Join Formlabs if you want to help us build tools that let anyone bring their ideas to life. \nStarting 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.\nYour Impact: \n3D 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. \nWherever 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. \nWe 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.\nWhat You’ll Do:\nDefine 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.\nOwn Business Outcomes: Don't just manage projects-drive P&L results by identifying new market opportunities and scaling existing business units.\nBuild & Lead: Create and lead multi-disciplinary teams of talented engineers, operators, and designers. Hire and mentor the next generation of Formlabs leaders.\nTake Decisive Action: Make crucial, high-stakes decisions that directly impact our core technology and business trajectory.\n Embrace the Ambiguity: Work at the intersection of complex disciplines (engineering, sales, manufacturing, marketing) and take full ownership to get the job done.\nAbout You:\nYou are a tinkerer and/or an ex-co-founder who thrives on complexity and doesn't wait for permission. You get results.\nProven 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.\nThe 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.\nBonus Skills: \nRobotics, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science degree, or related\nEntrepreneurial experience, such as founding your own business.\nMBA or experience in a consulting role\nFamiliarity with manufacturing, regulatory, or product standards and compliance in industries like healthcare, pharma, or life sciences.\nExperience with 3D printing technologies and materials.\nFamiliarity with Tableau or SQL.\nOur Benefits & Perks:\nRobust equity program to build future wealth through RSUs\nComprehensive healthcare coverage (Medical, Dental, Vision)\nLow-cost fund options in our 401K and access to advisors \nGenerous paid Parental Leave (up to 16 weeks)\nTenure-based paid Sabbatical Leave (up to 6 weeks)\nFlexible Out of Office Plan - Take time when you need it\nAmple on-site parking & pre-tax commuter benefits\nHealthy on-site lunches, snacks, beverages, & treats\nRegularly sponsored professional development opportunities\nMany opt-in culture events across our diverse community\nAnd of course… unlimited 3D prints\nWe are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status. \nEven if you don't check every box, but see yourself contributing, please apply. Help us build an inclusive community that will change the face of 3D printing.\nCompensation\nEvery Formlabs employee receives equity because everyone contributes to building the company. You’ll have the opportunity to share financially in the value we create together, with a shared incentive to build a business that succeeds over the long term. Equity will be a significant portion of your total compensation, and will increase over time in proportion to your impact. The base pay will be determined by your skills, qualifications, experience, location, and expected impact on the organization.\nThe annual base pay range for this role is:\n$120,000—$250,000 USD","description_format":"text","description_chars":5478,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"master","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["401k plan","Equity","Parental leave","Professional development"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["3D Printers & Additive Manufacturing"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-07T15:32:30Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 22 · green card filings: 6","filings_12m":22,"filings_prev_12m":14,"green_card_filings_12m":6,"median_offered_wage_usd":126429,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-15T11:24:14+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)","US Department of Labor: PERM disclosure data (green cards)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":62,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.624,"p_room":1,"age_days":8,"expected_fill_days":43,"reasons":["conf:1","stale_co","velocity","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-16T05:45:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":250000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/formlabs-startup-founder-2","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/formlabs-startup-founder-2.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-16T21:33:30Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":2598,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-17T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":6959},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=6959"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fformlabs-startup-founder-2"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fformlabs-startup-founder-2"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fformlabs-startup-founder-2"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/formlabs-startup-founder-2\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fformlabs-startup-founder-2"}]}
