Founding Software Engineer at Made

Help rethink the $1.7T fashion industry by building the 'operating system for apparel.' This pre-seed startup is replacing outdated, wasteful supply chains with an AI-driven platform that connects generative design directly to on-demand micro-factories. As a Founding Software Engineer, you will own the technical architecture and transform a proven prototype into a scalable global platform. We’re looking for a full-stack builder with 2-6 years of experience who is ready to tackle the intersection of software and physical manufacturing. With 0.5–1.5% equity and a mission to solve a major climate problem, this is a unique opportunity to join at the absolute ground floor.

About this role

Role overview

As a Founding Software Engineer, you will transition a proven prototype into a scalable MVP, architecting the core platform for a $1.7T industry. You'll build the technical foundation connecting generative design, 3D tooling, and a micro-factory network, directly influencing the product vision and engineering culture of a climate-conscious fashion tech leader.

About the company

Design-to-production automation for the fashion industry.

What you'll do

What you will do

  • Architect and build the core full-stack platform, evolving a working demo into a robust, production-ready MVP for brands and creators.
  • Develop sophisticated workflows integrating generative design, 3D creative tooling, and automated production pipelines for on-demand garment manufacturing.
  • Collaborate directly with the founding team to prioritize features, define the technical roadmap, and establish engineering standards from day one.

Who you are

Who this is a fit for

  • You have 2–6 years of professional full-stack experience building and scaling production systems using modern backend APIs and distributed cloud architectures.
  • You possess a strong appetite for generative AI and computational design, ideally with exposure to WebGL, 3D modeling, or spatial computing environments.
  • You are a high-autonomy builder who thrives in ambiguity, capable of owning features end-to-end and translating high-level vision into elegant, maintainable code.

Why this role

Why this role is remarkable

  • Join as a founding engineer with 0.5–1.5% equity to solve a massive $1.7T industrial inefficiency problem responsible for 10% of global emissions.
  • Work at the cutting edge where software meets atoms, integrating generative AI with real-world manufacturing and a distributed micro-factory network.
  • Enjoy high technical autonomy and a direct seat at the table with founders who have deep experience in fashion tech and sustainable manufacturing.
