Jr-Mid Software Engineer (Crysknife)

AllSpice is revolutionizing hardware development with our platform that brings the power of Git and CI/CD to electronics design. We’re building the first developer-led platform for collaborating on and validating hardware designs, turning opaque binary files into open, scriptable data.

About This Role: We’re seeking a Junior-Mid Software Engineer to join our engineering team and help improve our parsing engine for electronics design files. This high-impact role will directly enable automation for design review, release, and documentation—key building blocks of a hardware DevOps system. You’ll work closely with the team to expand and improve our input parsing layer, contributing to the architecture that powers hardware automation.

Key Responsibilities:

• Designing and evolving schemas for ECAD data
• Reverse-engineering and parsing binary and proprietary file formats
• Analyzing performance tradeoffs of algorithms and data structures
• Profiling and optimizing for speed, memory, and parallelism
• Testing from raw file input through to rendered SVG output
• Driving improvements across the parsing stack
• Extending support for new ECAD file formats
• Building backend APIs for design data processing

Required Skills:

• 2+ years in systems-level software development
• Experience with Rust or similar low-level/system languages
• Strong understanding of lexical analysis and parsing
• Proficiency with CI/CD pipelines and automated testing
• Algorithm and data structure design expertise
• Hex editors and binary debugging tools experience

Nice-to-have:

• Hardware design or ECAD tools experience

At AllSpice, we offer competitive salaries, equity options, health/dental/vision insurance, generous PTO, and a supportive, collaborative environment. Our flex offices in Boston and San Francisco allow for hybrid work arrangements, with flexible hours outside of core team meeting times (1pm-5pm EST).
