• Strong experience with 3D modeling or CAD-based configuration systems.
• Proven experience developing front-end or user interface-based software systems.
• Understanding of object-oriented design, modular architecture, and maintainable code structures.
• Experience building scalable and extensible frameworks or platforms.
• Familiarity with UI architecture patterns and component encapsulation.
• Experience with test-driven development, automated testing, and code quality practices.
• Strong debugging and problem-solving skills in complex technical systems.
• Ability to break down large problems into manageable engineering tasks.
• Experience working in collaborative engineering teams using code reviews, version control, and issue tracking systems.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, particularly when explaining technical concepts to multi-functional teams.
• Travel up to 10% of the time.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience developing configuration platforms or product configurators.
• Background in warehouse automation, logistics systems, robotics integration, or industrial software.
• Experience with 3D visualization pipelines, geometry engines, or parametric modeling frameworks.
• Familiarity with performance optimization in rendering or complex UI systems.
• Experience mentoring developers or leading technical initiatives within a team.

What We Value
