About the role

We're looking for a principal engineer who can drive technical direction for significant product areas and own them end-to-end. You'll work across our stack—from user management systems to our core design application—making architectural decisions that shape how electrical engineers interact with our product for years to come.

What they're looking for

  • - Extensive full stack experience with TypeScript/React and Python, with a track record of architectural decisions at scale
  • - Strong algorithmic problem-solving skills with understanding of complexity analysis, graph/tree data structures, and computational efficiency
  • - Ability to drive technical direction and follow through on architectural decisions across the stack
  • - Experience identifying technical debt, evaluating tradeoffs, and building consensus around solutions
  • - Self-directed work style with strong product sense and ability to unblock yourself and others
  • - Experience gathering requirements from stakeholders and translating them into technical solutions and system designs

About JITX

JITX is revolutionizing circuit board design by making it code-first. Instead of dragging components around in a GUI, engineers write code—or have AI write it for them—to define their circuit boards. We're a ~12-person startup building tools that bring software engineering practices to hardware design.

The Role

We're looking for a principal engineer who can drive technical direction for significant product areas and own them end-to-end. You'll work across our stack—from user management systems to our core design application—making architectural decisions that shape how electrical engineers interact with our product for years to come.

As a principal engineer, you'll be expected to identify technical debt, propose solutions, and drive consensus around the right path forward. Your first major project will be reworking our user and license management system, which you'll architect and largely implement while coordinating with stakeholders across the company. As you ramp up and build context on our domain, you'll transition to working on critical core runtime components that power our circuit design engine.
