Senior Software Engineer, Copia Automation

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience shipping production software on a team using standard best practices (code review, CI/CD, testing)
• A strong full-stack background, with the ability to build polished frontends and robust backend services
• Daily experience with AI coding tools like Cursor, Claude Code, or Copilot, and a good sense of their strengths and weaknesses
• Deep knowledge of at least one statically-typed language. We use Go, TypeScript, and C#, but we care more about your engineering depth than the specific language
• A history of delivering complex projects on time and the ability to explain the technical choices you made along the way
• Great instincts for prioritization and the ability to take an ambiguous problem and find a clear solution
• Comfort making architectural decisions and providing technical guidance to other engineers
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain technical details to both engineers and non-technical stakeholders
• Eagerness to dig into a complex domain. You don't need to know PLCs on day one, but you should be excited to learn how factories actually run
• Previous experience adding AI-powered features into a product
