Who you are

You’re interested in being one of the foundational members of our engineering team. You’re interested in a mission-driven impact (rethinking American manufacturing), while getting your hands dirty talking to users and building a product in an underserved industry. We’re looking for someone with an execution orientation, who can think holistically, and can have a strong impact on the trajectory of the company.

About Us

Copia Automation is rebuilding a 50-year old, $170-billion industrial market from the ground up by rethinking the command and control layer and developer tools that power process automation in almost every industrial vertical. Backed by some of the world’s most respected investors, we’re starting by creating a complete developer toolchain for industrial automation that will change how factories are built.

Why industrial automation?

Today, manufacturing is powered by an ecosystem of computerized systems and robotics known as industrial automation. The ecosystem is programmed with a unique graphical language that can’t utilize tools such as GitLab or GitHub. Controls engineers are left to work with physical storage devices, incompatible tools, and/or expensive half-baked solutions. We are currently experiencing significant strain on the supply chain, and developer tools that will enable industrial systems to scale are fundamental to the growth of the global economy.

You’ll be part of a team that enables engineers to realize their code through a collaborative and well-designed workflow. We’re looking for passionate individuals that will transform how everything is manufactured.

What You’ll be Building

You’ll be building a devops platform that enables controls engineers to remotely manage, test, and deploy code in industrial environments (think GitLab for automation). Ultimately, we are looking for strong generalists who can build out any part of the platform.
