We are scaling our engineering team from 5 to 20 engineers over the next 18 months. You're interested in being one of the foundational members of our engineering team. You're interested in a mission-driven impact (rethinking American manufacturing), while getting your hands dirty talking to users and building a product in an underserved industry. We’re looking for someone with an execution orientation, who can think holistically, and can have a strong impact on the trajectory of the company.
Copia Automation is rebuilding a 50-year old, $170-billion industrial market from the ground up by rethinking the command and control layer and developer tools that power process automation in almost every industrial vertical. Backed by some of the world’s most respected investors, we’re starting by creating a complete developer toolchain for industrial automation that will change how factories are built. See more at copia.io.
Today, manufacturing is powered by an ecosystem of computerized systems and robotics known as industrial automation. The ecosystem is programmed with a unique graphical language that can’t utilize tools such as GitLab or GitHub. Controls engineers are left to work with physical storage devices, incompatible tools, and/or expensive half-baked solutions. In an industry where minutes can represent tens of thousands of dollars, full featured development tools are urgently needed.
You’ll be part of a team that enables engineers to realize their code through a collaborative and well-designed workflow. We’re looking for passionate individuals that will transform how everything is manufactured.
You’ll be building a devops platform that enables controls engineers to remotely manage, test, and deploy code in industrial environments (think GitLab for automation).
- 2+ years professional experience as a software engineer
- Experience in designing and implementing user interfaces (UIs).
- Experience with React, TypeScript, Golang
- Bonus: Experience/Interest in manufacturing and hardware innovation (EE or ME)
- Bonus: Experience/Interest in industrial automation and Programmable Logic Controllers
- Bonus: Experience building developer tools
Over the next few months we are building out the core experience of the product. This will be a combination of Copia specific logic and also features that are common to almost every SaaS application. This looks like...
- CI/CD. Build the continuous integration and deployment layer for the world of operational technology. In this role, you'll gain deep technical proficiency working with CI systems, edge infrastructure, and industrial networking. If you're an infra engineer who wants to understand the edge of the cloud, we are doing it all.
- App Experience. We are rebuilding the core experience of our application. If you're a strong front-end engineer, and interested in a product-centric role, this is perfect for you.
- Vendor abstractions. The industrial automation space is split into numerous fractured vendors. We need to do everything from parsing and rendering bespoke file types to building toolchain specific integrations and determine the abstractions necessary to manage the mess.
As a result, we are looking for strong generalists who can help us scale out major features and components of our core product and grow the team once we scale.
