Software Developer – Full Stack

Location: Grace Company – Salt Lake City Area, Utah
Job Type: Full Time, On Site Only

This is a 100% on site position. Remote and hybrid work are not available for this role.

About Us

Grace Company is a leader in the quilting and sewing industry, committed to delivering innovative solutions that enhance creativity and craftsmanship. Our cutting edge technology helps turn ideas into reality, and we foster a collaborative environment where creativity and technical excellence are valued and encouraged.

"Our mission is to empower people to connect with their passions, unleash their creativity, and enrich their lives and the lives of others by providing quality experiences and innovative solutions."

Our software engineers work closely with mechanical, electrical, firmware, manufacturing, product development, and testing teams to create complete products that combine software and physical hardware.

Position Description

We are looking for a Full Stack Software Developer to help design, build, and scale modern software for current and future Grace Company products.

This is a product focused role where you will have opportunities to work across front end applications, backend services, databases, cloud systems, and hardware integration. Our software directly interacts with physical products, giving our developers the opportunity to see their work move from an idea to a real product being used by customers.

You will be part of a small, high impact engineering team building new products and systems from the ground up. Your decisions will directly influence architecture, performance, scalability, and user experience.

This position requires working on site with our engineering and product development teams. It is not a remote or hybrid position.

What You'll Work On

• Build and maintain modern applications across front end and backend systems

• Develop intuitive user interfaces for desktop, tablet, mobile, and web applications

• Develop backend services, APIs, databases, and cloud connected systems

• Build software that communicates with physical products and embedded hardware

• Work with technologies such as Flutter/Dart, JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, and other modern development frameworks

• Design systems that connect applications, cloud services, databases, and hardware devices

• Build interactive graphical interfaces and tools

• Improve application performance, reliability, responsiveness, and scalability

• Collaborate directly with mechanical, electrical, firmware, manufacturing, QA, and product teams

• Participate in architecture decisions and long term technical direction

• Prototype new concepts and help determine the best technologies for future products

• Turn real customer problems into clean, intuitive software solutions

Core Responsibilities

• Design, develop, test, and maintain full stack software applications

• Build scalable front end and backend architectures

• Develop and integrate REST APIs and real time communication systems

• Design and work with databases and data models

• Integrate software with hardware and embedded systems

• Debug complex issues that may cross software, firmware, hardware, and network boundaries

• Optimize application performance across different devices and environments

• Participate in code reviews and architecture discussions

• Contribute to automated testing, CI/CD, QA, and release processes

• Participate in feature planning, user story development, prototyping, and product testing

• Improve UI/UX through testing, feedback, and iteration

• Work directly with other engineering disciplines throughout the product development process

• Help establish scalable software practices as our products and development teams grow

Required Qualifications & Skills

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent professional experience

• 2+ years of professional software development experience

• Experience developing both front end and backend software

• Strong understanding of software development fundamentals, data structures, application architecture, and debugging

• Experience building desktop, mobile, web, or cross platform applications

• Experience developing or integrating REST APIs

• Experience working with databases

• Experience with Git and modern version control workflows

• Ability to learn new languages, frameworks, and technologies as product needs evolve

• Strong problem solving and communication skills

Front End Development

Experience with one or more modern application technologies or frameworks, such as:

• Flutter / Dart

• React

• JavaScript / TypeScript

• .NET

• Native mobile or desktop development

• Similar modern frameworks

Backend Development

Experience with one or more backend technologies, such as:

• Node.js

• Python

• .NET

• Java

• Similar backend technologies

Experience with:

• REST APIs

• Database driven applications

• Authentication and user accounts

• Cloud connected applications

• Application and data architecture

Systems & Hardware Integration

Because many Grace products combine software and physical hardware, experience working with hardware is valuable.

Helpful experience includes:

• Bluetooth / BLE

• USB or serial communication

• Embedded systems

• Firmware communication

• Real time systems

• Device protocols

• Motion control

• CNC or robotics systems

• IoT devices

Direct hardware experience is not required, but candidates should be interested in learning how software interacts with physical products.

Nice to Have

• Experience with Flutter and Dart or other modern front end frameworks

• Experience with Azure, or similar cloud platforms

• Experience designing database schemas and backend architectures

• Experience with real time communication such as WebSockets or Bluetooth

• Experience with interactive graphics, canvas rendering, CAD, geometry, or visualization systems

• Experience with CNC, robotics, automation, or motion control

• Experience with AI/ML tools, APIs, or AI assisted development

• Experience building software that communicates with embedded hardware

• Experience with automated testing and CI/CD pipelines

• Experience taking a product from prototype through production

What We're Looking For

We are looking for someone who:

• Is a strong problem solver and can work across the full software stack

• Enjoys building real products, not just isolated software features

• Is product minded and cares about the customer's experience

• Takes ownership of problems and follows them through to completion

• Builds clean, understandable, and scalable solutions

• Is comfortable learning technologies outside their current expertise

• Enjoys collaborating directly with engineers from other disciplines

• Can communicate clearly with both technical and non technical team members

• Is comfortable working in a fast moving product development environment

• Enjoys prototyping, testing ideas, learning from failures, and improving designs

• Wants to work directly with the products and people they are developing software for

Because our software is tightly connected to physical products, this role works on site with our engineering team and hardware. Remote and hybrid arrangements are not available for this position.

Why This Role Is Different

At Grace Company, software development is part of the complete product development process.

You may spend one day developing an application interface, another working on backend architecture, and another testing software directly on a new piece of hardware with mechanical, electrical, and firmware engineers.

Our developers have the opportunity to influence products from early prototypes through production and see customers use the systems they helped create.

This is an on site engineering role designed for someone who enjoys collaborating directly with a multidisciplinary product development team.

• Competitive salary

• 2 weeks PTO

• Accrued sick/personal time beginning after 1 year of employment

• 7 paid holidays including 2 of your choice

• Simple IRA with a 3% company match

• Health, Dental, and Vision insurance
