Senior Software Engineer: AI

Who you are

We are seeking a Software Engineer to support Copia's fast-growing AI vertical. You're passionate about solving problems through collaboration, experimentation, and ownership, and are happy to pair on tough issues and test your assumptions.

You have experience building AI tooling, not just using AI tooling. Bonus points for experience with controls engineering/PLCs and hardware.

In this role, you will be building AI-based tooling for industrial automation engineers. You will use cutting-edge AI tooling to enable engineering workflows for Copia's user base. Your product taste will help set the direction for integrating AI tooling into existing Copia Source Control & Backup products.

The industrial automation space has lots of information most software engineers are not familiar with. In your day-to-day, you will learn about a wide variety of industrial automation topics.

You’ll join a team that encourages ownership and values pragmatic solutions: weighing short-term needs and long-term goals.

You’re interested in Copia’s mission (rebuilding manufacturing), you enjoy interacting with customers, and driving impact in a foundational industry. We’re looking for a strong contributor to the overall trajectory of the company.

Finally, you're optimistic. At Copia, we celebrate successes, support each other through unexpected challenges, and approach problems with a positive attitude.

Why industrial automation?

Manufacturing is powered by industrial automation—computerized systems and robotics running on PLCs. This ecosystem uses a unique graphical language that doesn’t work with typical developer tools like GitLab or GitHub. Instead, automation professionals rely on physical storage devices, incompatible tools, and incomplete solutions. When minutes of downtime can cost tens of thousands of dollars, better development tools are urgently needed.
