What We Do
Harmony does AI Automation for Manufacturing.
We help factories eliminate paper, manual data entry, and disconnected systems, replacing them with intelligent workflows that learn directly from the floor.
Our software connects machines, ERPs, and people in real time, turning tribal knowledge, voice, and production data into systems that run smoother, faster, and smarter.
Our Mission
We are here to reindustrialize America.
That means bringing world-class technology back to the factory floor, empowering operators, restoring pride in American manufacturing, and helping people do their best work again.
We believe great companies are built by great people, together, in person.
We train together, eat together, and build products that move the needle for real industries and real people.
About the Role
You will work on-site in Chattanooga, TN, embedded inside customer environments to scope workflows, rapidly prototype, and ship production-grade software on their infrastructure. In parallel, you will build reusable tooling and abstractions (SDKs, templates, adapters, CLIs, golden paths) that make future customer deliveries faster, safer, and more consistent.
Success is measured by customer outcomes (time-to-value, adoption, reliability) and platform leverage (reusable modules merged upstream).
DO NOT APPLY if you:
- Will not relocate to Chattanooga, TN
- Are unwilling to work in person and put in 80-hour weeks
- Are not passionate about working closely with people
- Do not want to reindustrialize America
What You’ll DoDeliver with Customers
- Embed with operators and stakeholders to map workflows, define success criteria, and iterate from prototype to production directly on customer infrastructure.
- Build across the stack with Python, TypeScript, React, Postgres, and containerized services (Docker/K8s) using Terraform for infrastructure as code.
- Own the full lifecycle: scoping, prototyping, hardening, deployment, documentation, enablement, and knowledge transfer.
- Operate and improve: instrument services, set SLAs and evals, optimize latency and reliability, and debug complex enterprise setups.
Build for Reuse (Platform/Tooling)
- Create monorepo-friendly scaffolds (Turborepo/Nx patterns), code-generation templates, and CI/CD blueprints for repeatable, high-quality deployments.
- Ship internal SDKs and adapters for common systems (auth, data ingestion, messaging, observability), plus CLI tools to spin up new services quickly.
- Establish golden paths for linting, testing, release and versioning, and environment bootstrapping.
- Channel field learnings into the core Harmony platform, deciding when to customize and when to productize.
Partner Cross-Functionally
- Work with GTM and Sales teams to unblock integrations, activate accounts, and expand usage through tangible technical outcomes.
- Contribute documentation, runbooks, and training to enable both customer and internal teams.
