Job

Company

Role

Who you are

5-10 years building and delivering production-grade data or application solutions, ideally in B2B or industrial/manufacturing contexts
Proficient in Python and SQL; comfortable with other languages
Hands-on with data pipelines and AI patterns: ETL/ELT, vector stores and evaluation/guardrails
Cloud-native delivery: containers (Docker), CI/CD, and deployments to AWS/GCP/Azure; infra-as-code mindset and basic networking/security
Strong API integration experience (REST/GraphQL), auth models, and webhooks; familiarity with event-driven designs
Git-centric workflow, code reviews, testing practices, and documentation discipline
Consulting toolkit: can translate ambiguous problems into scoped deliveries and communicate crisply with execs and engineers
Manufacturing native a plus: ERP/MES/PLM/QA/LIMS familiarity and common data shapes
U.S. citizen or green card holder (ITAR)
Willingness to travel 30%

What the job involves

You will be on the bleeding edge of AI, helping transform manufacturers and innovating as you go
Not only will you be helping customers, but you will be the chief pathfinder for our product and technology teams as you discover repeatable solutions for US manufacturers
Own solution architecture and delivery end-to-end: from discovery and scoping to POC, testing, and handover
Code and ship integrations in Python/TypeScript/Rust, build APIs and integrations, and stand up data pipelines
Partner cross-functionally with Sales (technical scoping, demos), Product (field feedback and reusability), and Customer teams (enablement and runbooks)
Write clear technical documents: architecture diagrams, SOW estimates, test plans, and ops runbooks
0→1 focus: move from first customer conversation to production quickly; create reusable accelerators for later 1→N scale
This is not a coordination/program role
Hands-on development: design, prototype, and build data/AI features and integrations; write services and orchestration code
Customer discovery and value engineering: elicit requirements, map data sources, define measurable success criteria
Solution demos and technical workshops: iterate quickly on POCs to prove value
Productionize: harden data flows, instrument logging/metrics, add tests, security controls, and deployment pipelines
Pre-sales technical support: shape SOWs, right-size scope and estimates, and de-risk delivery

Our take

CADDi provides solutions to streamline procurement in the manufacturing industry, delivering an ordering and supply platform, as well as an AI-enabled drawings search system. The search system is particularly interesting because, according to the company, drawings data is the "most important data" in manufacturing.

Through CADDi, manufacturers can procure materials such as sheet metal and machining from an array of partners. By collecting these options in one place, the platform saves users time and effort because they don't have to conduct a search themselves. Similarly, CADDI's drawing search means users can source say, a complex machine part, from just a drawing - without needing to know any further details.

Having already established a strong presence in Japan, CADDi has begun international expansion efforts, beginning with a US division. It is well-funded, and is investing in growing its team and its network of suppliers, as well as further enhancing the technological capabilities its drawings search feature.
