About the role
In the role of Data + Software Lead, you will construct the secure digital infrastructure that enables Lykos’repair and sustainment model to be secure, repeatable, and scalable. You will have ownership of the digital system that serves as an immutable thread from intake, configuration, and qualification, through to process and readiness.
What they're looking for
- 10+ years of experience building production software or data systems, preferably in industrial, aerospace, defense, manufacturing, logistics, MRO, supply chain, or regulated environments
- Proven ability to build full-stack systems independently, including database design, backend services, APIs, user interfaces, authentication, infrastructure, testing, and deployment
- Strong understanding of data architecture, physical-asset traceability, configuration management, evidence records, audit trails, event logs, and release-state workflows
- Experience with manufacturing, sustainment, or quality systems such as QMS, MES, PLM, ERP, LIMS, SCADA, historians, maintenance systems, or digital work instruction platforms
- Ability to design data models for part families, serialized components, material lots, process windows, machines, work orders, inspection events, nonconformances, release decisions, and readiness metrics
- Strong security and compliance mindset, including role-based access, attribute-based access, encryption, audit logging, identity management, controlled data environments, and secure partner access
