- Reverse-engineer proprietary binary and text-based formats with senior engineering support.
- Shape Quilter's internal PCB representation to expand support for new tools.
- Write robust, well-tested code for messy real-world customer data.
- Use and help build next-generation agent-powered workflows for CAD reverse engineering.
- Own features end-to-end from design and implementation to testing and rollout.
Candidate Requirements
- Master's degree in a relevant field.
- 3 to 7 years of software engineering experience involving meaningful backend or systems work.
- Strong Python proficiency for production codebases.
- Genuine excitement about coding agents and willingness to master agent-powered reverse-engineering.
- Comfort with ambiguous problems, unfamiliar code, undocumented formats, and binary formats.
- Solid fundamentals in design, testing, debugging, communication, and high ownership.
