Staff Software Engineer, Digital Engineering
Key Skills for This Role
Full Job Posting
RESPONSIBILITIES
- Architecture & Design
- Design the domain data models and workflows for in-house systems of record — parts, revisions, BOMs, change orders, and as-built records — with lifecycle states and end-to-end traceability.
- Architect the services, APIs, integrations, and event-driven data flows that connect our applications with the off-the-shelf tools they work alongside and, over time, replace.
- Own significant parts of the network, infrastructure, and security design, including role-based access and audit for export-controlled data.
- Technical Execution
- Build and ship full-stack applications end to end — data model, services and APIs, workflow, and web user interface — and operate them in production.
- Plan and execute migrations from off-the-shelf tools to in-house software: data migration, parallel operation, and cutover, without breaking traceability.
- Build in observability, auditability, sync health, and data-quality checks as first-class features.
- Set and uphold engineering standards — code quality, testing, reviews, and technical documentation.
- Leadership & Collaboration
- Mentor senior and early-career engineers and raise the technical bar across the team.
- Work directly with engineering, supply chain, and manufacturing users to understand real workflows and ship software that fits them.
- Partner with the teams that own today's engineering and business systems to design integrations and plan migrations that respect how those systems are run.
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
- 8+ years of software engineering experience, with a track record designing and shipping production applications, services, and system integrations.
- Experience building user-facing web applications end to end — from data model and APIs to a modern front end (e.g., TypeScript, React).
- Deep experience with API design, event-driven architectures, and reliably moving and transforming data between disparate systems.
- Strong grasp of domain data modeling for complex, versioned records, and of keeping data consistent and traceable across multiple systems of record.
- Experience building for observability, auditability, and data quality in production.
- Cloud and infrastructure fluency (e.g., AWS), plus strong fundamentals across networking, security, and CI/CD.
- Proficiency in one or more modern programming languages (e.g., Go, Python).
- Track record setting technical direction across multiple services or teams and mentoring other engineers, including senior engineers.
- U.S. Citizen or lawful permanent resident (U.S. Person) as required under ITAR.
- Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance.
- Work Location: this role is hybrid/onsite at our facilities in Denver, CO or Long Beach, CA. #LI-Onsite

- Familiarity with digital thread / digital engineering concepts and product-lifecycle data.
- Experience with Go and building products from an early stage.
- Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code (e.g., Terraform), GitOps, and CI/CD.
