Company Description

Nema Systems, Inc. is a technology company based in San Francisco. We develop software for managing engineering design changes and dependencies across complex systems. We will become the system of record for robotics, automotive and defense companies in the US.

Role Description

Hardware engineering is more complex than ever, yet the tools to manage design changes have not kept pace. We're building the solution and we need your expertise.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in ambiguity, cares deeply about product, and can turn ideas into shippable prototypes fast. You'll own key parts of the stack across infra, backend, frontend and AI. You'll help us validate ideas quickly and keep our system running smoothly as we scale.

You will:

• Build full-stack features across a React + TypeScript + Tailwind frontend and a microservice backend in Python and Node
• Extend, maintain, and evolve our current stack (AWS, Kubernetes, Docker, Postgres, Temporal)
• Integrate and evaluate SOTA LLMs models into our product
• Prototype new capabilities quickly and iterate with our customers
• Do whatever it takes to help the company win

You have:

• A bias to action
• Exceptional taste for intuitive end user interfaces and focus on solving end user pain points
• Practical experience with AWS, Docker, Kubernetes (we build close to the metal and don't use infrastructure wrappers / PaaS)

You are NOT:

• Looking for work-life balance
• Interested in over-optimizing non-value-add features
• Expecting handholding, career ladders or detailed instructions

Bonus points for:

• Familiarity with production deployments of graph databases in AI applications
• Production experience with websockets and live collaborative interfaces
• Previous experience in early stage startups
• Previous first-hand experience with requirements management software (e.g., JAMA, Polarion, Doors)
• Previous experience as a forward deployed engineer (e.g. Palantir) or an infrastructure engineer at a hardware company (e.g. SpaceX WarpDrive)

Please apply by messaging your Github repo and evidence of exceptional ability (e.g. a project you shipped) to Luke. A university credential does not count as evidence.
