Full Job Description
We are hiring a Software Engineer in Detroit to build the platform that runs our factories. Our stack is TypeScript end to end: NestJS, Next.js, React, and Supabase. You will write the software that quotes orders, nests parts, drives machines, manages inventory, and gives customers a live window into their work. You will ship to production constantly and watch your code move metal on the floor the same day.

You will:
  • Own features end to end across the stack, from database schema to the screen
  • Build and extend our core systems: the factory command platform, the nesting and quoting engine, the customer portal, and inventory and demand intelligence
  • Wire software directly into saws, automation, and shop floor hardware
  • Turn messy real world operations into clean systems that run themselves
  • Use AI tooling aggressively to ship more in a day than most engineers ship in a week
  • Spend real time on the factory floor so you understand the problems you are solving
  • Take big, ambiguous problems and bring them all the way to done without being told how

You should be:
  • High agency and able to own large items alone, while asking for help when you need it
  • Fast. You feel urgency and you move with it
  • Organized enough to keep a lot of moving pieces straight at once
  • Raw smart, with the horsepower to pick up new domains quickly
  • Cracked with AI tools and always finding new ways to push them further
  • Low ego and obsessed with the customer
  • The kind of person who takes work off other people's plates and never says "that's not my job"
  • Always bringing new ideas, often from outside the world of metals and manufacturing
  • Mission driven, the kind of person who could see themselves building this for the next 30 years
  • Wanting to be working outside normal hours to pursue our mission

This role is full time, in person in Detroit.
