As a Senior Software Engineer at Nidus, you will architect the backend systems and data pipelines powering the factory of the future. You'll build hybrid cloud and on-prem services that maintain uptime in high-stakes industrial environments. This is a hands-on, founding-team role driving the software backbone for autonomous, localized manufacturing.
Senior Software Engineer at Nidus
Join Nidus in New York City as a Senior Software Engineer and help build the software backbone of AI-native manufacturing. We are a seed-stage team of defense-tech and AI experts reinventing how robots and humans execute production work. You’ll design hybrid cloud-to-edge systems and petabyte-scale visual data pipelines that power autonomous factories. This is a founding-team opportunity for engineers who want to solve hard physical-world problems and move the needle on American industrial capacity. If you have 3-6 years of backend or infrastructure experience and want outsized technical ownership, this is the role for you.
