Operations & Systems Engineer
Location: In person (NYC area)
Commitment: Full-time or Internship (Spring + Summer Track)
Role Overview
We are building an AI-powered operational system used inside real manufacturing environments.
We’re looking for an Operations & Systems Engineer to design and build the backend logic and data systems that power planning, validation, and operational reliability.
This role is for someone who thinks in systems — how data flows, how constraints interact, and how real-world operational complexity becomes structured software.
You will work across backend infrastructure, operational modeling, and internal tooling.
What You’ll Do
-
Designing and maintaining structured data pipelines
-
Building validation and consistency logic for operational data
-
Preparing and transforming data for planning systems
-
Creating internal tools for simulation and scenario testing
-
Debugging and analyzing system outputs under real-world conditions
-
Designing backend workflows that remain stable with imperfect or inconsistent data
What We’re Looking For
Required
-
Strong Python skills
-
Comfort working with structured data (SQL, pandas, schemas)
-
Systems thinking and logical reasoning ability
-
Ability to understand complex operational workflows
-
Ownership mindset (able to take a problem from analysis to implementation)
Nice to Have
-
Experience building backend services or internal tools
-
Familiarity with production or operational data
-
Experience designing clean data contracts
-
Exposure to performance-sensitive systems
Internship Track
We offer a structured internship track with strong ownership.
Spring (Part-Time, Remote option available)
15–20 hours per week
Focused backend and data-oriented tasks
Direct collaboration with core engineering team
Summer (Full-Time, In Person)
12 weeks
Ownership over meaningful system components
Exposure to production-grade operational logic
Strong potential for full-time conversion
Interns are evaluated on systems thinking, code clarity, and problem decomposition — not just speed.
Full-time Track
-
Ownership of core operational systems
-
Direct involvement in architectural decisions
-
Responsibility for reliability and data correctness
-
Clear path toward expanded technical responsibility as the company scales
How We Evaluate
-
Technical + product discussion
-
Time-boxed take-home focused on state management and performance
-
In-person deep dive into architecture, tradeoffs, and failure handling
We care about:
-
Performance under load
-
Robustness to imperfect data
-
Scalable state architecture
-
Production-level UX decisions
What We Offer
-
Competitive compensation based on experience and level of responsibility
-
Direct ownership over core operational systems
-
Close collaboration with the founding team
-
Exposure to production-grade operational software
-
Clear growth path as the company scales
For interns:
-
Paid internship with structured mentorship
-
Real system-level ownership
-
Clear opportunity for full-time conversion based on performance
