Full-Stack Engineer - Manufacturing Systems (Backend)

Terzo Enterprises•Atlanta, GA

20h•$120,000 - $140,000•Hybrid

About The Position

As a Full-Stack - Manufacturing Systems (Backend) Engineer , you will build, deploy, and optimize our internal platform across manufacturing sites. You will support process improvement initiatives, partner in Kaizen events, and help leverage data and AI to drive operational excellence across the business. This is a highly cross-functional role in blending software engineering, manufacturing operations, analytics, and continuous improvement. This is a backend-first, systems-oriented role. While the position spans the full stack, most of the long-term leverage comes from backend architecture: data modeling, authorization and RBAC, auditability, and secure multi-site design. The ideal candidate is comfortable owning core backend decisions from early stages, understands the downstream impact of architectural choices, and treats the frontend as an execution and workflow layer—not the system of record.

Requirements

3–6 years of professional software engineering experience with meaningful backend ownership
Strong backend skills: data modeling, PostgreSQL, performance optimization, multi-tenant
Experience building APIs (Node.js/Express) with authentication, authorization, and RBAC
Solid React + TypeScript experience building clean, workflow-driven interfaces
Experience contributing to or owning systems built from scratch (0→1)
Strong SQL skills and ability to work with messy, real-world operational data
Experience building dashboards, KPI pipelines, and data-driven tools for non-technical users
Practical experience integrating AI/ML tools as assistive components within production systems
Bachelor’s degree in computer science, engineering, or equivalent practical experience
Self-directed and comfortable owning ambiguous problems from concept to production
Proven ability to build or significantly contribute to a product from 0→1
Backend-first thinker who values long-term system design over short-term hacks
Comfortable working across engineering, operations, and manufacturing teams
Travel (30–50%) for multi-day Kaizen events and site deployments
Curious about manufacturing systems and eager to understand shop-floor realities
Reliable under pressure and accountable for production-quality outcomes

Nice To Haves

Experience in manufacturing, logistics, or industrial operations environments
Lean / Six Sigma exposure or process improvement mindset
Experience with DMS, audit systems, or visual management tools
Azure or comparable cloud experience (identity, AI services, data pipelines)
Experience scaling solutions from single site to multi-site deployments
Familiarity with BI tools (Power BI, Tableau) or building internal analytics tools

Responsibilities

You will build and ship full-stack features across a manufacturing management platform, with primary responsibility for backend systems including secure multi-site data architecture, audit systems, scoring engines, and performance dashboards.
You will deploy and configure the platform at new manufacturing sites (SSO, RBAC, site-specific configuration), support tablet-first audit workflows on the factory floor, and translate Kaizen outcomes, standard work, and daily management needs into scalable software solutions.
The role also involves building automated KPI pipelines and self-service dashboards for manufacturing leaders, as well as applying AI and advanced analytics to enable predictive quality, anomaly detection, and automation of repetitive reporting and data processing tasks.
