Help define the future of hardware development! At AllSpice, we’re building the automation engine that powers the next generation of circuit design, enabling breakthroughs in smart vehicles, robotics, rockets, IoT, medical devices, and more.
We’re creating the agile development environment for hardware engineers with a Git-friendly translation layer and automated CI/CD framework for native circuit designs. Think GitHub/GitLab + Copilot for electronics.
Our mission is to bring the same modern workflows that revolutionized software: version control, automation, and collaboration to the hardware world.

What will you do?This is a high-impact role that requires significant autonomy and requires a self-driven, collaborative person. You will be focused on owning major components of our Generative AI pipeline and services. You will:
Collaborate across our product and engineering teams to design and implement innovative solutions that empower hardware engineers.
Develop integrations with third-party tools, modern LLMs, and MCPs.
Design and implement APIs that integrate AllSpice’s suite of AI products including DRCY with our hardware life-cycle platform.
Grow your career by having an opportunity to use modern AI techniques such as RAG, multi-agent evaluation processes, and planning models to deliver solutions.
Own and improve the team’s software pipeline, driving continuous improvements in performance, reliability, and developer experience through monitoring and testing of application experience and performance.
Maintain and elevate code quality, fostering strong engineering practices through reviews, mentorship, and thoughtful design.
Get a chance to lead the development of a modern AI-driven application that can understand an engineer’s specific goals and requirements for hardware design.
Create a process for parsing and analyzing design files that parallels how an Engineer would conduct a design review. The system will dynamically create goals and planning processes to provide better reviews to our customers and provide actionable suggestions to Engineers.
Create RAG-based information repositories to capture component information and domain knowledge in a Context Store that can be accessed by our suite of tools.
Create MCPs to provide general domain context as well as customer-specific information to our fleet of LLMs.
Design and build feedback processes from domain experts, customers, and LLMs to continue to refine DRCY and add dynamic capabilities.
Create the integration of DRCY with circuit simulators to improve our LLM function calls.
We primarily build in Python and this team will create LLM orchestration and agent frameworks using tools like Pydantic AI and Langchain
Our Hub application is a soft fork of Gitea
Go [server-side]
Vue/TypeScript Front-end
We leverage GitHub actions for CI/CD and to trigger our agents
Docker Swarm & Terraform for deployment
AWS
Postgres DB
Our ideal candidate should have the following:
8+ years of software engineering experience leading the design and implementation of modern applications in a cloud environment.
Strong API design skills and experience working with external teams in an an API-first approach.
Experience building LLM-enabled applications and an understanding of best practices with regards to prompt construction, interacting with context windows, and minimization of hallucinations.
Bachelor's degree or higher in a technology-related field.
Project management skills with ability to lead and collaborate with varied stakeholders, from engineers to customers, to move projects forward
Experience managing software projects using tools such as JIRA, Notion, or a similar issue-tracking system
Can think in terms of the big picture but deliver on the details
Ability to manage ambiguity gracefully, autonomy, and confidence in being self-directed
(Optional) Availability to work out of our flex offices in San Francisco or Boston on a hybrid basis (2-3 times/week)
You don’t necessarily have to be proficient in all of these, but the more you know, the better:
TypeScript, Python, Go programming languages
Github actions development and CI/CD
Common Web Architectures + interfaces
Project management and communication
Supportive and smart colleagues, flexible work, opportunity to make a big impact, competitive salary & equity, health, dental, vision, generous PTO, home office stipend.

What We Do
What if we could design hardware with the ease and speed of software?
AllSpice is building the first ever developer-led platform for collaborating on and seamlessly validating hardware designs.
The world around us is enabled by novel circuit designs. Consider the seemingly trivial act of hailing a taxi from the comfort of your home. This simple process (for you) relies on a 3 million light-emitting diode display with a user interface that is logically routed to a capacitive sensor capable of tracking your finger at sub-millimeter resolution, an antenna capable of transmitting to a radio tower kilometers away at a rate of 20 Gb/s, repeated 35,000 km to a satellite, which is able to use it’s own integrated sensors and drivers to maintain geosynchronous orbit over decades without human interference.
The infrastructure we've taken for granted wasn't designed overnight and isn't staying put. It's constantly evolving to enable the next generation of life-changing products. But this evolution is currently hamstrung by incumbent and proprietary development infrastructure built for waterfall project management (mostly in the 90s), requiring manual pdf exports, emails, and in-person meetings at each design revision. The next generate of human innovation, like putting the first human colonies on Mars, requires a step-change in how hardware designs are managed. At AllSpice, we've experienced this problem as hardware engineers and we've seen the solutions as software leaders.
Today, AllSpice Hub is allowing electrical engineering teams to dramatically accelerate their development by enabling a truly agile workflow. They can seamlessly push a new design update in git, open a design review, tag stakeholders, notify them by email and slack, all while AllSpice automatically collects review artifacts, like visual diffs and review checklists.

What now?
This is just the tip of the iceberg. Our users are adding collaborators from firmware, software, mechanical engineering, management, and logistics begging for even more ways connect their design data to revolutionize their workflow and connect their teams.
Why Work With Us
We encourage exploration and growth in all areas of our work. We never put a pin in something we don't understand. As a team, we set priorities more often than processes. We enjoy the freedom from overbearing bureaucracy that comes with being part of a small team. We're a remote-first team, and believe amazing progress can happen from anywhere.
