APPLY HERE: : In-Person Only, Chattanooga TN (with frequent travel to factories)

Equity: TBD
Company Website: ⸻
What We Do
AI Automation for Manufacturing.
We help factories eliminate paper, manual data entry, and disconnected systems, replacing them with intelligent workflows that learn directly from the factory floor.
Our software connects machines, ERPs, and people in real time, turning tribal knowledge, production data, and quality workflows into systems that run smoother, faster, and smarter.
Factories today still run on whiteboards, spreadsheets, and tribal knowledge. Harmony turns those processes into AI-powered workflows that actually execute the work.
Backed by the founders of HubSpot, Typeform, Apollo, Hustle Fund, Brickyard, and more.

Our Mission
We are here to reindustrialize America.
That means bringing world-class technology back to the factory floor, empowering operators, restoring pride in American manufacturing, and helping people do their best work again.

We train together, eat together, and build products that move the needle for real industries and real people.
