Adam (YC W25) Is Hiring to Build the Future of CAD

Summary

We’re building the founding engineering team at Adam. At Adam, we’re tackling a frontier problem: building a new way to interface with CAD via AI. This demands creativity, deep technical ability, and novel thinking. As part of the founding engineering team you may: Sprint for two weeks to build a new product vertical from scratch Develop new interfaces for AI-driven CAD workflows Design, implement, test, and deploy full features Work with our product team to ensure a fast, consistent, and beautiful experience across the application We are looking for people who: Blend excellent engineering with a taste for models and design Have previously built a great product Operate with high agency and own problems end-to-end At Adam, you will be given the autonomy to do some of the best work of your life and redefine how the physical world is built. Adam is an applied research and product lab building the future of computer-aided design, where engineers will be able to speak physical objects into existence. With Adam, you’ll use AI to complete design tasks end-to-end. For example, select a face and say, “Add mounting holes matching the bolt pattern from the other part, with identical diameters, spacing, and offsets,” and Adam handles the geometry, selects standard hardware, and outputs production-ready CAD. We just wrapped up YC’s W25 batch, built a state-of-the-art text-to-CAD interface, and had one of the most viral YC launches of all time. Our first product made CAD approachable and fun with AI, bringing tens of thousands of people into 3D printing. Now we’re enhancing the capabilities of engineers to create feature-rich models compatible with industry-standard software. We’re a small technical team of engineers, designers, and researchers who love CAD and building things. Our founders are UC Berkeley alumni, second-time founders, and early employees at major AI startups. We're in-person at the Adam House in the SF Marina, powered by green tea, lots of natural light, and a w...
