## Job description

## About CoLab

At CoLab, we help mechanical engineering teams bring life-changing products to market years sooner.

We build AI for engineers designing cars, medical devices, and jet engines. Products this complex aren't sketched and sent to production. Teams spend months on iterations, reviews, and tests, predicting how every part performs before anything is built. CoLab is where those reviews happen, and we capture the rationale behind every change. Other tools show what changed between versions. Only CoLab knows why. That's how our AI helps manufacturers like Bobcat, Triumph Motorcycles, and GE Appliances make better decisions, eliminate rework cycles, and get to market faster.

Proudly based in St. John’s, Newfoundland, CoLab started with one customer in 2018. Since then we’ve raised a[$72M Series C](https://financialpost.com/pmn/business-wire-news-releases-pmn/ai-is-changing-engineering-colab-just-raised-72m-to-lead-the-transformation), been named the 57th fastest growing company in North America by Deloitte ([Fast 500™](https://financialpost.com/pmn/business-wire-news-releases-pmn/colab-ranked-number-57-fastest-growing-company-in-north-america-on-the-2025-deloitte-technology-fast-500)), signed multi-year[AI partnerships with companies like Bombardier](https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/article-bombardier-signs-contract-colab-ai-software/), and grown to a team of 250+.

About the Role:

Mechanical engineering teams rely on a complex ecosystem of CAD, PLM, and enterprise systems to design, review, and manufacture products. At CoLab, we're building software that fits naturally into those workflows.

As a Senior Full Stack Developer, you'll play a key role in making that possible. You'll build the integrations and platform capabilities that connect CoLab with the systems our customers use every day, helping engineering organizations review designs faster, collaborate more effectively, and make better decisions throughout the Mechanical Engineering Lifecycle.

This role is a great fit for someone who enjoys solving technically challenging integration problems. Ideally you’ve spent your career building web applications and focused within heavy integrations.

You'll work closely with Product, Design, Customer Success, and fellow engineers to translate real customer challenges into scalable software. One week you might be improving how CoLab integrates with a CAD application. The next, you could be investigating a complex customer workflow spanning PLM, ERP, and engineering data to eliminate friction for thousands of engineers.

Job Responsibilities

- Understand complex customer problems and requirements and work in a team to build a solution that adds value for the customer and the product as a whole
- Collaborate with other team members to design and plan complex scopes of work from product requirements and UI/UX designs
- Develop, test, and ship critical user-facing features on a regular basis
- Develop, test, and maintain robust and scalable APIs.
- Participate in code reviews and help your team deliver high-quality software
- Champion all aspects of the user’s experience, with a focus on clarity and speed
- Contribute to tech technology direction and best practices
- Mentor, support, and be an information source to junior developers

## Qualifications

- 8+ years of professional, hands-on development experience
- Experience working on SaaS, large-scale distributed systems
- Consistent track record of building and maintaining highly scalable products
- Proficient with Java and / or C#
- Experience with version control, release management, and CI/CD workflows
- Exposure to Javascript/Typescript, Python, HTML and CSS is considered an asset
- Experience with front-end build, package-management & testing tools such as Webpack, NPM, Jest, Cypress, etc
- Experience writing robust automated tests, including unit and integration tests using Jest, as well as end-to-end (E2E) tests using Cypress or Playwright.
- Hands-on experience with relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL), NoSQL databases (e.g.: DynamoDB) and querying frameworks/APIs.
- Experience with Git workflow (pull requests, code reviews)
- Passion for working in teams with emphasis on respect and continuous improvement
- Willingness to raise your hand when you see something could be done / built better

Extra Details

- Compensation: This is a full-time, permanent position with an attractive compensation package that includes a stock options package.
- Benefits: This role offers an extended health and benefits package that includes unlimited paid vacation and RRSP matching.
- Remote/Hybrid Work: Our main office location is in St. John’s, NL where we offer hybrid and remote opportunities. This role has the flexibility to work from anywhere within Canada.

## About CoLab Software

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Engineering design collaboration software (CAD/PLM)
- **Target customers**: B2B, enterprise – mechanical engineering teams at hardware manufacturers (e.g., automotive, industrial equipment, medical devices)
- **Mission statement**: “To help engineering teams deliver life-changing products to the world years sooner.”

## Products & Services
- **[CoLab Platform (Design Engagement System)]**: A cloud-based workspace for virtual design reviews, where engineers can annotate 2D/3D models in real time, track feedback, and automatically capture knowledge.
- **[AutoReview (AI Peer Checker)]**: An AI agent that marks up drawings and 3D models against company design standards, lessons learned, and industry best practices before human review.
- **[AI Lessons Learned Agent]**: An AI that surfaces relevant past design decisions and similar designs during reviews, automating the traditional lessons-learned process.
- **Integrations**: Connects with major PLM systems (Windchill, Teamcenter, 3DXPERIENCE) and accepts 30+ CAD file types for browser-based review.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed
- **Key Metrics**: Annual Revenue ~$22.5M (2025); Total Funding $115.6M (as of Series C, Nov 2025)

## Competitive Advantages
- **AI trained on proprietary company knowledge**: AutoReview and the Lessons Learned agent use an organization’s own design standards and past review data, making the AI highly specific to each customer’s engineering practices.
- **Knowledge capture as a byproduct**: Feedback from reviews is automatically structured into a searchable database, eliminating extra documentation steps.
- **Browser-based CAD review**: No special software or training needed for stakeholders to explore 3D models and add feedback.
- **Strong PLM/CAD integrations**: Deep connections with industry-standard tools reduce friction for enterprise adoption.
