Glowforge | Full Time | Seattle

(we just launched pre-orders!) I believe we are the most-successful crowdfunded fabrication device in history ($4.7 in 7 days): www.glowforge.com

We're building a low-cost CNC laser cutter/engraver can create beautiful products in wood, leather, paper, food, and more. We are a fifth the cost of comparable products because we've offloaded much of the functionality to software. Our cloud backend that does motion planning and machine vision to make it dead simple to use. Push a button, out come flat-pack wallets, lamps, board games, and anything else you can dream up.

We're up in Seattle, are backed with $9M from Brad Feld and True Ventures, and have 12 employees. The three founders have manufactured hardware, sold companies, graduated from YC, and built profitable businesses. Our team is made up of folks who've worked at Apple, Google, and more.

Our greatest need right now is software engineers, but we're interested in passionate creators of all stripes. To learn more, check us out at glowforge.com/careers!

PS: We'd love to talk to anyone, and especially want to encourage women and underrepresented minorities to apply.
