DESCRIPTION

We are seeking a motivated Software Engineer with strong Python skills to join our Algorithm team in Munich. In this position, you will have the unique opportunity to contribute directly to our core spatial analysis and manufacturability assessment software—a powerful tool at the center of our operations. This software interprets CAD models to deliver real-time cost estimates and machining times, empowering our users to seamlessly order custom CNC-machined parts.
As a member of our core engineering team, you will work closely with production engineering experts and our web application team, developing and refining algorithms that provide accurate manufacturability assessments and cost feedback. You will make impactful contributions to our production codebase, continuously enhancing the user experience through rapid feedback and iteration.

THE FOLLOWING SKILLS ARE OPTIONAL BUT WOULD STRENGTHEN YOUR APPLICATION:

• Experience with workflow orchestration systems for managing complex task coordination across services, preferably with Temporal and Kubernetes.
• Experience with CAD kernels and spatial analysis, with a background in numerical methods or data analysis techniques related to computational geometry.
• Experience with observability tools for logging, monitoring, alerting and visualization, such as Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, etc.
• Familiarity with Python-C++ integration, such as using Pybind11 or Cython.
• German language skills.
