What we're looking for
We need someone with 3–10 years of experience at the intersection of manufacturing, supply chain, and product management who can own our supply chain vertical end-to-end. You should be comfortable on factory floors, talking to procurement leads and supply chain directors, and translating complex operational workflows into elegant software solutions. Bonus points if you have a software engineering background and can build prototypes with AI tools.
What you'll do:
Own the supply chain product roadmap — define and drive strategy for procurement, inventory management, traceability, vendor management, and BOM/MRP modules within the ION Factory OS platform
Go boots-on-the-ground with customers — visit factory floors, sit with supply chain directors and procurement leads, and deeply understand their operational pain points to inform product decisions
Bridge domain expertise and technical delivery — translate complex hardware supply chain logic into clear specs, wireframes, and functional prototypes, working hand-in-hand with engineering to ship fast
Build with your own hands — leverage AI-assisted tools to rapidly prototype solutions, run data queries, navigate APIs, and occasionally push code alongside the engineering team
Drive cross-functional alignment — collaborate with engineering, design, customer success, and sales to ensure supply chain features deliver measurable ROI and seamless customer onboarding
Champion data-driven iteration — analyze inventory flow metrics, user behavior, and customer feedback to validate hypotheses, measure feature impact, and continuously improve outcomes
First Resonance is a Series A-backed software company (founded 2019, $34M+ raised from investors including Craft Ventures, Emerson, Third Prime, Blue Bear Capital, and Fortitude Ventures) building the ION Factory OS — the leading operating system for modern manufacturers. ION gives hardware companies of every size a flexible, API-first platform to manage day-to-day factory operations, from production workflows and parts tracking to supply chain procurement and quality control. Their customers are building some of the most ambitious physical products on the planet: micro nuclear reactors, next-generation eVTOLs, space rockets, autonomous vehicles, robotic farms, and more — and collectively, those customers raised over $10 billion in the past year alone, a testament to the momentum in the advanced manufacturing space. First Resonance is on a mission to re-industrialize America by empowering engineers, operators, and managers with the tools they need to push the boundaries of the physical world.
The team (~50 people, headquartered in Los Angeles, CA) is AI-native in how they build software, and they're rapidly scaling their Forward Deployed Engineering function — growing from 1 to 6 FDEs in under a year and targeting 10+ — as a core driver of customer stickiness and revenue growth. The culture is startup-through-and-through: fast-paced, mission-driven, and deeply connected to the cutting-edge industries they serve.

No applications, no recruiter spam. Just the intro.
A few questions to make sure this role is the right shape for you. Two minutes.
I write the intro, send it to the founder, and handle the back-and-forth.
If they’re a yes, I book the chat. You show up — that’s the whole job-hunt.
