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

The manufacturing industry is growing increasingly complex, with companies juggling large inventories, multiple suppliers, and intricate supply chains. Founded in 2017, CADDi is using AI to make manufacturing smarter and more efficient, turning scattered design and supply chain data into actionable insights for industries from automotive to robotics.

CADDi's platform identifies duplicate or similar parts, helping manufacturers streamline procurement, consolidate suppliers, and cut costs. Teams can search parts using keywords or design specs, reducing reliance on veteran employees' knowledge. And companies like Subaru and DENSO have reported major time saving and faster sourcing, showing just how transformative CADDi's AI really is.

The company's growth reflects its impact and ambition too. After raising over $200M in venture funding and deepening its partnership with Google Cloud, CADDI is expanding its US presence and doubling its engineering team. It's also been recognized by Fast Company as one of the Most Innovative Companies in 2024, and now is targeting $1B in revenue by 2030, its ambitious but CADDi sure is shaping the future of manufacturing with AI.
