Role Summary
This role is an opportunity to work with a high‑agency startup team operating in the hard‑tech sector. You will play a critical role in scaling a software engineering team to build in‑house supply chain and manufacturing software, leveraging AI‑enabled tools to accelerate development and operational efficiency.
This is a hybrid role. In the initial phase, you will be hands‑on—defining system architecture, building MVPs, and writing production code—while simultaneously building and growing a high‑performing team to deliver software for Amperesand’s organization.
Responsibilities:
- Own the architecture for supply chain, inventory management, and manufacturing systems tailored to Amperesand’s operational needs.
- Design, review, and evolve system architectures, ensuring scalability, reliability, and security.
- Develop a team scaling and hiring plan, and actively run hiring efforts in partnership with HR, Finance, and Recruiting.
- Build, mentor, and grow a high‑performing engineering team, providing technical direction, career guidance, and regular feedback.
- Stay current with AI technologies and thoughtfully integrate them into the development toolchain with appropriate security and compliance guardrails.
- Run day‑to‑day software operations, including sprint planning, stand‑ups, backlog management, and delivery tracking.
- Coordinate with global and cross‑functional teams (manufacturing, supply chain, firmware, data, and leadership) to align priorities and manage dependencies.
- Own delivery outcomes, including timelines, quality, and stakeholder communication.
- Establish and continuously improve engineering best practices around code quality, testing, CI/CD, observability, and on‑call readiness.
Qualifications:
- 3+ years of hands‑on software development experience in one of these systems - ERP, manufacturing software, supply chain systems, or IoT platforms.
- Experience working with modern infrastructure and tooling, including:
- Data streaming or event‑driven systems
- Dashboarding, analytics, or observability tools
- Experience managing and scaling engineering teams of 5+ people.
- Strong understanding of distributed systems and production software operations.
- Ability to operate effectively in fast‑paced, ambiguous startup environments.
Bonus Qualifications:
- Experience in the energy, industrial, or manufacturing domain.
- Prior experience building teams and system architectures from scratch.
- Exposure to or hands‑on experience with agentic systems or AI‑driven workflows.
- Experience working closely with hardware, firmware, or operations teams.
- Familiarity with supply chain concepts such as MRP, inventory planning, or shop‑floor systems.
Please note: This role requires working on-site 5 days a week. We do not offer hybrid or remote options.
