About the role

Do you want to change how the world creates?

At Formlabs, we’re building the tools that make it possible for anyone to bring their ideas to life, from cutting-edge products to life-saving medical devices. Our 3D printing technology powers innovation at more than 50,000 industry leaders worldwide, including Apple, Google, Tesla, New Balance, and NASA. Together, we’re helping everyone design, prototype, and manufacture faster than ever before.

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer for our Desktop team with a user focused mindset and strong technical background. In this hybrid role you will be responsible for implementing E2E software workflows, building and shipping PreForm, for ensuring ease of use, including high performing computations and rendering. By joining Formlabs you’ll have the opportunity to build an intuitive, world class print preparation application, PreForm, that enables users to create amazing 3D prints again and again.

**This is a Hybrid role which requires weekly presence in our Budapest office.

The Job:

  • Revitalizing a mature application - reworking core user workflows, improving the architecture, and raising reliability and observability across a large, long-lived C++/Qt/QML codebase that ships to real users on every release
  • Integration - decoupling and hardening the subsystems that connect the app to our printers and to cloud services, and exposing its capabilities cleanly through a developer API
  • Geometry and rendering - mesh processing, support generation, build-plate packing, and keeping large, complex scenes fast on ordinary hardware
  • Systems and tooling - profiling, memory, build systems, CI, and the developer tooling that keeps a big codebase healthy

You:

  • Worked in C++ or any low level language (e.g. Rust); or Clojure, Go
  • Can architect reliable systems and work effectively in a large, evolving codebase
  • Care deeply about code quality, testing, and maintainability
  • Are comfortable with cross-functional collaboration and ambiguous product problems
  • Learn quickly, take initiative, and like working on technically varied challenges

Bonus Skills:

  • Can lead projects and have experience working with remote stakeholders
  • Experience creating automated software build systems

We Offer:

  • Hybrid work
  • Shares in the company (RSUs)
  • Catered lunch at the office 3 days per week
  • Private health insurance with Medicover (Blue package + hospital coverage)
  • A monthly or quarterly public transportation pass for Budapest
  • Free beverages and snacks at the office
  • All You Can Move sports pass with 9500 HUF monthly allowance
  • Free 3D prints
  • An inclusive, dog-friendly office with diverse and inspiring colleagues
  • Development opportunities both in-house and off-site

We build amazing things. Come join us!

We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity in our company.  We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, colour, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.  

Even if you don't check every box, but see yourself contributing, please apply. Help us build an inclusive community that will change the face of 3D printing.
