On: Ask HN: Who is hiring? (May 2024)

[vonniwilliams1]

Zoo.dev is hiring a Senior Frontend Software Engineer with a core focus on 3D web application performance.

Zoo's mission is to revolutionize the CAD industry by developing the world's most advanced hardware design infrastructure and tools. Mechanical CAD is in the dark ages, and hardware demands have outpaced today’s hardware design infrastructure. The industry is due for a refresh, and we're laying the foundation for a modern hardware design toolkit so that you can create new design tools never before possible. We were founded and incubated by Embedded Ventures in 2021, and we're a fully remote team.

This person will play a crucial role in the development and enhancement of our novel open-source CAD modeling app, a next-gen hardware design application that allows users with advanced modeling capability. This is a "back of the frontend" role to ensure the performance and optimization of the app as we scale (tech stack: React, Typescript, Wasm, CodeMirror, XState).

As someone who fiddles with CAD in his free time this sounds fascinating.

> a next-gen hardware design application that allows users with advanced modeling capability

But what does this mean?

Thanks for your reply! The team built a code-first CAD GUI that leverages UI for code generation while streaming a 3D scene from our remote, in-house graphics engine that the team built from the ground up- which is the first GPU-based, cloud-implemented system all accessible via our API.

Probably meant "provides" in stead of "allows". At a guess.
