Senior Software Engineer (AI + Manufacturing)
Los Angeles, CA (on-site with very cool machines)
Let’s skip the buzzwords for a second.
This is not your average “build another SaaS dashboard” role.
This is:
Writing code that talks to real machines
Processing insane amounts of data (think millions of sensor events per second)
Helping build a factory that manufactures physical parts… almost as fast as someone can think of them
Yes, really.
What You’ll Be Building
We’re a well-funded, quietly ambitious team working on next-gen manufacturing systems powered by AI.
Our platform sits at the intersection of:
- Software
- Hardware
- Physics (the fun kind, not the exam kind)
Your work will power a fully automated, industrial-scale production system — the kind that makes traditional manufacturing look… slow.
️ What You’ll Do
- Architect and scale backend systems that ingest massive real-time sensor data
- Build data pipelines that feed cutting-edge ML models (GPU-heavy, data-hungry, very cool)
- Design infrastructure for both real-time and historical analytics
- Develop services that unify machines, data, and decision-making across the factory floor
- Write production-grade code that directly impacts physical output (no pressure )
- Partner with ML + hardware teams to turn raw data into intelligent systems
What You Bring
- 5+ years building serious backend systems (not just CRUD apps)
- Strong experience with languages like Go, Rust, C++, or Java
- Proven ability to design and scale data-intensive systems
- Experience with data pipelines, streaming, or distributed systems
- Comfort working close to hardware (or curiosity to learn fast)
Bonus Points If You’ve Touched:
- Kafka, Spark, Iceberg, Parquet, Arrow
- Time-series databases or large-scale data warehousing
- Kubernetes + containerized systems
- High-throughput, real-time data environments
- Anything involving 3D data, simulation, or graphics
Why This Role
- Work on something actually novel (not just incremental)
- Backed by serious funding, but still early enough to make a dent
- Tight-knit, highly technical team that moves fast and builds real things
- Competitive comp + meaningful equity
- Full benefits (medical, dental, vision covered)
- Daily meals, flexible hours, and a “builders first” culture
Who Thrives Here
You’re probably the type who:
- Gets bored optimizing dashboards and wants to build systems that do things
- Enjoys solving ambiguous, first-principles problems
- Thinks “that sounds hard” = “I’m in”
If you’ve been waiting for a role where software meets the real world in a big way… this is it.
