About Calyx Containers & Calyx Command

Calyx Containers is a packaging innovation company located in Salt Lake City, Utah. Calyx Command is a new AI-native platform being built by Calyx Containers to reinvent how brands buy, manage, and scale packaging and related supply-chain workflows.

We’re turning a messy, email-and-spreadsheet-driven industry into a fully connected operating system: automated quoting, artwork + spec intake, live supply-chain visibility, quality workflows, and AI copilots that understand packaging, manufacturing constraints, and legal/compliance nuances. 

We’re looking for a full-stack engineer to own core parts of this platform. We’ve already built a Prototype and are looking for someone with the vision and capability to turn Calyx Command into an MVP.

What You’ll Do

• Design and build core modules of Calyx Command:

  • Dynamic quoting and pricing workflows
  • Order + inventory tracking dashboards
  • Artwork/spec intake and validation flows
  • Legal / compliance and quality management surfaces

• Own end-to-end features: from rough product idea → architecture → API + data models → UI → deployment and monitoring.

• Expand on foundational engineering patterns: project structure, testing strategy, CI/CD, logging/observability, and coding standards.

• Work on AI-powered experiences – e.g., workflow copilots, smart document intake, recommendation/optimization logic – using modern LLM APIs and vector search.

• Integrate with external systems (ERPs, CRMs, accounting tools, manufacturers) through APIs and webhooks.

• Help shape the product roadmap by working closely with the CEO, Data Engineer, customers, and internal stakeholders.

• Hire and mentor future engineers as we scale the team.

Our Tech Environment (High Level)

We’re building a modern web application using:

• A TypeScript/JavaScript-heavy stack on the front end (component-based, SPA-style)
• A service-oriented backend (Node.js and/or Python or similar)
• A relational database (e.g., Postgres/MySQL) with a modern ORM or query layer
• Cloud-native deployment with containerization and CI/CD
• AI + data features powered by LLM APIs, embeddings, and vector search

You’re a Great Fit If You:

• Have 5–10+ years of professional experience, including senior-level work in full-stack web development.

• Have shipped complex B2B SaaS products (ideally with workflows, dashboards, or multi-step business logic).

• Are strong in both:

  • Front end: modern component frameworks (React or similar), SPA patterns, state management.
  • Back end: building APIs, structuring services, designing data models, and working with relational databases.

• Are comfortable taking a rough product idea and turning it into a well-designed system with tradeoffs clearly articulated.

• Have experience with cloud platforms (AWS/GCP/Azure), containers, and CI/CD.

• Care about engineering quality: tests, reliability, monitoring, and maintainability — but know how to ship pragmatically in an early-stage environment.

• Communicate clearly, enjoy collaborating directly with non-technical stakeholders, and can explain technical tradeoffs in plain language.

• Are energized by ambiguity, like owning outcomes, and want your work to directly shape a company’s trajectory.

Bonus Experience (Nice to Have)

• Built tools in any of these spaces: supply chain, manufacturing, logistics, procurement, legal/contract workflows, or financial/ERP integrations.
• Worked with LLM APIs (OpenAI or similar), vector databases, embeddings, or AI-driven workflow products.
• Experience integrating with ERP, CRM, or accounting systems (NetSuite, QuickBooks, Salesforce, etc.).
• Have previously been an early engineer / founding engineer at a startup.
• Comfort with basic data/optimization concepts (e.g., scheduling, constraints, or routing problems).

What We Offer

• Direct collaboration with the CEO and customers – your work will be in production quickly.
• The chance to build a system that becomes the default operating platform for an entire industry.
• A culture of ownership, experimentation, and high standards with very low bureaucracy.
• Participation in the company profit sharing plan
