Be awesome! Be the kind of person others want to work with.

Strong software engineering fundamentals and a track record of solving difficult technical problems

Ability to independently drive projects from concept through implementation

Strong problem-solving and analytical thinking skills

Experience building production-quality software systems

Ability to quickly learn and navigate complex technical domains

Preferred:

Experience with Rust, C++, Go, or other performance-oriented languages

Experience working with computational geometry, CAD/CAM systems, graphics, or geometric modeling

Experience with mesh processing, solid modeling, or geometric kernels

Familiarity with manufacturing processes, CNC machining, tooling, or automation systems

Experience developing algorithms for geometric analysis, optimization, or manufacturability

Startup or small-team experience in fast-moving environments

Strong foundation in mathematics, physics, computer graphics, robotics, or related fields

$130,000 - $200,000 a year

Final compensation is based on your experience, skills, and what you bring to the table.
