About the role

As a senior software engineer at Artifact, you'll own core systems in our AI-assisted cloud ecosystem. This will include high-performance diagramming, real-time collaboration, and physics-based modelling and simulation. You'll help architect the technical foundation of a product that's redefining how engineers design and build hardware.

Role:

  • Architect application infrastructure, including cloud ecosystem, AI copilot, and physics simulation backend
  • Lead development of major features - including architecture, implementation, deployment, and sustainment
  • Collaborate with product team to deliver capabilities that customers need
  • Define and support technical standards and long-term system architecture as the product and team scale

Qualifications:

  • 5+ years of experience as a software engineer with ownership of production systems or large-scale features
  • Deep expertise in at least one layer of the stack (e.g. frontend frameworks, real-time collaboration, AI systems)
  • Proficient with modern tools such as react, typescript, and python
  • Strong product intuition and ability to collaborate across disciplines in a high-content fast-paced environment

About Artifact

Artifact is a collaborative IDE for hardware engineers - accelerating every step in the engineering lifecycle:

Design → Procurement → Manufacturing → Integration → Test → Sustainment

We've raised $3.5M to build an integrated, verifiable AI copilot with an intuitive UI that reflects how hardware actually gets built. Every artifact is auto-generated and traceable to a single-source of truth.

We believe hardware engineering should be rigorous, deliberate, and system-aware. We work directly with customers solving the world's hardest technical problems to modernize how complex hardware is engineered.
