YOUR MISSION
As a Staff Software Engineer on the Digital Engineering team, you will be the senior technical hand building the in-house software behind our digital thread — full-stack applications that become our systems of record for product, manufacturing, and operations data, and the services and integrations that connect them across the product lifecycle. You will set technical direction alongside the principal engineer, architect for scale, reliability, and security, and raise the engineering bar for a growing team while staying deep in the code.
The work goes well beyond connecting tools. Integrations bridge the off-the-shelf systems we run today; the larger job is building the software that takes their place. You will regularly face the question “How do we build software our engineers, buyers, and technicians would rather use — while keeping product data authoritative and traceable?” The data models, applications, and patterns you establish will define how product data is created, changed, and used across the company for years.
This is an ideal role for a senior full-stack engineer who wants deep ownership of foundational products and the platform beneath them, enjoys mentoring, and is energized by building something new in a fast-paced, high-stakes environment. You'll work in an AI-native environment where using AI to accelerate your impact is expected.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Architecture & Design
• Design the domain data models and workflows for in-house systems of record — parts, revisions, BOMs, change orders, and as-built records — with lifecycle states and end-to-end traceability.
• Architect the services, APIs, integrations, and event-driven data flows that connect our applications with the off-the-shelf tools
