Senior Software Engineer, 3D (USA)

Remote role based in the United States; you’ll collaborate primarily via Slack, Zoom, and shared docs.

Requires at least 5 hours of overlap with the 9am–5pm Pacific Time window on typical weekdays to align with your manager and core partners.

Occasional optional domestic travel for team gatherings or company events; no regular customer travel is expected.

Design, build, and maintain core components of our 3D viewer in TypeScript, Angular, and Three.js for use in modern browsers.

Integrate and visualize large 3D datasets (e.g., point clouds, 3D Tiles, Gaussian splats, BIM models) as cohesive, performant scenes.

Lead technical design for significant 3D features, breaking down ambiguous problems into clear, executable plans and driving them through to production.

Profile and optimize rendering, loading, and interaction performance for complex scenes running on a range of devices and networks.

Apply strong testing discipline (unit, integration, performance) using tools like Vitest and Playwright to keep regressions low and delivery cadence high.

Use AI-assisted development tools to accelerate iteration while maintaining high standards for code clarity, correctness, and maintainability.

Contribute to shared engineering standards, documentation, and code reviews, helping level up 3D and front-end practices across the team.

5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with substantial time spent on front-end and/or 3D web development.

Advanced expertise with Three.js (or similar) and the modern 3D web ecosystem, plus solid understanding of WebGL; familiarity with WebGPU concepts is a plus.

Strong experience architecting and shipping large single-page applications in modern TypeScript and Angular.

Proven ability to deliver and maintain complex, production 3D or graphics-heavy features, including performance tuning and robustness under real-world usage.

Hands-on experience with automated testing (unit, integration, performance) using frameworks such as Vitest, Jest, and Playwright.

Familiarity with common 3D data formats and pipelines (e.g., point clouds, 3D Tiles, meshes, Gaussian splats) and how they are consumed by web viewers.

Effective written and verbal communication skills with cross-functional partners (product, design, other engineering teams).

Comfortable using AI tools as part of everyday engineering work while retaining strong engineering judgment about quality and tradeoffs.

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

Drone Certification: Not required for this role as currently scoped.

Able to work remotely within the US with sufficient overlap to collaborate with a US-based engineering and product team.

Build the core 3D experience at the heart of DroneDeploy’s reality-capture platform, used on thousands of projects across construction, energy, agriculture, and more.

Tackle deep technical challenges in web-based 3D: large spatial datasets, advanced rendering techniques, performance at scale, and integration with CV/ML pipelines.

Join a small, senior 3D team where your architectural choices and implementations materially shape the product and future roadmap.

Help define how AI-assisted development is used in practice, focusing your time on architecture, hard debugging, and 3D problem-solving rather than repetitive work.

Work remotely while benefiting from an established engineering culture, documented practices, and cross-team collaboration with experts in mobile, platform, and computer vision.
