Nox Metals is building the fastest raw metal supplier in America. We start with custom-cut aluminum blocks for CNC machining and use software and automation to cut lead times from days to seconds.

We’re a small, ambitious team based in Detroit. If you want to write code that moves real things, build industrial infrastructure, and solve hard supply chain problems, you'll fit right in.

We’re building the fastest raw material supplier in America. Starting with custom-cut aluminum blocks for CNC. Backed by Y Combinator, we’re combining modern software with factory automation to speed up quoting, processing, and shipping.

What you’ll build:

• Instant quoting and order system for custom block sizes
• Internal factory software to automate cut planning, scheduling, and material tracking
• Visibility tools for customers to track every step
• Infrastructure to support more products, more metals, and more factories

Why it matters:

Factories can wait hours or days for raw material quotes. Our goal is 5 seconds. Every second we save on quoting and cutting speeds up downstream production across the industrial base.

You might be a fit if you:

• Want to build at the intersection of software and manufacturing
• Have full-stack experience and can ship fast
• Enjoy solving messy, real-world problems with code
• Want to help rebuild American industry from the ground up

Tech Stack (so far):

• React, Next.js
• Firebase, Supabase
• Python, TypeScript
• CAD and optimization libraries as needed

You’ll work directly with the founders in Detroit. This is an early role... you’ll have massive ownership and the chance to shape how metal moves in this country.

At Nox Metals, we build software that controls how metal moves through a factory. Quoting, scheduling, cutting, and shipping are all handled through code. We use AI to automate repetitive tasks like cut planning, inventory picking, and quality checks to turn hours of manual work into seconds.

Our stack includes React, Next.js, Python, Firebase, and Supabase. We also work with CAD tools and optimization logic. You’ll build tools that directly impact real-world operations and help manufacturers get metal faster.
