• Integrate across systems (CAD exports, part libraries, pricing, quoting, work instructions)
• Build fast, simple UIs that operators and designers actually enjoy using
• Work directly with the founder and shop floor to iterate quickly
• Use AI tools aggressively to move faster
• Build software that interfaces with machine tools

Your skillset

• Comfortable building full-stack systems
• Strong in React + TypeScript
• Strong in Python
• Comfortable with systems/performance work ( C++ a plus )
• Able to work with messy, real-world data
• 3+ years of experience
• As a founding engineer, you’ll have real influence over the tech stack and direction.

Bonus points

• You’ve shipped production software used by real users
• You’ve built internal tools or automation (ops/manufacturing)

Sounds like this is something for you - we look forward to your application
