Senior Software Engineer, Language Development
About The Position
We are seeking a Software Engineer with deep expertise in functional programming languages, interpreters, and modern web technologies to help shape the future of our next-gen CAD software. In this role, you'll work on KCL, our new programming language for 3D design. You'll help design language features, identify and improve rough edges or hard-to-use features, and improve its interpreter runtime. You'll also integrate KCL into its purpose-built IDE, Zoo Design Studio, allowing users to build KCL programs using a familiar point-and-click GUI. You can get a feeling for KCL in the KCL book. You’ll work across Rust, WebAssembly and TypeScript building advanced developer-centric features. This is a highly collaborative role where you’ll partner with our team to push the boundaries of interactive, code-driven design.
