Software Engineer

Dirac • New York City, NY

2d • Onsite

About The Position

Dirac is building BuildOS, a creative suite that brings manufacturing engineering workflows together in one environment. BuildOS enables manufacturing engineers to author, version, review, and distribute the canonical definition of how a product is produced. As a Software Engineer, you will own features end to end, from underlying services to the tools manufacturing engineers use. The work spans backend, frontend, and 3D development and is generally driven by customer problems. Customers build aircraft, spacecraft, defense systems, ships, energy equipment, and heavy machinery.

Depending on your strengths, work may include turning CAD models into structured, versioned manufacturing data; developing an authoring experience for manufacturing engineers; building interactive browser-based 3D for large assemblies; creating AI features that draft work instructions and help plan builds; integrating with enterprise systems; and supporting secure deployments for aerospace and defense customers. The technology stack includes Go, TypeScript and React, Rust and WebAssembly, Python and C++, AWS, and Azure. The position is fully in person at Dirac’s NYC office in the Empire State Building. Relocation assistance is available.

Requirements

• Strong in Go or TypeScript and willing to work in the other language.
• Able to read Rust, Python, or C++ when needed to investigate a bug.
• Experience building backend services with typed APIs, such as protobuf/gRPC or similar, on top of a relational database.
• Experience building non-trivial React frontends with real state management.
• Debug using evidence such as logs and reproductions, and identify the root cause before applying a fix.
• Check work in the running application, not only through passing tests.
• Use AI coding agents every day and review their output carefully.
• Clear, concise writing in design notes, pull request descriptions, and tickets.
• Have built something, at work or otherwise, and be able to explain it in conversation.
• Employment is restricted to U.S. Persons as defined by ITAR (22 CFR § 120.62).

Nice To Haves

• Experience with CAD, 3D graphics, or computational geometry.
• Experience with Rust, WebAssembly, or GPU programming.
• Experience integrating enterprise systems such as PLM, ERP, or MES.
• Experience shipping LLM-based features to production.
• Experience with cloud infrastructure and Kubernetes.
• Security or compliance experience in regulated industries.
• Background in manufacturing, aerospace, or defense.

Responsibilities

• Own features end to end, from services to the tools manufacturing engineers use.
• Turn customer problems into shipped product features, taking work from initial conversations through verification in the product.
• Build and maintain backend, frontend, and 3D product capabilities.
• Develop structured, versioned manufacturing data from CAD models, authoring tools, browser-based interactive 3D, AI-assisted work instruction and build-planning features, enterprise integrations, or secure deployments, depending on strengths.
• Work with manufacturing engineers who use the product and, at times, spend time on factory floors.
• Debug from evidence, including logs and reproductions, and identify root causes before implementing fixes.
• Verify work in the running application, in addition to running tests.
• Use AI coding agents and carefully review their output.
• Fix mistakes and take steps to prevent them from recurring.
• Write clear, concise design notes, pull request descriptions, and tickets.

Benefits

• Health insurance, including comprehensive coverage for employees and their families.
• Dental insurance, including comprehensive coverage for employees and their families.
• Vision insurance, including comprehensive coverage for employees and their families.
• Generous paid time off and sick leave, with flexible, high-trust PTO.
• Stock options.
• NYC commuter benefits.
• Relocation assistance is available.
