Who we are

Pabio is a fast-growing, ambitious startup from Switzerland and the United States. We want to disrupt the furniture industry and change how people live by offering a better, more sustainable, and more affordable alternative to traditional furniture retail. With Pabio, consumers get their apartment fully-furnished by a professional interior designer and rent high-quality furniture on a monthly subscription. Once they move out, Pabio takes all the furniture back, renovates it, and the cycle repeats.

Pabio is one of the first Swiss startups ever to receive funding from Y Combinator – the most prestigious startup accelerator in the world. We raised money from a range of investors from both Silicon Valley and Europe. We're not coy about that fact that we dare to think big — join us and become part of something special.

What we're looking for

A core part of Pabio's value offering is a photorealistic rendered view of the user's apartment. Instead of a traditional e-commerce UI, we offer a catalog-experience where an automatically generated 3D apartment is presented to users. To further develop our core tech we are looking for a Senior 3D Software Developer / Technical Director with a strong background in Blender and 3D architecture. This role requires expertise both as a 3D artist and a programmer. As our 3D Technical Director, you'll be working directly with (not for!) the founders Carlo and Anand, and play an important role in moving the company forward.

Responsibilities

Contribute to the development of each step in our 3D rendering pipeline.
Develop scripts for automated generation of Blender file templates.
Develop custom Blender add-ons and plugins for automating common tasks.
Generate photorealistic apartment renders and design 3D product models.
Be responsible for giving feedback to others to help improve their performance (and be receptive to receiving feedback from others).

Requirements

Solid technical understanding of 3D rendering workflows and pipelines.
Strong mathematical understanding of computer graphics.
Highly skilled in Blender (both modeling and rendering).
Proficiency in Python and Blender scripting.
Experience with building Blender add-ons.
Have an insane work ethic. You work tirelessly to ship the best product possible.

Nice to have

Experience with other 3D modeling and rendering software (e.g., 3DS Max, Maya, Cinema 4D, etc.).
Experience with web-based 3D graphics (e.g., WebGL, three.js, Babylon.js, D3.js, etc.).

Why work at Pabio?

Team — You'll work mostly with cool people (not all of us are cool, but the majority are).
Competitive salary and equity — Directly participate in Pabio's success.
100% remote — Work wherever and whenever you want.
Gadgets — Whatever you need to get things done.
Learning budget — Buy courses and attend conferences.
GitHub Sponsors — Fund your favorite open-source projects.

Engineering at Pabio

Pabio is a tech company at heart. Our in-house rendering engine generates photorealistic interior design concepts is built using custom Blender plugins and we use full-stack TypeScript (Next.js + NestJS) on the web, along with keeping up with the latest in the ecosystem (e.g., experiments with Svelte and Deno). We also contribute to open-source (e.g., Upptime with 8.5k+ stars), and co-founder Anand is a GitHub Star. You'll be joining as one of the earliest engineering hires and will help us make Pabio a household name.
