What the job involves
- Join our engineering team as a Senior Software Engineer and play a crucial role in building the solutions that power manufacturing shops
- You’ll work across the full stack — designing backend services and building rich, user-facing experiences — and take ownership of meaningful slices of the product
- You’ll work with a modern tech stack, solve complex problems, mentor other engineers, and help shape how we adopt AI across our engineering workflow
- This role is ideal for engineers who pair technical excellence with a drive for customer impact
- 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

- Build Across the Stack: Design, implement, and maintain scalable, high-performance features spanning Python backends and React frontends
- Design APIs: Develop robust, secure, versioned APIs that enable seamless integration and data access
- Apply AI Across the SDLC: Use AI tools fluently across the software development lifecycle — planning, coding, testing, review, and documentation — develop effective patterns for AI-assisted work, and share what works with the team
- Solve Complex Problems: Tackle deeply technical challenges across the stack, balancing trade-offs to deliver secure, compliant solutions that meet our customers’ needs
- Champion Engineering Excellence: Advance our practices — testing, observability, code review, and context-first documentation — so our codebase stays high-quality, performant, and legible to both humans and AI agents
- Mentor and Grow Talent: Share your expertise with less experienced engineers, fostering a culture of continuous learning
- Collaborate Across Teams: Work closely with designers, product managers, and other engineers to deliver products that exceed customer expectations
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.
