Senior Software Developer - 3D Team

As a Senior Software Developer at Vention…

You’ll play a key role on the Machine Builder team, shaping the next generation of Vention’s CAD engine and user-experience tools. Working closely with product managers, designers, internal users and cross-functional engineering teams, you’ll build reliable and high-performance front-end solutions that scale as our business grows.

Your technical leadership will influence the long-term direction of the MachineBuilder platform, enabling our users to design and prototype custom machines with confidence and speed.

What You’ll Do

• Design and build tools that lower the barrier for users to design machine solutions for their manufacturing floors.
• Take end-to-end ownership of features: write clean code, design testing strategies, deliver under deadlines, and maintain high-tenure quality.
• Support and mentor team members, elevating engineering standards and driving excellence in front-end craftsmanship.
• Analyze and refactor legacy code, improving architecture, performance and maintainability of MachineBuilder’s codebase.
• Provide clear APIs and interfaces for other teams (e.g., Simulation, MachineLogic) and support internal product-engineering partnerships.
• Utilize linear algebra and 3D tools to support model manipulation, snapping, selection, layering and real-time performance.
• Collaborate with Design, Product and Engineering teams to prioritize new features and drive innovation in user experience.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills. Able to share updates, blockers and technical vision clearly.
• A curiosity to learn, a collaborative mindset, and a drive to contribute to something meaningful.
• An user first mindset with a keen eye for good UX/UI principles honed by years of working with user-facing products.
• A humble attitude with a willingness to receive feedback as you are not afraid of not being the expert in the room.
