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.
Responsibilities
- Build and maintain flexible, scalable, and secure features across the backend and frontend.
- Build well-documented APIs that securely and efficiently serve data for internal and external use.
- 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.
- Make ongoing improvements to the quality of our core product, from tests and tooling to shared libraries and engineering practices.
- Work closely with engineers, designers, and product managers to build a product that makes our customers’ lives better.
- Produce clear, well-typed, well-documented code that’s easy for teammates — and AI agents — to reason about.
- Responsible for adherence to all security and privacy requirements, rules and regulations and implement as required.
Requirements
- This position requires activities that are subject to US Export Control Laws and require US Citizenship or Green Card Holder.
