Syscend (the platform behind Guardian Bikes) is building a vertically integrated, AI-driven manufacturing and commerce company. We design, manufacture, fulfill, and sell directly from our U.S. factory floor to the customer’s door.

Acumatica serves as our canonical ledger for inventory and accounting. Internally built MRP, MES, and WMS systems drive operational execution. Our data platform models analytical truth. Over time, AI systems will reason across these layers and execute workflows that humans previously owned.

This role sits at the center of that architecture working within our ERP.
