Software Development Engineer - Print Pipeline

Your mission

We are transforming analog manufacturing into digital.

Quantica is a venture-backed additive manufacturing technology company pioneering breakthrough printhead innovation. We've developed proprietary high-viscosity jetting technology in-house that enables professionals to print with functional materials previously considered impossible.

What sets us apart:

• Proprietary high-viscosity printhead technology (NovoJet™) - fully developed and realized in-house
• Integrated 2D/3D printing platform purpose-built for our technology
• 50+ talented professionals across multidisciplinary teams
• International presence with offices in Berlin (HQ) and Barcelona
• Well-funded through strategic VC partnerships

Your profile

We're hiring a Senior Software Development Engineer to ship the next version of our print pipeline. This is a hands-on, delivery-focused role - you'll own significant parts of the codebase, make the architectural calls, and push them through to production. It is not a people-management role.

What you'll own:* Architect, build, and deploy the backend (Nest.js) and frontend (Angular) of our print pipeline * Integrate the pipeline with our in-house firmware and with native APIs from hardware partners - including writing Node bindings against C/C++ libraries where needed * Build the tooling around the pipeline: testing rigs, manufacturing utilities, deployment automation * Take features end-to-end: problem statement POC production, with the reliability and CI/CD to back them up * Set and hold the quality bar on testing, code review, and build automation * In the future: Drive the pipeline's integration into larger industrial systems (OPC-UA and similar protocols)

What you bring:* 5+ years experience in software development, with a track record of taking projects from zero to operation * Proficient TypeScript knowledge * Strong Nest.js (or Express / comparable Node framework) on the backend * Up-to-date knowledge of Angular * Container creation and deployment with Docker * Solid grounding in testing and build automation * Fluent English for technical communication

Nice to Have:

• Node native bindings (N-API or similar) against C/C++ libraries
• Industrial automation protocols (OPC-UA, MQTT, EtherCAT)
• Hardware - or firmware-adjacent software experience
• Background in manufacturing, industrial, or otherwise non-typical-web-app domains

How You Work:

• You deliver. You don't gold-plate
• You own problems end-to-end and don't wait to be told what to do next
• You push back on scope creep and over-engineering
• You communicate clearly in writing - in PRs, in tickets, in standups
• You enjoy working at the boundary where software meets hardware
