Architectural mindset, comfortable designing platforms where AI is a core component
Experience reasoning about data flows, model lifecycle, validation, explainability, and reliability in production
Ability to work across disciplines and translate domain logic into robust system behavior

Nice to have

Experience with engineering or industrial software (e.g. CAD/CAE/PLM, automation, digital twins)
Exposure to rule‑based systems, engineering constraints, or safety‑critical environments

Benefits

A defining role in building a new category of engineering software
Direct influence on product architecture and strategy
Highly competitive compensation, long‑term growth path
A growing company with a motivated team and helpful colleagues
Flexible working hours and a hybrid working model
