• Partner with company leadership to shape technical roadmaps and deliver product goals.
• Set engineering standards through code reviews, testing practices, and architectural guidance.
• Design and productionize machine learning systems for AI-powered CAD.
• Debug and resolve defects, and improve system performance, reliability, and scalability.
• Improve CI/CD, testing, and observability as the product and team grow.

• 7 or more years of backend software development experience, including production software ownership at an early-stage startup.
• Strong Python skills and experience building backend services with frameworks such as Django or Flask, and working with SQL.

• Hands-on experience building and deploying machine learning models in production.
• Experience developing desktop or native applications for macOS or Windows.
• Strong computer science fundamentals and a degree in computer science, engineering, or a related field.
• Familiarity with AWS or Google Cloud; experience with Docker, infrastructure, or DevOps is useful.
