We're building a low-cost CNC laser cutter/engraver can create beautiful products in wood, leather, paper, food, and more. We are a fifth the cost of comparable products because we've offloaded much of the functionality to software. Our cloud backend that does motion planning and machine vision to make it dead simple to use. Push a button, out come flat-pack wallets, lamps, board games, and anything else you can dream up.
We're up in Seattle, just closed $9M from Brad Feld and True Ventures, and have 12 employees.
Our greatest need right now is software engineers, but we're interested in passionate creators of all stripes. To learn more, check us out at glowforge.com/careers!
PS: We'd love to talk to anyone, and especially want to encourage women and underrepresented minorities to apply.
Hi, I'm Dean, the first software engineer at Glowforge. Our software deals with a fair amount of Rails, but we also have Node and Python micro services for certain processes. The UI is very Javascript heavy. We're also writing our own firmware in C. The cloud software is managed with a set of Docker containers.
We do a little bit of everything! I tried to pick the best tool for each purpose as I was building the early prototypes, and we've segmented the system to make that easy to develop on. We are looking for people comfortable moving around as much of the system as possible.
