Senior Software Engineer, Language Development

We are seeking a Software Engineer with deep expertise in functional programming languages, interpreters, and modern web technologies to help shape the future of our next-gen CAD software. In this role, you'll work on KCL, our new programming language for 3D design. You'll help design language features, identify and improve rough edges or hard-to-use features, and improve its interpreter runtime.

You'll also integrate KCL into its purpose-built IDE, Zoo Design Studio, allowing users to build KCL programs using a familiar point-and-click GUI. You can get a feeling for KCL in the KCL book . You’ll work across Rust, WebAssembly and TypeScript building advanced developer-centric features.

This is a highly collaborative role where you’ll partner with our team to push the boundaries of interactive, code-driven design.

• Integrate the interpreter for a domain specific language (DSL) with a GUI written in TypeScript

• Add features and maintain an interpreter written in Rust, running in WebAssembly

• Develop and optimize the frontend of our modeling app, focusing on performance and user experience

• Collaborate with backend teams to design and implement robust APIs that support the app's code-driven design functionality

• Enhance the app's UI/UX by leveraging TypeScript, React, and XState, ensuring that the interface is both powerful and easy to use

• Develop delightful CodeMirror extensions that bridge the gap between the user's code and the 3d-model

• Implement advanced AST/code-mods, CodeMirror enhancements, and deep integration with WebAssembly (Wasm) for performance improvements

• Utilize XState for state management to maintain app consistency and reliability across various user interactions

• Apply a deep understanding of JavaScript and browser internals to improve app functionality and performance

• B.S. Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent professional experience

• Demonstrated professional experience and proficiency in software development contributing to highly scalable and reliable systems

• Solid understanding of modern techniques and algorithms related to workflow design

• Familiarity with libraries and tools for programming language interoperability

• A testing-based and automation-focused approach to engineering
