Do you want to change how the world creates?

At Formlabs, we’re building the tools that make it possible for anyone to bring their ideas to life, from cutting-edge products to life-saving medical devices. Our 3D printing technology powers innovation at more than 50,000 industry leaders worldwide, including Apple, Google, Tesla, New Balance, and NASA. Together, we’re helping everyone design, prototype, and manufacture faster than ever before.

We’re a team of hands-on builders, engineers, and innovators reinventing how the world makes physical things. If you’re ready to shape the future of fabrication, come build it with us.

Our Software team develops a developer-friendly platform that enables programmatic access to PreForm and Formlabs printers. We build APIs, SDKs, and automation tools that allow customers and partners to integrate their applications and workflows with the Formlabs ecosystem. This work spans desktop applications, embedded devices, networking, and cloud services. As a Software Engineer on the API & Automation team, you’ll solve problems where reliability, usability, and system design are equally important, building software that ultimately controls physical manufacturing processes.

We’re looking for engineers at all experience levels, from early-career engineers building their expertise to experienced engineers ready to take on complex technical challenges. You don’t need previous 3D printing experience. We’re looking for people who enjoy tackling difficult problems and are excited to build software that connects developers to physical manufacturing systems.
