Full Stack Engineer - Crucible

Firestorm•San Diego, CA

4d•$150,000 - $220,000•Onsite

About The Position

Firestorm builds uncrewed aircraft and the manufacturing network that produces them: full-capability plants, deployable xCell edge factories, and forward-deployed sites that stand up production near the point of need. Crucible is the software that runs that network. It runs in the cloud, inside a factory, and air-gapped in classified environments. At the edge, Crucible has to operate reliably on local compute, connect to factory equipment, and keep working when cloud infrastructure and internet connectivity are unavailable. We are hiring a true Full Stack Engineer with experience building manufacturing, supply chain, or production software. You will build Crucible features across MES, MRP, production planning, inventory, and supply chain workflows. Crucible is early enough that you won't just implement these capabilities — you'll help define how they should work for a manufacturing network spanning full-scale factories, xCells in the field, and forward deployed production lines. This is a hands-on full-stack role. You will work directly with manufacturing, supply chain, product, and software to take operational problems from the factory floor through design and into production software.

Strong understanding of manufacturing and production operations gained through building or operating software in the domain
Strong experience with TypeScript, React, and modern backend development

Experience taking complex operational workflows from problem definition through shipped software
Strong written and verbal communication across engineering and operational teams
