Frontend Engineer

About Oden:

Manufacturing is undergoing its fourth industrial revolution, with factory operations increasingly driven by real-time applications that combine process and context data with advanced ML and AI algorithms. This is unlocking a staggering opportunity to improve the efficiency and productivity of existing manufacturing processes. 

As a Manufacturing AI company, Oden is at the forefront of this revolution. We combine large-scale data processing architectures and advanced AI and ML algorithms within the Oden platform so manufacturing operations teams can continuously monitor, analyze, and optimize their production, across a diverse set of processes and conditions. Our goal is to maximize efficiency, sustainability, and competitiveness in the manufacturing domain - to help True Makers Make Things Better!

Culture

• We obsess over customers. Everything we do is to create profound results and delight for our customers. Every Viking cares about the purpose of the product and company, and prioritizes work based on customer end results. When in doubt, we go to the Gemba – we’re happy to put on steel toe boots and hit the factory floor to work with the production manager.

• We move fast and follow through – we live by transparent and scientific thinking, act with urgency, and put in the work to find the best ideas with those around us.

• We elevate each other by giving and receiving direct, honest feedback and holding ourselves and others to a high standard to help the team rise, deliver, and win together.

• “Be True Makers to Serve True Makers.” We’re building a community that fuels innovation and accelerates our pace and impact. We always ask if there’s a better way to do something, even if it's unconventional – then we try it. We aim for bold yet simple solutions that cut through complexity and drive meaningful progress.

As a Frontend Engineer you will collaborate with your teammates - Engineers, Product Managers, Designers, Data Scientists - to build web applications that bring our customers the information they need in the right way, at the right time. Oden Data Applications Engineers help Factory Operations teams ensure they’re meeting their production targets, quickly solve stoppages, and prevent costly and environmentally wasteful scrap. They help our customers’ Engineers investigate the root causes of inefficient production and leverage historical data to optimize their manufacturing processes.

In this role you will:

• Help drive product delivery by implementing new features and prototypes using the best tools for the problems at hand. Most often you’ll build on our prior art: React SAPs and the GraphQL Golang APIs that back them

• Work with the product and customer success teams to understand our users’ problems, and identify solutions

• Technologies We Use

• Frontend language is React

• Different backend languages, including Go, Java, and Python

• Open-source technologies like Postgres, Clickhouse, gRPC, GraphQL, Apache Beam

• Standard infrastructure and build tooling, including Terraform, Kubernetes, Helm, GitHub, etc.

What We Value

• Proficiency with React

• Familiarity with one or more backend-focused programming language, such as Golang, Java, C++, Python, Rust, or similar languages

• Familiarity with data storage and processing systems in cloud environments

• Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate in a cross-functional environment with engineers and non-technical stakeholders

• AI-forward mindset. You’ve worked with AI systems (training, evaluation, deployment) or built products that leverage AI capabilities, and you understand both the potential and practical considerations of integrating AI into backend systems.

• Tinkering. You embrace data and different technologies and want to see how they can work together.
