, debugging, and analysis
• Document your work: code changes, queries, hardware deployments, and support resolutions

• Currently enrolled in a Bachelor's program in Computer Science or a related field
• Working knowledge of JavaScript and SQL required
• Basic knowledge of ERP, MRP, and CRMs vocabulary preferred
• Familiarity with AI tools and AI-assisted development; experience with Claude Code preferred
• Knowledge of computer hardware, setup, and troubleshooting
• Fundamental understanding of manufacturing or production systems
• Ability to communicate technical concepts clearly to non-technical users
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail
• Ability to work independently on hybrid/remote days and manage recurring deadlines
• Experience with Google Workspace
• Knowledge of the craft beer industry, brewing methods, and manufacturing practices is a plus

What You'll Learn

• Full-stack development on a production application (React, TypeScript, PostgreSQL)

• AI-assisted software development workflows
• IT asset management and deployment in a multi-site company
• How software and data support a real manufacturing and hospitality business
