Senior Software Engineer

We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer who thrives in a highly autonomous, client-facing environment and enjoys building solutions that directly impact business operations.

This isn’t a siloed engineering role-you’ll work directly with clients, translate challenges into technical solutions, and help guide projects from concept through deployment.

What You’ll Do

• Design, build, and deploy custom software solutions for industrial and manufacturing clients
• Integrate systems (ERP, MES, legacy tools, third-party platforms) to improve data flow and visibility
• Work directly with clients to understand workflows, pain points, and operational goals
• Translate business needs into scalable, maintainable technical solutions
• Lead or contribute to system architecture and technical direction
• Build and maintain APIs and integrations across systems
• Support implementation, deployment, and post-launch optimization
• Contribute across the full lifecycle: discovery * design * development * deployment * support

Do you have experience in Web applications?, * 5+ years of software engineering experience

• Proven ability to own and deliver projects end-to-end
• Strong problem-solving skills with a practical, business-first mindset
• Comfortable working directly with clients and cross-functional teams
• Experience building production-grade applications and systems
• Experience integrating systems and working with APIs
• Design, develop, and maintain high-quality software solutions using languages such as Ruby on Rails, JavaScript, Python, C++, C#, Java, and .NET frameworks.
• Lead the development of RESTful APIs and RESTful services to enable seamless integration across platforms.
• Architect and optimize IT infrastructure leveraging cloud services like AWS and Azure to ensure scalability and reliability.
• Collaborate within Agile teams to deliver iterative improvements on web applications and backend systems.
• Manage version control using tools such as GitHub, SVN, and Git, ensuring code quality through code reviews and continuous integration practices.
• Develop database solutions utilizing MySQL, SQL Server, and other relational databases; implement efficient data models and queries.
• Contribute to front-end development with React Express, JavaScript frameworks, and UI/UX best practices for engaging user experiences.
• Ensure system security through RBAC (Role-Based Access Control), secure API design, and adherence to best practices in application security.
• Maintain Linux-based environments for deployment and testing; automate workflows with scripting languages like VBA where applicable.
• Stay current with emerging technologies such as quantum engineering principles that could influence future product innovations.

Technical Experience

We’re vendor-agnostic, but strong candidates will have experience across several of the following:

Languages

• TypeScript, Go, Rust, PHP, HTML & CSS (or similar backend languages)

UI Frameworks

• React.js and/or Vue.js
• Strong understanding of modern UI development

Databases

• PostgreSQL
• Redis / Valkey
• Experience with distributed databases (e.g., GCP Spanner) is a plus

Design Patterns

• API design (REST, OpenAPI)
• Stateless server design
• Scalable architectures (horizontal scaling, etc.)

Infrastructure & Tooling

• Cloud platforms (AWS and/or GCP)
• Containers and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes, Podman)
• Infrastructure as Code (Terraform / OpenTofu or similar)
