Job Description

As a Senior Front-End Software Developer in the Machine Builder team you will play a key role shaping the next generation of Vention’s CAD engine, MachineBuilder, that allows users to design, test and prototype custom machines. You will work closely with product managers, design experts, internal users, and other teams (Simulation, MachineLogic, etc) to build reliable and performant user experiences that scale as our business grows.

We are looking for a team-player who has a passion for working on complex problems in a start‑up environment that’s moving from early stage chaos into rapid thoughtful growth, where craftsmanship, performance, and maintainability matters. You’ll help drive technical decisions that will influence and shape the long‑term direction of MachineBuilder and Vention’s engineering.

What you'll do:

• Help design tools that lower the barrier for users to design machine solutions for their manufacturing floor
• Lead features, taking on end‑to‑end ownership: writing clear code, designing testing strategies, shipping under deadlines, and being responsible for maintenance and long‑tenured quality
• Support and mentor team members, uplifting the whole team to follow great engineering standards
• Analyze and refactor legacy code, improving the design & architecture of Machine Builder’s code base
• Support technical requests to provide clear APIs to other Vention's teams
• Use linear algebra to allow part models to be manipulated and interacted while maintaining high performance
• Create and improve 3D tools to facilitate design creation such as snapping, selection, layering, etc
• Work together with Product, Design and other engineering teams to prioritize next features that will delight our users
• Inform the MachineBuilder roadmap by creating prototypes and testing out feasibility of features

Qualifications

• Minimum of an undergraduate degree in a related field (e.g. software, engineering, math)
• Minimum 7 years of experience in a similar role
• Proficiency in React
• Expertise in Typescript, with a preference for enterprise experience
• Experience in modernizing legacy codebases while maintaining system integrity
• Solid experience writing automated tests
• Great written and verbal communication to share updates, blockers and write great technical documentation sharing your vision

Nice to have:

• Linear Algebra knowledge
• 3D technologies (ThreeJS, WebGL)
• GraphQL experience
• General knowledge about CAD
• User facing products experience
