We are constantly looking for like-minded talent eager to take ownership and drive innovation within our expanding suite of tools. Join us in shaping the future of home design.

We are looking for a Lead Android Developer who will take personal responsibility for every new feature inside the P5D product. This is a role for someone who still enjoys writing code and wants to have real influence on the product. You will work on complex parts like graphic engine, multiplayer technology and Ai, including: Design Generator for image-to-image creation, Plan Upload to convert files into projects, AI Designer for styling and furniture layout, and Bernard AI - an LLM that answers questions, gives advice, and controls the AI Designer.

We care a lot about quality - clean code, strong engineering standards, and decisions that drive the market. We keep things simple - no extra layers of approval when good judgment is enough. Our engineering team has real power to suggest better tech solutions and influence product. That freedom comes with real responsibility because your decisions will have a tangible impact in a product used by 100M+ users. We love to learn: we dive into challenges and give 100%. Every tough task is just a way to find a better solution and get better at what we do. You will be surrounded by strong engineers with high standards. It is a demanding environment, but also one where good work is respected and where you can work on really interesting technical challenges - including the Editor, 3D engine, geometry, and rendering.
