Senior Software Engineer (Full Stack Enterprise)

SENIOR SOFTWARE ENGINEER (FULL STACK ENTERPRISE)

Freeform builds AI-native manufacturing systems that unify software, hardware, and physics to produce industrial-scale parts at the speed of human ideation. By treating manufacturing as a single integrated system, we unlock a new era of innovation where complex hardware is designed, built, and scaled without limits.

In this role, you will design and build the core platform that runs Freeform's factories and connects every part of the business from quoting to production to delivery. The system must handle large amounts of data, support many different factory processes, and provide end-to-end traceability from powder-in to finished parts-out. You'll partner with product management to architect and implement solutions, make foundational technical decisions, and work closely with engineers across disciplines to solve real, complex problems with your code.

• Work cross-functionally with other engineering and operations disciplines to gather requirements and solve problems with your code
• Design highly scalable and resilient systems to meet Freeform's high bar for quality, reliability, and security
• Maintain accessibility and integrity of the backend data model to enable easy access for business intelligence users
• Design and develop intuitive user interfaces with a focus on functionality over aesthetics to increase system usability

Basic Qualifications:

• Degree in computer science, engineering, information systems, mathematics, or related field
• 5 years of professional experience in software development with Python, Go, Java, or similar
• Experience with backend web frameworks such as Flask or Django
• Experience with frontend web frameworks such as React or Next.js

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Ability to gather and define requirements from technical audiences
• Comfortable "building the plane as we fly it"
