Job description
Prometheus · CAD Working Group · **Zurich or London or San Francisco or Remote** ## **The Role** We’re hiring a **Software Engineer** to build the interface between AI agents and CAD: the languages, geometric representations, and runtimes that let an agent inspect a model, query its structure, and express modifications. This is a hands-on, exploratory role with ownership of both architecture and implementation. You’ll help define the right abstractions, test them against real models and agent workflows, and turn promising experiments into reliable software. ## **What You'll Do** - **Design CAD DSL** that lets AI agents inspect models, query their structure, and express modifications as meaningful diffs. - **Build backends for the DSL** on top of existing major CAD tools and kernels. - **Develop B-rep representations** that help agents perceive and reason about geometry and topology. - **Track geometric identity and metadata** across edits, transformations, and exports. - **Solve open-ended geometry problems**, combining existing kernel capabilities with custom algorithms to make CAD geometry easier for agents to understand and manipulate. ## **What We're Looking For** - **Strong software engineering skills.** You’ve built substantial systems and can own both architectural decisions and hands-on implementation. - **Experience building geometry software.** You’ve worked with B-reps, geometry kernels, CAD internals, or similarly demanding geometric systems—not just used CAD tools. - **Good instincts for abstraction design.** You can design APIs, data models, or languages that make complex operations easy to express without hiding important constraints. - **Comfort with open-ended problems.** You can turn a loosely defined goal into concrete experiments, evaluate the tradeoffs, and decide what’s worth building properly. ## **Why Join Us** - Collaborate with world-class researchers on groundbreaking projects. - Competitive salary, benefits, and flexible work arrangements. - A mission-driven culture where your impact is visible.
