Senior Python/C++ Developer with hardware integration experience

We’re looking for a Senior Python/C++ Developer with strong experience in hardware integration and desktop client development to join an ambitious R&D project in the 3D printing industry. This is an opportunity to work at the frontier of physical-digital integration — shaping how 3D content is delivered and printed in real time.

About the Project

We’re building a platform where users can purchase 3D models online and instantly print them on local 3D printers with no manual setup. You will develop the client-side solution (desktop service or app) that links the cloud to a wide range of 3D printers — including plastic, metal, and concrete-based devices — through SDKs, APIs, and custom protocols.

Must-Have Requirements

• 5+ years of development experience
• Strong skills in Python and/or C++
• Experience with hardware-level communication and protocol handling
• Knowledge of G-code, STL/OBJ formats, and print workflows
• USB/Serial/WebSocket integration experience
• Cross-platform development proficiency
• Experience with CI/CD and packaging systems (MSI, DMG, DEB)
• English: Upper-Intermediate+

Bonus Points

• Experience with 3D printer SDKs (e.g., Ultimaker, Prusa, Formlabs)
• Familiarity with slicing tools (e.g., Cura, Slic3r, Simplify3D)
• Knowledge of embedded or IoT protocols
• Experience in building auto-updating desktop agents
• Understanding of 3D rendering or CAD pipelines

Responsibilities

• Develop a cross-platform desktop or background service (Windows/macOS/Linux) that communicates with local 3D printers
• Integrate various hardware devices via SDKs, drivers, and open interfaces
• Handle STL/OBJ parsing and translate 3D models into G-code
• Build a scalable and modular architecture to support new printing technologies
• Design a configuration system with templates for different materials and machines
• Test and debug hardware interactions using real devices
• Collaborate closely with frontend/backend developers and hardware partners
• Participate in R&D discussions and help drive product-level decisions

What we offer:

1. 24 calendar days of paid vacation per year (after the trial period); 2. Paid sick days (after the trial period); 3. Possibility to work remotely; 4. Possibility to visit English courses; 5. Possibility of having consultations with a psychologist.
