We are the strongest team in an industry where software has been under-appreciated for far too long. Mechanical engineering tools are stuck in the 90s and iteration time is measured in days (sometimes weeks) rather than hours. We have proven to the world that same day hardware development is not only possible but accessible today. Help us fulfill the promise of 3D printing and bring metal-strength manufacturing to the masses.

As our 7th Software Engineer and first DevOps Engineer, you will have tons of project ownership and responsibility. We move at a breakneck pace but refuse to compromise on quality. Your ideas will directly influence the company's future. You will do interdisciplinary work on physical systems and learn from best-of-the-best engineers across MatSci, Mech-E, EE, and Software.

To succeed here, you need to be a quick learner and have a passion for software engineering. You don't need prior experience with 3D printing or our software stack; you can pick up those skills on the job.

You will be building automation, improving monitoring and security, troubleshooting issues, and analyzing performance. You should be comfortable writing code, designing scalable services, and operating a customer-facing web application with high uptime requirements. This role is based in our Watertown, MA office.
