About the role
About Formlabs: To reinvent an industry, you need the best team. Join Formlabs if you want to help us build tools that let anyone bring their ideas to life. Starting a company is the ultimate test of product-market fit, execution, and resilient leadership. If you're an ex-co-founder, seasoned tinkerer, or Product Leader at an early-stage startup looking for the ultimate platform to apply your experiences, Formlabs offers the infrastructure to build high-impact products without the bureaucratic drag of a large enterprise. Your Impact: 3D printing is as much a software problem as a hardware one. The software that prepares a print, runs a fleet of printers, and connects them to a customer's workflow decides how useful the machine is. The embedded software powering our printers ensures consistency, accuracy, and effectiveness. We're looking for software engineers who think like founders. This posting isn't tied to one opening. If your background fits, we'll talk about where your experience can have the most impact across our software engineering teams and match you to a role. Wherever you land, you'll run the work you own like a mini-CEO, from the first customer conversation to software running on printers around the world. We value bias for action, comfort with ambiguity, and deep ownership over outcomes. We are seeking results-focused leaders/entrepreneurs who can quickly pivot and take charge. Your contribution will span the product cycle, from deep R&D to global-scale shipping across hardware, software, materials science, and business functions. What You’ll Do: • Define Product Strategy & Vision: Act as the ultimate Product Owner, creating products and services that define the future of digital manufacturing by identifying unmet user needs and high-potential market gaps. • Own Business Outcomes : Don't just manage projects—drive P&L results by identifying new market opportunities and scaling existing business units. • Build & Lead : Create and lead multi-disciplinary teams of talented engineers, operators, and designers. Hire and mentor the next generation of Formlabs leaders. • Take Decisive Action : Make crucial, high-stakes decisions that directly impact our core technology and business trajectory. • Embrace the Ambiguity : Work at the intersection of complex disciplines (engineering, sales, manufacturing, marketing) and take full ownership to get the job done. About You: You are a tinkerer and/or an ex-co-founder who thrives on complexity and doesn't wait for permission. You get results. Proven Entrepreneurial Experience: You have previously built a business or significant venture (technology startup experience is ideal), demonstrating a high tolerance for risk and a bias for action. Technical Depth: You have built complex software systems, ideally some that interact with hardware. Comfort with Breadth: You have direct experience creating multi-disciplinary technology products and understand the full lifecycle from ideation to scale. Ownership & Hustle: You possess the "get it done" mindset—the hustle to do whatever it takes, whether it’s pitching a customer, setting up a supply chain, or debugging a prototype. Adaptive Leadership: You excel at both hiring and leading teams and are energized by a constantly changing, high-standard environment. The standard is high, and the work is hard. Success here means you will be fundamentally changing digital manufacturing for designers, engineers, researchers, and artists everywhere. Bonus Skills: • Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science degree, or related • Entrepreneurial experience, such as founding your own business. • MBA or experience in a consulting role • Familiarity with manufacturing, regulatory, or product standards and compliance in industries
