Software Engineer, Design Automation (Senior / Staff+)

Job description

Job responsibilities

• Help architect and build the core of our design automation platform: the pipeline that lowers a building design into manufacturing-ready outputs.
• Turn a messy, ambiguous domain into clean, durable abstractions. Decompose large problems, prove solutions in the real world, and cut scope judiciously.
• Design the pipeline's stages, intermediate representation, and the verification gates that catch problems early.
• Set technical direction for design automation and raise the engineering bar through review, standards, and mentorship.
• Leverage AI to both build this system and utilize it within the system itself.
• Collaborate with highly interdisciplinary teams to build towards a highly automated system while progressively augmenting our existing workflows.

Job requirements

• Bachelor’s in computer science or electrical engineering; or equivalent experience.
• 5+ years of experience building production software.
• Strong software engineering experience, ideally in Go, Python or C#, including automated testing, CI/CD, monitoring and alerting, debugging and root cause analysis.
• Experience with cloud-native architecture, especially data-centric applications. Experience managing infrastructure and deployments in containerized/cloud services (EC2, Lambda, etc.).
• Demonstrated technical leadership. Have a track record of turning a messy domain into clean abstractions and demonstrated the ability to deliver reliable code at scale under tight timelines.
• Experience using coding agents to build prototypes, get to a solution rapidly, and augment day-to-day development.
• Comfortable picking up new programming languages quickly and becoming productive in them.
