About PLNAR
At PLNAR, we are redefining how the world sees and measures physical spaces. Our AI-powered platform transforms standard photos into fully realized, 3D digital twins, providing instant, accurate measurements and data for the insurance, home improvement, and real estate industries. We aren't just building an app; we are building a spatial data ecosystem that eliminates the need for manual tape measures and reduces human error, saving our enterprise partners millions while delivering a seamless experience for our users.
The Role: Technical Lead & Engineering Coach
We are seeking a Senior Lead Full Stack Developer who balances deep technical expertise with a passion for developing people. In this role, you aren't just the primary architect; you are a force multiplier for the engineering team. You will spend as much time refining our system architecture on Azure as you do coaching developers to write more resilient, performant, and maintainable code.
Key Responsibilities:
- Technical Leadership & Architecture: Own the technical roadmap and architectural integrity of our platform. You will design scalable systems that integrate 3D rendering with high-performance backend services.
- Engineering Mentorship: Serve as a dedicated coach for the engineering team. You will lead by example through pair programming, deep-dive code reviews, and technical workshops to elevate the team’s collective skill set.
- Standard Setting: Define and enforce "gold standard" engineering practices, focusing on clean code, robust testing, and automated CI/CD pipelines.
- Problem Solving at Scale: Act as the final point of escalation for complex technical hurdles, particularly where frontend 3D visualization meets backend performance.
Technical Requirements
- Core Languages: Mastery of TypeScript, JavaScript, and Node.js.
- Systems Engineering: Proficiency with Rust for performance-critical backend logic or specialized data processing.
- Frontend Architecture: Advanced knowledge of Angular and state management at scale.
- Cloud Infrastructure: Expert-level experience with Azure services and cloud-native architecture.
- 3D Engineering: Deep experience with Three.js. You should be comfortable with shaders, scene graph optimization, and 3D rendering pipelines.
Mindset & Spatial Thinking
- The Scale-up Engine: You thrive in a fast-paced environment, moving quickly from prototype to production while managing technical debt effectively.
- Coaching Mentality: You find genuine satisfaction in seeing your teammates grow and succeed under your guidance.
- Navigating Ambiguity: The ability to take high-level technical goals and decompose them into actionable, resilient engineering plans for the team.
- 3D/Spatial Mathematics: A strong foundation in linear algebra, 3D geometry, and vector math is essential for our 3D reconstruction workflows.
The Mission: > At PLNAR, the challenge isn't just moving data; it's reconstructing reality. If you are a Lead Engineer who wants to push the boundaries of what is possible in the cloud while building a world-class engineering culture, we want to talk to you.
