What this job asks for AI summary
A backend engineering role focused on integrating commercial CAD platforms — including Siemens NX, CATIA, SOLIDWORKS, and Creo — with cloud-native AI services. The work involves building Python-based APIs and services that translate CAD models into machine-readable data, automate engineering workflows, and manage assemblies and metadata. Suited to engineers with hands-on experience in both backend development and commercial CAD APIs.

Why we read it this way (9)
The degree requirement states 'BS/MS in Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field' with no 'or equivalent experience' escape clause — treated as a hard Bachelors minimum.
CAD API integration is listed as a hard gate: the JD requires experience with at least one of Siemens NX Open, CATIA, SOLIDWORKS API, Creo Toolkit, or Autodesk Inventor API. These are captured as alternatives on a single skill since any one satisfies the requirement.
Protobuf is explicitly called out in the requirements section ('data models including Protobuf'), making it a hard gate despite being a specific serialization format.
'Cloud-native applications, backend APIs, and data models' is a single compound requirement in the required section; cloud-native development is the technology-agnostic gate here — specific platforms (GCP, Docker, Kubernetes) appear only under Bonus Points.
C++, gRPC, Docker, GCP, PostgreSQL, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions, TypeScript, Next.js, React, PLM systems, and observability/monitoring all appear either under 'Bonus Points' or in the 'Our tech stack' narrative section — none are hard gates.
No compensation figures are stated in the posting.
The title carries no seniority level word; the title states no level. The 5+ years requirement and scope (production backend systems, cloud-native architecture, CAD platform integration) support a Senior classification.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): cloud-native development.
