ABOUT THE COMPANY
Ridgway Roof Truss is a family-owned manufacturing company serving the construction industry through the design and production of roof and floor truss systems for just under 70 years. Day-to-day operations such as sales, engineering, estimating, batching, bidding, accounting, and production depend on software tools and data to be efficient and effective.
ABOUT THE ROLE
This is a developer role that handles a breadth of problems across different tech stacks and departments. You will build and maintain internal tooling across the entire company: both in the office and outside in the plant.

You’ll own the development lifecycle from requirements gathering, design, implementation, and maintenance.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
- Collaborate across departments to build and maintain internal tooling.
- Communicate costs, risks, and trade-offs clearly to non-technical people.
- Utilize agentic tools such as Claude Code to understand and build and maintain internal tools.
WHAT MAKES THIS ROLE INTERESTING
- Autonomy and Creativity.You’ll lead technical implementations end to end, from design, requirements gathering, and implementation, iteration, and maintainence.
- Direct impact.The tools you build and maintain will be used throughout the office and in the plant with an immediate feedback loop to help you improve.
- Wide exposure.You will learn how a manufacturing business runs and how software is used across its departments.
- Stability.As a family owned business, there aren’t sweeps of layoffs focused on the bottom line as there are in large corporations.
- Efficiency.The work is to-the-point. There’s no layers of bureaucracy or anti-AI culture. We care about results, not paperwork and approvals.
