Markforged | Super Full-Stack Software Engineer | Boston, MA or San Francisco, CA | Onsite | Full-time or college intern | $100K+ and equity

I'm head of software at Markforged (http://markforged.com). We are on a mission to unlock the next 10x innovation in design and manufacturing. We build the world's best 3D printers to liberate mechanical engineers from decades-old, slow processes.

We broke ground in 2014 with the world's first continuous carbon fiber 3D printer, and this year with the world's first sub-$100K metal printer. Our products are impeccably engineered and customers love us for it — our $70K printer has an NPS score of 85. We have plenty of funding, 7-digit annual revenue, and a low burn rate.

We have 4 software engineers and are looking for a few more.

Our software stack:

* Webapp - Express.js / AWS backend, AngularJS / WebGL frontend, Electron for optional desktop client, all sanely-linted CoffeeScript

* Computational geometry engine for part slicing - Written from scratch in CoffeeScript and C++. Runs on EC2, in-browser, or on desktop client

* Printer touchscreen application - Node Webkit / AngularJS + Python -> migrating to Electron / VueJS + Python, all on top of a custom Debian image on a BeagleBone

* Printer firmware - embedded C on a custom board

Our team is all super full-stack. We generally distribute software tasks based on individual interest. As our 5th software engineer, you will have tons of project ownership. Your ideas will influence the company's direction. You will do interdisciplinary work on physical systems and learn from best-of-the-best engineers across MatSci, Mech-E, EE, and SW, mostly MIT grads.

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.

If interested, please apply online at https://jobs.lever.co/markforged/6cd283d8-0926-4e81-8e7c-636... (full-time) or https://jobs.lever.co/markforged/aaf2f2d3-27aa-42ce-96b4-0bd... (intern)


Do you know if they'll be looking for any mechanical interns/co-ops? This hardware sounds fantastic.


We don't have any mechanical engineer bandwidth for interviews right now, but we will start looking for summer 2018 interns in a few months. Feel free to apply at http://markforged.com/jobs to the full-time position and specify that you're looking for an internship.
