Bad Boy Mowers designs and builds zero-turn mowers, tractors and outdoor power equipment, sold through a network of independent dealers. Our in-house IT team builds and runs the software that dealers and employees use every day: dealer portals, warranty and claims tools, purchasing and supplier portals, and the integrations that connect them to our ERP.
The roleWe are hiring two Junior Software Engineers to join our in-house software team.

The work ranges from new applications built from the ground up to improving the systems people already use every day.

What We Do
Headquartered in Batesville, Arkansas, Bad Boy is the brand that revolutionized the zero-turn lawn mower game. Bad Boy was the first brand to market zero-turn mowers to rural landowners and homeowners (not just commercial mowers) with a simple promise: A better mower at a better price. Bad Boy became the fastest-selling mower in America, extending its engineering expertise into other categories, including Bad Boy’s line of tractors, the Bandit UTV, the E-Series of 80-volt handheld tools, and commercial-grade gas tools. Most recently, they’ve introduced powerful pressure washer models and proudly entered the light construction category. Bad Boy is known for sporty design, uncompromising power, relentless innovation and a signature attitude that is truly one-of-a-kind. This led to the brand’s slogan, “Power. Performance. Attitude.”
