We are seeking a curiosity-driven Full-Stack Engineer to join our team Variloom. At Variloom were developing a novel 3D printing-based textile manufacturing system from the ground own the development and testing of our software stack from our web applications to our data-capture infrastructure collaborating with our cross-disciplinary design and technical team to define feature priorities design solutions that scale and ship fast. What we need is execution with judgment: someone who can take a problem not a pre-defined ticket and ship it end-to-end. Were not looking for someone who executes a spec and moves on. Were looking for someone who is genuinely curious about how the things they build get used and who improves their work in response to what they learn.
