About the role
We are looking for an experienced backend engineer to join a team building AI-driven power-user applications in the CAD/CAM space. You will own C++ powered web services, working closely with product engineering to integrate CAM libraries into our web product. You are independent, take ownership, and light up when facing a hard problem rather than shying away from it. You know your stuff but are not afraid to admit knowledge gaps and welcome constructive criticism. You’ve worked in a startup environment and love shipping right-sized code lighting fast. We are the kind of team that gets excited about stepping outside our comfort zones – picking up a new technology, diving into an unfamiliar domain, or tackling a gnarly technical challenge. At ReCAM, we are building new, automation-first computer-aided manufacturing applications. It is early stage, so we ship fast and adapt as we learn from user testing, while striving for the technical excellence that enables rapid development. If you enjoy building new and cool software, you will fit right in.
What you'll bring
- he essentials
- A Bachelor’s in CS and 6+ years in industry, or equivalent work experience.
- Professional experience with modern C++ (6–10 years) and fluency with essential C++17/20 features such as smart pointers, const expressions, lambdas, and concepts.
- Strong systems programming fundamentals: memory management, multithreading, performance profiling, and debugging.
- Experience building C++ web services, or ample experience with both C++ and backend development and confidence owning gRPC services in C++.
- Experience designing APIs (RPC, REST, or GraphQL) and a sense for what good API design looks like in one or more of these paradigms.
- Experience leading teams building and maintaining C++ codebases over time, or building open-source C++ libraries with other contributors.
- Understanding of DevOps/SRE principles: continuous delivery, CI/CD pipelines, deployment environments, IaC, telemetry, observability, and capacity planning.
- Proper working knowledge of git and docker/containers.
- Prior experience in the CAD/CAM domain, or with HPC using CUDA or distributed compute, is a strong plus but not required.
- Familiarity with CMake and C++ dependency/package managers such as conan2 (preferred) and vcpkg.
- Familiarity with cloud providers like AWS (preferred), Azure, or GCP and containerized deployment solutions such as EC2/ECS/EKS or equivalent.
