The Sr. Software Development Engineer on the Duro Design team builds and ships product experiences that hardware engineers rely on every day. You’ll work across our modern stack—from frontend interfaces to backend architecture—to deliver elegant, performant, and scalable solutions. This role partners closely with product, design, and engineering teammates in a fast-moving, highly autonomous environment.

We’re looking for engineers who think end-to-end, embrace experimentation, and leverage modern AI-powered workflows to move with speed and precision. This is a hybrid role based in Los Angeles, CA (3 days per week in office).

A day in the life of our Sr. Software Development Engineer:

• Feature Ownership
  :
  Decompose product requirements into well-structured tasks and own delivery from concept through production release.
• Full Stack Development
  :
  Build across our stack (Type Script, Node.js, NestJS, React, Apollo GraphQL, PostgreSQL, AWS) to deliver scalable, high-quality software.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration
  :
  Partner with product and design teams to translate user needs into thoughtful, intuitive, and performant experiences.
• End-to-End Thinking
  :
  Architect, implement, test, deploy, and measure features with a focus on long-term maintainability and system integrity.
• Experimentation & Analytics
  :
  Instrument features using Post Hog, run experiments, analyze real user data, and iterate based on measurable outcomes.
• AI-Driven Engineering
  :
  Leverage modern AI development workflows to increase velocity, structure context effectively, and deliver production-ready systems.
• Continuous Improvement
  :
  Identify opportunities to refine architecture, improve performance, and scale systems while maintaining engineering excellence.

• 5–12 years of professional software engineering experience with a demonstrated track record of shipping production-grade products
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related field
• Strong foundation in Type Script and React
• Experience working with design systems such as Ant Design, Material UI, or similar
• Backend experience with Node.js, NestJS, and GraphQL
• Experience working with PostgreSQL and ORMs such as TypeORM or Prisma
• Strong architectural thinking and ability to design scalable systems
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Comfort operating in autonomous, fast-paced environments
• A product mindset with the ability to navigate the full feature lifecycle

• Experience building PLM, PDM, or hardware/manufacturing industry software
• Background with AWS infrastructure
• Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, or Terraform
• Familiarity with event-driven systems (NATS, Redis, Kafka)
• Testing experience using Vitest, Jest, or Playwright
• Experience working in AI-augmented development environments

We don’t hire coders. We hire engineers who shape software.

At Duro, AI is integrated into our engineering workflows. Engineers leverage AI-powered development environments to orchestrate tasks, structure context, and accelerate delivery while maintaining high standards of craftsmanship.

• Architectural intuition — understanding systems before implementing them
• Precision in communication — clear requirements produce strong outcomes
• Pattern recognition — knowing when to abstract, reuse, or experiment
• Product taste — recognizing quality and refining toward excellence
• Intellectual curiosity — continuously improving how we build

We optimize for engineers who can take ambiguous requirements and transform them into measurable, high-impact product outcomes.
