Job description

We are looking for an experienced Application Developer to join the Metafold tech team. As our primary frontend developer, you will be building a variety of client-facing applications to demonstrate and realize Metafold’s core technologies.

About Us

Metafold's Geometric Intelligence API is a toolkit for working with 3D data. Manufacturers use Geometric Intelligence to evaluate manufacturability, optimize part performance, or extract embedded insights from their proprietary part catalogs. Our customers dramatically reduce manual checks with Metafold's automated geometric queries, answering questions like: What manufacturing process should we use to make this part? Have I made something similar in the past? Can I manufacture this part with the machines on my shop floor?

Built on breakthrough mathematical foundations, our cloud-based platform helps leading brands accelerate product innovation while reducing costs—whether they're developing high-performance sportswear, lightweighting aerospace components, or running high-volume manufacturing operations. Global manufacturers trust Metafold to analyze millions of designs and unlock new possibilities in product performance, sustainability, and market responsiveness.

Who you are

• Experience building applications for the web in React/Typescript (or similar frameworks, Next.js preferred)
• Prefer writing code that prioritizes simplicity and clarity over abstraction and speed of delivery
• Comfortable working with lower-level systems based on WebAssembly (WASM)
• Interest in experimenting with the latest web technologies
• Comfortable writing critical functionality from scratch
• Keen sense for pragmatic user interface design

What you’ll do

• Take ownership of existing and new web application development
• Features range from: interactive 3D viewports; processing and displaying large datasets; and simple asynchronous CRUD operations
• Continuously iterate and improve on application architecture while delivering key functionality in a fast-paced environment
• Pull together multiple ongoing backend development efforts into a cohesive and intuitive interface
• Manage application deployments and enforce security best practices
• Author and support client-facing software libraries to facilitate programmatic access to our backend(s)
• Experience building applications involving 3D graphics and geometry: writing shaders and host/GPU state synchronization
• Experience working with real-time communication protocols such as WebSocket or WebRTC
• Experience building applications for native platforms
