Fictiv is a fast growing start-up based in San-Francisco, California - it was founded in 2013 and is revolutionising the $13 trillion manufacturing industry with a cloud-based, AI-powered platform. Fictiv’s software driven approach to manufacturing simplifies and accelerates the entire product development cycle, from prototype to production. The Fictiv Digital Manufacturing Ecosystem pairs intelligent workflow and collaboration software with a global network of highly vetted manufacturers. Fictiv’s combination of an easy-to-use cloud platform; design, quoting, billing and logistics systems; and an intelligent orchestration engine that manages our manufacturing partner network helps deliver high-quality mechanical parts at unprecedented speeds. At a time when manufacturing has become more global but remains rooted in outdated and time-intensive processes, Fictiv’s modern approach has proven to be a disruptive force in hardware manufacturing. Embraced as a trusted partner, Fictiv is transforming the way in which Silicon Valley innovators in electric and autonomous automobiles, medical robotics and consumer electronics deliver the next generation of products.

Fictiv recently announced a new $35M round of funding led by 40 North Ventures to aggressively expand Fictiv’s groundbreaking Digital Manufacturing Ecosystem. Honeywell, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp., Adit Ventures, and M20 also participated, along with previous investors including Accel, G2VP, Bill Gates, and Tandon Group, bringing Fictiv’s total investment to $92M.

Fictiv is expanding it’s engineering team in Pune, India - we are looking for talented engineers to join us in building a highly available, performant system that scales globally with our fast-growing business.

What’s in it for you?

Small Team, Big Impact
We are a small team taking the next step in evolving our systems and infrastructure. You will play a key role in sharpening our technical execution as well as elevating our technical standards. With our team at a small size and growing, you will be well positioned to have a wide impact over a range of systems and decisions.

Inspiring Customers
Our customers work on products that push technological boundaries – from self-driving cars to low-cost water purification systems. They inspire us to develop systems to move faster, build higher quality products, and shape the future of manufacturing.

Change An Industry
We have a big vision for what manufacturing should be, and we are determined to make that vision real. You’ll be working with smart, mission driven teammates to create significant change in this industry.

 What You’ll Be Doing

Our main challenge is to build a secure, globally scalable system. We need to reliably ingest, quote, and track millions of parts as they are manufactured around the world. We also handle a significant amount of pre-production intellectual property. Because of this, we are looking for backend engineers with experience developing secure, highly available cloud applications, and are solid contributors and can fully participate on Scrum teams to achieve team goals.
