About Backflip
Mechanical design, the work done in CAD, is the rate-limiter for progress in the physical world. However, there are only 2-4 million people on Earth who know how to CAD. But what if hundreds of millions could? What if creating something in the real world were as easy as imagining the use case, or sketching it on paper?
Backflip is building a foundation model for mechanical design: unifying the world’s scattered engineering knowledge into an intelligent, end-to-end design environment. Our goal is to enable anyone to imagine a solution and hit “print.”
Founded by a second-time CEO in the same space (first company: Markforged, exited for $2.1B), Backflip combines deep industry insight with breakthrough AI research. With investor Ashish Vaswani (transformer inventor), and backed by a16z and NEA, we raised a $30M Series A and built a deeply technical, mission-driven team.
The Role
We’re always looking for exceptional people who are passionate about our mission and want to shape the future of 3D design. Even if we don’t have the right role open today, we encourage you to apply so we can keep you in mind for future opportunities.
What We’re Looking For
A track record of delivering results in fast-paced, high-ownership environments.
Passion for building products that empower creativity and transform workflows.
Strong communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills.
Comfort working in an in-person, startup environment with shifting priorities.
Why Backflip
Repeat founders in 3D printing/CAD with a prior $2.1B exit.
Backed by a16z and NEA; small, senior team with outsized impact.
The chance to shape a category-defining product from the earliest stages.
