Software Engineer full_time

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 geometrical 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

• Collaborate closely with other developers and domain experts to create exceptional products.
• Collaborate closely with geometry 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.
• 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.
• Write clean, efficient, and well-documented code.

Requirements

• Strong C# knowledge with .NET framework/.NET Core
• Proven ability to architect and develop reusable libraries with a focus on computational design applications.
• Exceptional ability to understand complex geometrical problems and translate them into appropriate computer science concepts (e.g., data structures, algorithms, design patterns).
• Skills in collaborating with domain experts (geometry experts in this case) to design and implement effective software solutions.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills for effective collaboration and knowledge sharing.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills to tackle complex challenges.
• Proficiency with Git or similar version control systems.

• Highly adaptable and keen to develop your skills in a collaborative & engaging environment

Bonus skills:

• Knowledge of computational geometry concepts and techniques would be a significant advantage.
• Ability to write optimized code for performance-critical applications.
• Experience with unit testing and other software testing methodologies.
• Familiarity with Agile development practices.
