Synaps is building a new standard for architectural design with AI. Interoperability is a core part of the product, and we’re looking for an engineer who understands how complex file formats, data models, and conversions actually work. If you enjoy making systems talk to each other reliably, precisely and at scale, this is the right place.

Who we are

Synaps is the AI canvas for architectural design. We help architects, interior designers, developers, and contractors create precise & beautiful architectural drawings and visualizations and collaborate seamlessly with clients and teammates.

Think Figma × Lovable, built specifically for architecture.

Since our launch in November, Synaps has grown to over 15,000 users and is now one of the fastest-growing architectural design platforms on the market.

We’re a VC-backed team of smart, creative builders with backgrounds in architecture, research, and technology, focused on rethinking how architecture is created and shared.

What You’ll Work On

You’ll own the systems that allow Synaps to interoperate with the rest of the architectural ecosystem. The pipelines that import, convert, and export industry-standard file formats into and out of our core data model.

• Import and export pipelines for vector and CAD/BIM formats
• (DXF, DWG, PLN, SVG, RVT, and others)
• Format conversion logic between external file structures and Synaps’ internal data model
• Frontend and backend based conversion workflows, depending on constraints
• Integration with external APIs and conversion services
• Validation, error handling, and data integrity during conversion
• Performance and scalability of conversion pipelines
• Close collaboration with editor and infrastructure teams to ensure fidelity and correctness

Some conversions live in the frontend, some in backend. You will design and implement both where appropriate.

Our Stack

• TypeScript
• Node.js / Deno (backend runtimes)
• React (frontend integration)
• External conversion APIs and services
• Internal domain-specific data model for architectural geometry
• Cloud-based infrastructure (details evolve with scale)
  

What You Bring

• Strong experience as a fullstack or backend-leaning engineer
• Familiarity with file formats, parsers, serializers, or data transformation pipelines
• Experience working with Node.js, Deno, or similar runtimes
• Comfort reasoning about complex data models and format mappings
• Ability to decide where logic belongs (frontend vs backend) and why
• Attention to correctness, edge cases, and real-world messy data
• Pragmatic mindset: shipping reliable systems over perfect abstractions
  

Nice to Have

• Experience with CAD, BIM, or vector file formats (DXF, DWG, SVG, IFC, etc.)
• Familiarity with architectural or design software ecosystems
• Experience integrating third-party APIs for file processing
• Interest in interoperability and standards-heavy domains
  

How We Work

We’re a startup. You get real ownership, move fast, and build core systems that directly affect how users bring their existing work into Synaps and take it back out.

We’re building a small team of sharp, creative builders who want to be early at a generational company. We care deeply about craft, ship world-class products, and expect a high bar. If that resonates with you, this is the place.

Perks and Benefits

We offer best-in-class benefits:

• Competitive compensation
• Flexible, trust-based work setup
• Relocation + Visa Support
• Offsites that aren’t cringe
• Device of choice
• Five weeks of paid vacation
