Help shape the future of hardware development.At AllSpice, we’re turning opaque binary design files into open, scriptable data, and building a common interface layer for hardware development—think GitHub for electronics.We’re the first and only company focused on modernizing the hardware development process, making it faster and more collaborative. Our tools include a git-friendly translation layer and a native CI/CD framework for circuit designs, enabling the same agile workflows software teams have enjoyed for years.Read more about us in TechCrunch here, and our latest Series A announcement here!We’re looking for a backend engineer to help us improve our parsing engine for electronics design files. Your work will directly enable automation for design review, release, and documentation—key building blocks of a hardware DevOps system.What will you do?This is a high-impact role where you’ll work closely with the team to expand and improve our input parsing layer. You’ll contribute to the architecture that powers hardware automation, and should be excited about systems programming and working closely with the data. You’ll be responsible for:Designing and refining representations of parsed ECAD files stored in Git repositoriesDriving end-to-end improvements in capabilities and performance across the stack, coordinating with other engineering teams as necessaryImplementing testing architectures that allows for incremental improvements Providing mentorship to other engineers in modern development and test practicesExample projects:Lead the technical implementation for supporting new ECAD file formatsDesign and implement new analyses for ECAD file formats Speed up our end-to-end performance via algorithmic and architectural improvementsStandardize and document our internal data formatsOur stackRust back-end parsing layer for ECAD (electrical computer-aided design) filesGithub for code reviewExpectationsOur ideal candidate should have the following:8+ years of software engineering experience3+ years of production Rust experienceBachelor’s degree or higher in a technology-related fieldExperience managing software projects using tools such as JIRA, Notion, or a similar issue-tracking systemCan think in terms of the big picture but deliver on the detailsAbility to manage ambiguity gracefully, autonomy, and confidence in being self-directedRelevant skillsYou don’t necessarily have to be proficient in all of these, but the more you know, the better:Knowledge of low-level Git operations and file layoutLexical analysis and parsing of both text and binary formatsHex editors and binary debugging toolsCI/CD pipelines and automated testingHardware design or ECAD tools (nice to have, but not required)BenefitsJoin a team of supportive and intelligent colleagues, enjoy flexible work arrangements, seize the opportunity to make a significant impact, receive a competitive salary & equity, health, dental, vision benefits, generous PTO, and a home office stipend.
