This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Founding Software Engineer - New Product based in South Africa.
This is a founding engineering opportunity focused on taking an early real-time 3D product from prototype to a strong technical foundation. You will be the first and initially only engineer, working closely with product leadership and an established engineering team. The product is browser-native and designed to run across a broad range of devices, from school Chromebooks and Android phones to tablets and gaming PCs. You will shape the MVP, evaluate competing technologies, and make foundational architectural decisions. The role combines hands-on software development, rapid experimentation, product thinking, and technical leadership. As the product and team grow, the position can evolve into a broader technical leadership role.
