Senior Software Engineer - Print Pipeline

We are transforming analog manufacturing into digital.

Quantica is a venture-backed additive manufacturing technology company pioneering breakthrough printhead innovation. We've developed proprietary high-viscosity jetting technology in-house that enables professionals to print with functional materials previously considered impossible.

What sets us apart:

• Proprietary high-viscosity printhead technology (NovoJet™) - fully developed and realized in-house

• Integrated 2D/3D printing platform purpose-built for our technology

• 50+ talented professionals across multidisciplinary teams

• International presence with offices in Berlin (HQ) and Barcelona

• Well-funded through strategic VC partnerships

We're hiring a Senior Software Development Engineer to ship the next version of our print pipeline. This is a hands-on, delivery-focused role - you'll own significant parts of the codebase, make the architectural calls, and push them through to production. It is not a people-management role.

• Architect, build, and deploy the backend (Nest.js) and frontend (Angular) of our print pipeline

• Integrate the pipeline with our in-house firmware and with native APIs from hardware partners - including writing Node bindings against C/C++ libraries where needed

• Build the tooling around the pipeline: testing rigs, manufacturing utilities, deployment automation

• Take features end-to-end: problem statement → POC → production, with the reliability and CI/CD to back them up

• Set and hold the quality bar on testing, code review, and build automation 

• In the future: Drive the pipeline's integration into larger industrial systems (OPC-UA and similar protocols)

• 5+ years experience in software development, with a track record of taking projects from zero to operation

• Proficient TypeScript knowledge

• Strong Nest.js (or Express / comparable Node framework) on the backend

• Up-to-date knowledge of Angular

• Container creation and deployment with Docker

• Solid grounding in testing and build automation

• Fluent English for technical communication

Nice to Have:

• Node native bindings (N-API or similar) against C/C++ libraries

• Industrial automation protocols (OPC-UA, MQTT, EtherCAT)

• Hardware - or firmware-adjacent software experience

• Background in manufacturing, industrial, or otherwise non-typical-web-app domains

How You Work:

• You deliver. You don't gold-plate

• You own problems end-to-end and don't wait to be told what to do next

• You push back on scope creep and over-engineering

• You communicate clearly in writing - in PRs, in tickets, in standups

• You enjoy working at the boundary where software meets hardware
