- Hands-on experience with 3D geometry or CAD, such as geometry kernels, B-rep or mesh modeling, CAD APIs, IFC, or Revit.
- Daily practical experience building with LLMs and AI agents.
- A generalist mindset, with the ability to work across the stack and become productive in unfamiliar areas.
- Startup or founder experience, and an interest in an early-stage environment.
- Fluent English; German is not required.
- Experience with Python, PyTorch, TypeScript, three.js, AEC or BIM workflows, or generative and multimodal models is useful.
