Backend / Fullstack Software Engineer (Thingiverse)

Do you dream in code and love the idea of scaling a platform that powers millions of creators?
Welcome to Thingiverse, where we’re on a mission to make 3D printing so easy anyone can do it (1 click and print)  by growing the largest design-sharing platform out there. Now backed by Ultimaker, we’re leveling up and need YOU to help us shape the future.

What You’ll Tackle:

  • Design, build, and fine-tune backend systems in PHP and Node.js that handle massive traffic—20 million monthly visits and counting!
  • Elevate our API game, making it faster, smarter, and more user-friendly.
  • Dive into frontend magic when the need arises (React, TypeScript, SCSS—oh my!).
  • Tame Kubernetes and Docker to keep our infrastructure humming.
  • Keep our code so clean it could win awards.
  • Be part of an Agile squad, collaborating like pros in stand-ups, sprints, and retrospectives.

What Makes You a Fit:

  • You’ve got a degree in Computer Science or you’ve coded your way into an equally impressive skill set.
  • PHP, Node.js, MySQL, Redis—these are your playgrounds.
  • Familiarity with Docker and Kubernetes makes you smile.
  • You know enough frontend (React, Webpack, TypeScript) to be dangerous.
  • Communicating in English? No sweat.
  • You thrive on building systems that scale, impress, and don’t break under pressure.

Bonus Points For:

  • Experience with Elasticsearch (major props!).
  • A love for 3D printing or CAD modeling.
  • Optimizing high-traffic platforms for peak performance
