About this role

<div class="content-intro"><p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Xometry (NASDAQ: XMTR) powers the industries of today and tomorrow by connecting the people with big ideas to the manufacturers who can bring them to life. Xometry’s digital marketplace gives manufacturers the critical resources they need to grow their business while also making it easy for buyers at Fortune 1000 companies to tap into global manufacturing capacity.</span></p></div><p></p> <p data-path-to-node="4"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Xometry is looking for a Staff Software Engineer to join our Core Platform team. This role is a strategic technical leadership position focused on the architectural evolution of our flagship enterprise partnership.</span></p> <p data-path-to-node="5"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">While our current plug-ins function as external add-ons, you will be responsible for re-architecting Xometry’s core application services to live natively within our partner's digital ecosystem. You will shape the technical direction of multiple products, establishing the engineering patterns that allow Xometry’s AI—trained on millions of parts—to operate directly on our partner's native 3D geometry. Your goal is to move the architectural framework toward a "target state" where users experience zero-latency DFM feedback and one-click procurement without ever leaving their primary enterprise design environment.</span></p> <p data-path-to-node="6"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">This role requires a hybrid schedule (3 days a week) at our North Bethesda, MD or Waltham, MA office location.</span></p> <h2 data-path-to-node="8"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">How You'll Contribute</span></h2> <ul data-path-to-node="9"> <li style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> <p data-path-to-node="9,0,0"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><strong data-path-to-node="9,0,0" data-index-in-node="0">Software Development and Technical Craft:</strong> You will design high-performance solutions that extend beyond a single org, establishing the organizational standards for how Xometry-AI is embedded into external PLM environments.
