Software infrastructure engineer
we are seeking a infrastructure engineer to design, build, and maintain internal software infrastructure and tools that enable a scalable, reliable, and data-driven manufacturing production environment. This role sits at the intersection of software engineering and manufacturing operations, with a strong emphasis on systems that support production execution, visibility, quality, and continuous improvement. The ideal candidate brings hands-on experience developing internal tools in a production setting and understands how software reliability directly impacts manufacturing throughput and operational performance.
key responsibilities
* design, develop, and maintain internal software tools and platforms that support manufacturing and production operations
* build scalable infrastructure and backend services to support growing production volumes and complexity
* integrate software systems with manufacturing equipment, databases, and enterprise systems (e.g., mes, test systems, traceability, analytics)
* develop and maintain data pipelines and database integrations to ensure accurate, timely, and actionable production data
* partner closely with manufacturing engineering, operations, quality, and it to translate operational needs into robust software solutions
* implement monitoring, logging, and alerting to ensure system reliability and rapid issue detection in production environments
* apply ui/ux best practices to ensure internal tools are intuitive, efficient, and aligned with operator and engineer workflows
* support continuous improvement initiatives by enabling better data visibility, automation, and system resilience
* contribute to software best practices including code quality, documentation, testing, and deployment standards
required qualifications
* bachelor's degree in computer science, software engineering, electrical engineering, or a related field
* 5–7 years of professional experience building software tools or infrastructure, ideally in manufacturing or production environments
* proven experience working with typescript, react, python and developing scalable, high performance data driven web applications.
* demonstrated experience supporting manufacturing, production, or operations-focused systems
* strong experience with database design, integration, and data-driven applications
* hands-on experience with microsoft azure services and cloud-based infrastructure
* experience using datadog (or similar observability platforms) for monitoring, logging, and performance tracking
* solid understanding of software engineering best practices, including version control, ci/cd, and system reliability
* working knowledge of ui/ux design principles for internal or operational tools
* fluent in both english and spanish
preferred qualifications
* experience building or supporting internal manufacturing systems such as mes, test infrastructure, traceability platforms, or analytics tools
* familiarity with production data flows, factory automation, or equipment integration
* experience designing systems for high availability and operational resilience in a production environment
