Role
Who you are
- Detail-Oriented Builder: You care about the quality of your work because you know how it impacts our customers. You sweat the details and take pride in shipping features you can stand behind
- Eager to Grow: You understand what it takes to build robust, scalable, and secure software, and you're driven to keep getting better. You welcome feedback and learn quickly from the engineers around you
- Collaborative Teammate: You've worked in an agile environment and know how to collaborate with your team in an iterative fashion to achieve shared goals
- Curious About AI: You're excited to make AI tooling part of how you work, using it to move faster while still understanding and standing behind what you ship
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
- 2+ years of experience writing code in an object-oriented language
- Experience with a modern web application stack, e.g. Python/Django, Node/Express, or Java/Spring
- Experience with frontend development using TypeScript and React (or a similar modern framework)
- Experience with API design, development, and documentation
- Familiarity with a cloud provider such as AWS, Azure, or GCP
- Solid understanding of SQL and relational databases
- Experience building applications with Docker and CI/CD tooling such as Jenkins
- Curiosity about applying AI tools to everyday engineering work, with good judgment about when to trust their output
- Excellent communication skills, both verbally and in writing
What the job involves
- Join our engineering team as a Software Engineer and help build the platform that powers modern manufacturing
- You’ll work across the full stack, collaborating with engineers, designers, and product managers to ship end-to-end features that customers feel
- Our teams are data-driven and outcome-focused, organized around clear user goals so they can own the success of the customers they serve
- It’s a great role for an engineer who wants to grow quickly, work with a modern stack, and build practical fluency with AI-assisted development from day one
- Customer-Centric Focus: We put our customers at the center of everything we do. Your work will directly contribute to their success
- Modern Technology: We work across a modern stack — Python (Django and FastAPI), TypeScript and React, PostgreSQL, and AWS — and we're actively investing in how AI can accelerate our software development lifecycle
- Complex and Meaningful Challenges: Our software is used in critical industries like aerospace and defense, requiring robust, secure, and scalable solutions. You’ll be solving problems that truly matter
- Collaborative and Inclusive Culture: We believe that diverse teams build better products. Our culture emphasizes collaboration, continuous learning, and mutual respect
- Growth Opportunities: You’ll learn from experienced engineers, take on increasing ownership, and build skills that compound over your career
- Build End-to-End Features: Build and maintain flexible, scalable, and secure features across the backend and frontend
- Develop APIs: Build well-documented APIs that securely and efficiently serve data for internal and external use
- Work With AI Tools: Use AI coding assistants (such as Cursor and Claude Code) as part of your daily workflow to accelerate delivery, and experiment with new approaches — always reviewing, testing, and understanding what you ship
- Improve Quality Continuously: Make ongoing improvements to the quality of our core product, from tests and tooling to shared libraries and engineering practices
- Collaborate Across Roles: Work closely with engineers, designers, and product managers to build a product that makes our customers’ lives better
- Write Code Others Can Build On: Produce clear, well-typed, well-documented code that’s easy for teammates — and AI agents — to reason about
Our take
The creation of bespoke components for manufacturing processes can be time-consuming to manage and difficult to price. Typically, job shops and contract manufacturers have used paper trails to forecast component creation and provide quotes for their clients - meaning the process is ripe for modernization.
Paperless Parts provides an estimating and quoting software platform for manufacturers and job shops, focusing on eradicating paperwork from the process. The platform organizes quote information into a single point of knowledge for all parties, using this data to automate manual steps.
With this approach, the company says it's cutting costs, speeding up how components get deploys, and keeping everything secure and compliant along with way. And it seems to be working, as its now setting its sights on expanding into the Canadian and Mexican market, aiming to take its success even further.
