Job description

For most projects, you will be responsible for working with engineers from each relevant team to determine

  • What data they need
  • What is the shape and structure of that data? What stability guarantees do we have for that data? Do we already provide that data in a different format?
  • How we can provide that data
  • Do we need to parse new files from our customers? Is it an external database?
  • The interface the team will use to consume that data
  • Are we providing them an SDK / Code module? Are we spinning up a service?

Along with this you will need to coordinate with the rest of the parsing team to determine when to extend existing interfaces or create new ones.

You will also be responsible for coordinating with product managers, sales and other stakeholders to provide timelines, expected features and constraints for the projects you are working on.

This is a highly autonomous role and the expectation is that you work collaborative, self-driven way.

Example Projects

  • Provide the capabilities to merge binary file formats maintaining the overall structure and usability of the resulting file.
  • Provide the SDK for generating Schematics, PCBs, and other ECAD data, used by both the AI and Automations teams.
  • Improve performance of the parsing engine.
  • Develop and implement parsers for new formats as required.

Our Stack

  • Rust (CLI, services, SDK, etc.)
  • GitHub

Other teams use

  • Go (Fork of Gitea)
  • TypeScript
  • Rust (services, AI, automations)
  • Python (scripting, AI)
  • PostgreSQL

Requirements

  • Experience working on systems-level software
  • Experience writing parsers
  • Experience writing test harnesses and dev tooling around the core software
  • Strong project management skills with the ability to drive cross-functional initiatives
  • Comfort with ambiguity and a high degree of autonomy
  • Can think in terms of the big picture and deliver on the details
  • Fluency with AI tools - you use them day-to-day to debug, document, and reduce operational toil, and expect this to be a normal part of how the team operates
  • Must be a U.S. Citizen or Lawful Permanent Resident (Green Card holder)

Bonuses

  • Experience designing hardware or working with ECAD tooling (Altium, KiCad, Cadence, Siemens)
  • Rust Experience
  • Compiler Experience
  • Experience with Hex Editors and binary debugging tools
  • Low-level knowledge of Git
  • Availability to work out of our flex offices in San Francisco or Boston 1-2 days per week

Benefits & conditions

  • Opportunity to make a large impact
  • Supportive and smart colleagues
  • Flexible work
  • Competitive salary and equity
  • Health, dental, and vision benefits
  • Generous PTO
  • Home office stipend
  • Relocation package
