About Backflip
Backflip (backflip.ai) is a generative AI startup revolutionizing how engineers and designers create for the physical world. Founded by the team behind Markforged, we're building AI-first tools that make 3D CAD as intuitive and fast as sketching on paper. Backed by a16z and NEA, we’ve raised a $30M Series A and built a deeply technical, mission-driven team of 15. Our goal: empower one engineer to work at the speed of a hundred.
The Role
We’re always looking for exceptional people—across product, design, engineering, marketing, operations, growth, and more—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.
