About the job Software Engineer
About the RoleYou will build the core software platform that powers our factories-the execution systems that coordinate automation, the interfaces operators use on the shop floor, and the portals customers use to place and track orders. You'll work full-stack, from backend services and workflow orchestration to frontend UIs and hardware integrations. You operate with extreme ownership-writing the code, deploying the infrastructure, and debugging the result on the factory floor. You will lean heavily on AI-assisted development to ship full-stack features faster than traditional teams.
Base Qualifications- Proficiency in multiple programming languages with a proven track record of building and maintaining distributed systems. You know how to build scalable backends (Go or Python) and intuitive frontends (TypeScript or JavaScript).
- Deeply curious about AI-assisted development. You're actively exploring how tools like agentic coding assistants, automated review, and orchestration platforms can help you ship more, faster-without sacrificing quality.
- Solid grasp of SQL and data modeling, plus experience with modern storage mechanisms like object stores (S3, GCS) and durable event queues (Kafka).
- Familiarity with workflow orchestration engines (e.g., Temporal, Airflow) and modeling complex processes as state machines.
- Ability to self-direct and thrive in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment.
Preferred Qualifications- Experience writing software that talks to embedded systems, sensors, or industrial equipment. You are comfortable crossing the boundary between a cloud API and a physical machine.
- Experience maintaining and scaling high-performance CI/CD pipelines in a monorepo environment with Bazel or Buck2.
- Background in building software that supports physical production, logistics, or 3D geometry processing.
Why Join- You are one of the first employees in the software org. You define the tech stack and the culture.
- The role evolves as we do. Lots of room to grow into leadership, go deep technically, or help spin up new teams as we scale.
- You'll use the latest tools and work with a team that wants to continuously improve.
- We take risks and spend where it counts. The best idea wins.
Compensation & Benefits- Competitive salary + significant early-stage equity.
- Unlimited PTO: We trust you to manage your time and take the breaks you need to stay productive and healthy.
- Paid parental leave: Support for new parents during this important life transition.
- We cover 100% of employees premiums and 80% of your family's premiums through industry-leading medical, dental, and vision coverage to keep you and your family healthy.
This role is based on-site in Cincinnati, OH and is not open to remote work.
