🚀 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.
