Who you are

We are scaling our engineering team from 5 to 20 engineers over the next 18 months. You're interested in being one of the foundational members of our engineering team. You're interested in a mission-driven impact (rethinking American manufacturing), while getting your hands dirty talking to users and building a product in an underserved industry. We’re looking for someone with an execution orientation, who can think holistically, and can have a strong impact on the trajectory of the company.

About us

Copia Automation brings modern developer tools to industrial automation. Built for automation and control engineers, Copia’s flagship offering provides Git-based source control for PLC programming. Copia’s robust version control, change visibility, and collaboration streamlines how industrial machinery is commissioned and operated, resulting in faster delivery and maximized uptime. We are a well-funded startup and have already generated high interest from leading food processing, entertainment, automotive, and retail manufacturing companies.

Why industrial automation?

Today, manufacturing is powered by an ecosystem of computerized systems and robotics known as industrial automation. The ecosystem is programmed with a unique graphical language that can’t utilize tools such as GitLab or GitHub. Controls engineers are left to work with physical storage devices, incompatible tools, and/or expensive half-baked solutions. In an industry where minutes can represent tens of thousands of dollars, full-featured development tools are urgently needed.

You’ll be part of a team that enables engineers to realize their code through a collaborative and well-designed workflow. We’re looking for passionate individuals that will transform how everything is manufactured.

What you'll do

• You’ll be building a devops platform that enables controls engineers to remotely manage, test, and deploy code in industrial environments (think GitLab for automation). Ultimately, we are looking for strong generalists who can build out any part of the platform.

What you have

• 5+ years professional experience as a software engineer
• 5+ years on a software team using standard best practices (code review, CI/CD, etc.)
• Demonstrated strong fundamentals + pragmatic software decision making
• Experience in designing and implementing user interfaces (UIs)
• Experience with React, TypeScript, Golang
• Experience with CI/CD and DevOps platforms

Nice to have

• Experience at a hyper-growth, venture-backed start-up
• Experience/Interest in manufacturing and hardware innovation (EE or ME)
• Experience/Interest in industrial automation and Programmable Logic Controllers
• Experience building developer tools
