POSTION DESRCIPTION

DrinkPAK is seeking a Lead Full-Stack Software Developer to design, build, and enhance the applications and digital tools that support its fast-growing manufacturing and business operations. This hands-on individual contributor will be deeply involved in coding, architecture, and end-to-end solution delivery while also meeting with stakeholders helping gather and refine requirements. The role includes developing full-stack applications, integrating systems and data pipelines, contributing to CI/CD and DevOps practices, and ensuring secure, high-quality delivery. This developer will serve as a technical advisor and collaborate across teams to deliver scalable, modern software solutions that directly impact operational efficiency and business growth without the responsibilities of people management.

This Lead Full-Stack Software Developer will design, build, and evolve the software applications and digital tools that power our manufacturing operations and business systems. This role is a hands-on technical contributor who also plays a role in shaping our software development standards, architecture decisions, and technology roadmap.

You will have the opportunity to influence technology direction while remaining deeply involved in coding, design, and delivery – ideal for an engineer who thrives in a fast-paced, high-impact environment where their work directly drives business growth and operational excellence.

The systems you'll work on span the full stack and connect the plant floor to the business: production scheduling and line performance data, warehouse and logistics tooling, customer-facing portals, and the internal platforms that let operations, quality, and finance teams get answers without filing a ticket.

BENEFITS

The well-being of our team members and their families is critically important to us. As part of this commitment, we offer:

  • PPO medical, dental, and vision insurance for our employees AND their dependents, 100% paid by the Company
  • A cell phone stipend
  • Annual discretionary bonus
  • 401(k) match program, pet insurance, life insurance, and more.

TYPE: Full Time; Salaried / Exempt

LOCATION: The position is based at DrinkPak’s headquarters in Santa Clarita, California.

RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Collaborate cross-functionally with manufacturing, operations, and business teams to translate needs into practical software solutions
  • Translate operational problems into scoped, shippable software in direct conversation with the team and plant and business stakeholders
  • Build internal full-stack applications, APIs, and integrations end to end, from the data layer through the user interface, across manufacturing, warehousing, logistics, and commercial systems
  • Develop high-quality, maintainable, and scalable code using modern frameworks and practices
  • Ensure responsiveness, performance, and reliability across applications and platforms
  • Evaluate and recommend new technologies, frameworks, and tools to support innovation and efficiency
  • Build net new and integrations between business platforms (ERP, MES, warehouse management, Smartsheets) and DrinkPAK's own data layer
  • Work with data engineering on pipeline and model design so applications and analytics share one source of truth rather than drifting apart
  • Take on complex problems independently and carry them through to production
  • Advocate for clean code, design patterns, and robust testing strategies.
  • Review your teammates' code and have yours reviewed, contributing to the standards the team holds itself to and ensuring secure, quality, and maintainable code practices are held to

QUALIFICATIONS

  • At least 4+ years building and shipping production software, including meaningful ownership of systems end to end
  • Full-stack capability: strong backend engineering in C#, .NET Core, modern front-end work in Javascript / Typescript / React or similar, and solid SQL skills
  • Hands-on experience designing and operating cloud applications on Azure (App Services, Azure SQL, Entra ID, Azure DevOps) with RESTful APIs and microservices
  • Sound architectural judgment: you've made design calls, lived with the consequences, and can explain the tradeoffs
  • Experience working directly with non-technical stakeholders to define requirements, not just receive them
  • Understanding of security, performance, and scalability best practices
  • Self-direction, and the judgment to know when a decision needs a conversation first

Preferred

  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to influence and collaborate across teams
  • Manufacturing, supply chain, CPG, or other operational-industry software experience
  • Familiarity with Microsoft Fabric, Power BI semantic models, or Lakehouse/medallion architecture
  • Experience integrating with plant systems: SCADA, historians, MES, ERP, or automated warehouse equipment
  • Exposure to applied AI tooling in an enterprise setting
  • Cloud certifications (e.g., Microsoft Certified: Azure Developer Associate or other)

OUR VALUES

Our company’s culture is guided by our shared values of Speed, Intensity, and Purpose. These values are demonstrated in the following ways based on the role within the organization.

  • Speed: Take the initiative to promptly identify and address potential issues or opportunities. Maintain a sense of urgency in your work, completing tasks efficiently.
  • Intensity: Remain resilient in the face of challenges and setbacks by possessing a positive attitude, persevering through obstacles, and demonstrating adaptability in your approach.
  • Purpose: Take ownership of your responsibilities, and value the input and skillsets of your peers by working together as One PAK.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
