What We're BuildingFor more than 30 years, Andromeda has helped manufacturers use technology to improve their businesses.
Nowwe'rebuilding something new.
We'relaunching an AI practice focused on helping manufacturers understand where AI creates real business value - and where itdoesn't.
We'renot chasing AI becauseit'sexciting.
We'rehelping companies solvereal business problems.
You'llbe one of the first people on that journey.
Not joining an established AI department.
Helping build one.
Working directly with our CEO,you'llexplorenew technologies, build internal tools, prototype solutions, and help shape the services we'll eventually deliver.
Some daysyou'llbuild.
Some daysyou'll research.
Some daysyou'llprove an ideadoesn'twork.
That'ssuccesstoo.
This Isn'ta Traditional Engineering JobIfyou'relooking for clearly defined requirements, predictable work, and one technology to master...
This probably isn'tyour job.
Ifyou'reexcited by ambiguity, enjoy figuring things out, and love building things thatdidn'texist yesterday...
You may have just found your next opportunity.
AI is evolving almost daily.
That meanswe'llbe learning together.
Thereisn'ta playbook.
We'rebuilding it.
What You'll Actually DoYour work will evolve as AI evolves, butyou'llspend most of your time:
Building internal AI tools that make Andromeda more efficient.
Experimenting with emerging AI technologies anddeterminingwhere they create real business value.
Building prototypes and automation using AI, APIs, MCP servers, and modern integration platforms.
Helping evaluate and build AI solutions for clients as our practice grows.
Documenting what works so we can build repeatable, scalable services.
Some weeksyou'llbuild three things.
Some weeksyou'llspend most of your time learning something completely new.
Both are valuable.
The Kind of Person We're Looking ForWe care far more about curiosity than years of experience.
We'relooking for someone who:
Builds things because they enjoy figuring them out.
Learnsnew technology quickly andisn'tintimidated by change.
Solves business problems, not just technical ones.
Can explain technical ideas to non-technical people.
Naturally asks, "I wonder if..."
Youdon'tneed to know everything.
Nobody does.
You just need to love learning faster thanthe technology changes.
Here's What Would Excite UsWe'remuch more interested in whatyou'vebuilt than the path you took to build it.
Thingswe'dlove to see include:
AI projects,automations, integrations, or software you'vebuilt.
Experience writing software in at least one modern programming language.
Experience working with APIs orconnectingdifferent systems.
A habit of experimenting with modern AI tools and technologies.
A Git Hub profile, portfolio, or examples of projects you'reproud of.
A computer science degree is great.
Being self-taught is great.
We care far more about your ability to learn, build, and solve problems than where you learned those skills.
Why This Role Is DifferentYou'llhelp shape a brand-new practice inside an established technology company.
You'llwork directly with our CEO.
Your ideas will matter.
You'll influence what we build, how we build it, and how our AI practice evolves.
Honestly...
Wedon'tknow exactly what this role looks like three years from now.
We hopethat'sbecauseof the contributions you'vemade.
Salary Expectations$75,000–$95,000, based on your experience,demonstrated technical ability, and the AI solutions you'vebuilt.
