Software Developer – Full Stack & Embedded Systems

Phase Technologies — Rapid City, SD — ON-SITE ONLY — THIS IS NOT A REMOTE POSITION

Phase Technologies is seeking a software developer to contribute to both our internal business systems and our growing IoT product line. You'll work across Phase Ops (our internal React/Node/MongoDB/PostgreSQL platform) and Phase Connect (our industrial telemetry and connectivity product).

• Develop and maintain features in Phase Ops, our internal full-stack web platform used across sales, operations, and support.
• Build and maintain RESTful APIs and backend services in Node.js backed by MongoDB and PostgreSQL.
• Contribute to Phase Connect, our industrial IoT product — depending on where the product needs the most support, this means either mobile app development or embedded firmware development.
• Write clean, maintainable code and participate in code reviews.
• Collaborate with operations, sales, and engineering teams to define and deliver features.
• Help bridge data between field devices and internal business systems.

• Full-stack JavaScript — React on the frontend, Node.js on the backend.
• Database experience — MongoDB and/or PostgreSQL.
• REST API design and integration — building, consuming, and debugging.
• Version control — Git, including branching and pull request workflows.
• Embedded or low-level development experience — prior work in device firmware (C/C++) or kernel-level development is a real advantage. Willingness to develop in areas outside your primary background is expected.
• 2+ years of practical development experience.

• Cross-platform mobile app development
• Embedded or kernel-level C/C++ development
• Familiarity with BLE, MQTT, binary protocol design, Modbus, serial communication, low-bandwidth cellular
