Were looking for a Software Engineer to help design and implement our own file format. Most CAD and graphics file formats are lossy in one way or another and we aim to create the file format for modern learning about previous file formats, their problems, edge cases, reverse engineering undocumented file formats, and finding and solving undocumented behaviors. We are a small startup so there are lots of opportunities to add a lot of value and design systems that will scale with the company in the future. About The Role
