Senior Software Engineer – CAD/CAM Services

Re:Build Manufacturing

About The Position

This is a C++ backend engineering role on a team building AI-driven power-user applications in the CAD/CAM space. You'll work closely with product engineering to integrate CAM and CAD libraries into our web-product via C++ powered web-services. The ideal candidate is a CAD/CAM industry veteran who knows their way around CAD formats, graphics, and writing modern C++, or an experience backend programmer who has previously worked with C++ and gRPC. If you are a team player who is happy to be the C++ and CAD/CAM subject-matter-expert on a product engineering team, we would love to bring you on board! We're a team of developers who genuinely love what we do. We're passionate about building great products and obsess over the details that make software feel right. We're also the kind of people who get excited about stepping outside our comfort zones. Whether it's picking up a new technology, diving into an unfamiliar domain, or tackling a gnarly technical challenge, we see those moments as opportunities to grow. If you're the type who lights up when facing a hard problem rather than shying away from it, you'll fit right in. At ReCAM, we are building new, automation-first, computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) applications. It’s early stage, which means we ship fast and adapt as we learn from user testing. At the same time, we strive for the kind of technical excellence that enables rapid development. If you enjoy building new and cool software – and the occasional game session – you’ll love it here!
