About The Position

We're looking for a senior software engineer who enjoys working close to math: numerically precise, performance-sensitive C++ code that solves real-world geometric and manufacturing problems. You'll join the team that builds the engine responsible for generating machine-ready NC (numerical control) code — the software that turns a CAD design and a toolpath into instructions a CNC machine can run. This is a hands-on engineering role with real ownership from early on. You'll ramp up by pairing with senior members of the team, working through real defects and features, and building deep fluency in a codebase where correctness genuinely matters — a subtle bug here doesn't just crash a program, it can produce an incorrect machining instruction.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree (or equivalent experience) in Computer Science, Engineering, Applied Mathematics, or a related field.
Strong, hands-on experience with modern C++ (C++11 or later) - comfortable reading, reasoning about, and safely modifying dense, performance-sensitive code written by others.
5+ years of professional C++ software development experience.
Solid foundation in data structures, algorithms, and object-oriented design.
Working knowledge of 3D math fundamentals (vectors, matrices, transforms).
Demonstrated ability to work through ambiguous or sparsely documented code with patience and curiosity.
Clear written and verbal communication skills.

Nice To Haves

Experience in CAD/CAM, CNC/G-code, or manufacturing software — a strong plus, but we are equally interested in candidates from adjacent math-heavy C++ domains.
Computational geometry (NURBS, B-rep, surface/curve intersection) or 3D graphics/visualization (OpenGL, DirectX, or similar).
Background in game/graphics engines, robotics or motion planning, physics/numerical simulation, scientific computing — any of these translate well.
Experience with Git-based workflows and modern CI/CD practices.

Responsibilities

Design, implement, and test features and enhancements in the NC code generation engine and its immediate dependencies.
Investigate and resolve defects in numerically sensitive, geometry-driven code, exercising judgment on when a quick patch is appropriate versus when a deeper fix is warranted.
Write and maintain unit and integration tests for code where correctness is difficult to verify by inspection alone.
Participate actively in code reviews - both receiving feedback and, as you grow in the role, reviewing others' work for logic, standards, and numerical correctness.
Collaborate with QA and product teams to translate manufacturing/CAM requirements into robust technical solutions.
Document your growing understanding of the system as you build it, contributing to the team's collective knowledge rather than keeping it individually.
