Build the Future of Manufacturing

Manufacturing is a $13 trillion industry—but much of it still runs on outdated, slow, and fragmented systems. Fictiv is changing that.

Since 2013, we’ve been building a cloud-based, AI-powered digital manufacturing platform that helps companies go from prototype to production faster than ever. Our platform combines intelligent software with a global network of vetted manufacturing partners—powering innovation across electric vehicles, robotics, and next-gen consumer products.

We’re growing fast and looking for engineers who want to solve complex, real-world problems at scale.

What You’ll Do

As a Senior Backend Engineer, you’ll help build and scale the systems that power our global manufacturing ecosystem:

• Design and develop highly available, scalable backend services in AWS
• Build and maintain event-driven, asynchronous systems using Node.js
• Create robust APIs (REST / GraphQL) powering customer-facing and internal tools
• Partner closely with product, frontend, and infrastructure teams to ship impactful features
• Contribute to technical design discussions and drive best practices across the team
• Debug production issues and improve system reliability
• Continuously improve code quality through testing, observability, and documentation
