Revaly — Alpha Demonstration

🚀 About the Product

Anyone who has worked with 3D Models — Video Game Designers, CAD Engineers, or Architects — knows it's very hard to communicate effectively about 3D information. Revaly is changing that by providing a rich, accessible, web-based, real-time 3D Collaboration platform. We believe that an efficient 3D Design Review can only happen if all the stakeholders can easily participate, without unnecessary technical hurdles, as if they were in the same physical space. Right now, we're laser focused on creating the best 3D Design Review tool in the world from first principles, and our early customers are thrilled with the clean, focused interface we've given them so far. But we're in Beta, and we're just getting started — which is where you come in.

👩‍🚀 About the Role

📍 Locations: Remote (Within US), or In-Office (South Carolina)

As a Full-Stack Engineer, you will breathe life into our systems. You'll work closely alongside our existing Development and Design teams to dream up and implement UX improvements on the frontend, and DX improvements on the backend — becoming responsible for the lifecycle of features, from conception to implementation. We'll pull from your years of technical experience to help us improve our technical processes, and we'll pull from your years of human experience to help us improve our UX. As an early-stage Engineer on the Revaly Product Team, you'll have input on the design of our products and systems, and you'll be close to company-making decisions. You'll be working with high caliber talent just like yourself, and you'll get things done.

What You'll Achieve:

• You'll work with others to build new product features from start to finish: through conception, research, implementation, and maintenance. For example, you might build a tool that helps view “git diffs” between different versions of a 3D Model.
• You'll help improve performance and reliability, or polish existing features. For example, you might identify changes to our UX to make it easier to upload a 3D Model — or you may work on the GLSL shaders to improve the way our 3D Models look.
• You'll build internal tools to support simplicity and productivity for the whole team. This might include writing a script to ping our Slack Channel whenever a particularly high number of users are on Revaly.

Skills You'll Need to Bring:

• Passionate and Pragmatic: You deeply care about making a positive impact with the work you produce. You have “strong ideas and opinions, but held loosely” — you understand the business impact of what you're building, and you prioritize projects accordingly. You're not just going after cool stuff—you understand the balance between craft, speed, and the bottom line.
• Thoughtful problem-solving: For you, problem-solving starts with a clear and accurate understanding of the context. You can decompose tricky problems and work towards a clean solution, by yourself or with teammates. You're comfortable asking for help when you get stuck.
• Deep Understanding: You understand the theory of computer science, and how to put it into practice in both the client and server side of a robust application. You have advanced knowledge spanning both the backend and the frontend, in AT LEAST SOME topics like: Data Structures and Algorithms, Frontend State Management, Database Design, Computer Graphics, or Distributed Systems
• Shipping quality user interfaces: You can work with others to build and maintain quality user interfaces for a big audience, using Web technologies like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and a modern UI framework like React. If you've experienced the technical challenges of rapid growth, that's a plus.
• Deep Frontend & Backend Knowledge: You understand how parts of a system fit together—from the user interface to the data model. Ideal candidates should be familiar with React, and frontend state-management tools like Redux. They should be deeply familiar with relational database systems like Postgres or MySQL. They should also be comfortable with Docker & Kubernetes.
• Put users first: You think critically about the implications of what you're building, and how it shapes real people's lives. You understand that reach comes with responsibility for our impact—good and bad.
• Not ideological about technology: To you, technologies and programming languages are about tradeoffs. You may be opinionated, but you're not ideological and can learn new technologies as you go.
• Empathetic communication: You communicate nuanced ideas clearly, whether you're explaining technical decisions in writing or brainstorming in real time. In disagreements, you engage thoughtfully with other perspectives and compromise when needed.
• Team Player: You understand when work is better, together. You enjoy collaborating cross-functionally to accomplish shared goals, and you care about learning, growing, and helping others to do the same.
• Can Lead, and Be Led: You are an expert; but you’re not an expert in everything. Even when you’re operating as a domain expert, you’re open to critique and are accepting of real change to your opinions — no matter how long they have been held. People trust you implicitly when they know you’re in your wheelhouse, because it’s obvious you know what you’re talking about. When you’re not an expert in something, you know it, and you can be led by those who are.
