About Copia

Copia Automation builds the version control and change management platform for industrial automation. Our customers are in oil & gas, manufacturing, and critical infrastructure: environments where the code running on PLCs, SCADA systems, and HMIs have direct safety implications. We bring modern software engineering practices to operational technology teams that have been underserved by tooling for decades.

We’re a well-funded startup growing fast, with enterprise customers deploying Copia across hundreds of facilities. Our headquarters is in New York City.

The Role

We’re hiring an Engineering Manager to stand up and lead a brand-new Core Applications Platform team. This team’s customers are our internal product teams, and its mandate is to design, build, and own the shared, full-stack application capabilities that every product at Copia depends on; the kind of capabilities that should be solved once, well, and reused across many user types.

Reporting into the VP of Engineering, you will lead a group of full-stack software engineers and partner closely with the Product, Design, and other Engineering leaders whose teams rely on what you build. You’ll support, mentor, and grow your team while staying close enough to the technology to provide meaningful architectural input, code review, and the occasional pull request.

• 1. Treating industrial automation as entirely separate from modern software engineering best practices.
• 2. Dismissing the cultural resistance of traditional controls engineers to adopt new tools.
• 3. Failing to demonstrate a hands-on technical understanding of PLCs and OT environments.

I bridge the gap between traditional industrial automation and modern software development by bringing Git workflows directly to the factory floor.
