Lead Software Engineer

About KOPE

We are KOPE and we are dedicated to revolutionising how we design and construct the build environment. KOPE is the only purpose-built software platform for offsite construction. We enable the transition from traditional construction by integrating offsite processes and products. We instantly apply real-world products directly to design models, allowing the worlds of design and manufacturing to come together as one. We are building a better future. Join us.

The Role

In this role, your day-to-day will involve close collaboration with our team of geometry experts. You'll be diving deep into fascinating technical challenges, working together to translate those challenges into elegant software solutions. This means you'll be designing and developing robust C# libraries that tackle complex problems, often involving algorithms, data structures, and creative problem-solving. You'll be a key bridge between the worlds of geometry and computer science, ensuring our software effectively addresses the needs of our computational design applications. Some days might involve brainstorming new approaches to a problem, while others might focus on writing and optimizing code, reviewing code with colleagues, or researching new technologies.

Responsibilities

• Be a hands-on technical leader, contributing directly to design and implementation while fostering innovative, collaborative engineering practices.
• Collaborate closely with geometry and domain experts to understand their needs and translate them into software solutions.
• Analyse geometrical problems and identify the most suitable computer science concepts and algorithms for solving them.
• Write efficient, scalable code with performance and resource usage in mind.
• Make thoughtful engineering decisions around data access patterns, processing efficiency, and system design to ensure solutions remain performant and cost-effective under real-world load.
• Participate in our agile development process, including sprint planning workshops, demos, code reviews, and quality assurance activities.
• Design, develop, and maintain C# libraries for computational design applications.
