About the job Software Engineer
Software Engineer
We are looking for a Software Engineer to join us in pushing the boundaries of Silicon Photonics. If you are a fresh graduate with a flexible mindset and a hunger for learning—someone who hasn't "settled" into a single programming language or a rigid workflow—your place is with us. We seek individuals who are excited by the intersection of software and physics, who love solving complex problems and aren't afraid to dive into new technologies from scratch, regardless of the task or tool. While a deep affinity for physics and optics is a significant advantage, what we value most is the spark in your eyes and the ability to innovate and grow within a pioneering technological environment.
Company Overview
The Company is an innovative growth company in the field of silicon photonics, solving a major obstacle for the next-generation data center for co-packaged switches.
Job Overview
Engaging & Growth-Oriented
Ready to shape the future of Silicon Photonics from the ground up? We are looking for a fresh, adaptable Software Engineer to join our R&D team in Jerusalem. We arent looking for someone set in their ways; we want a dynamic professional who thrives on rapid learning and evolution. If you are a natural problem-solver with a deep passion for technology and a language-agnostic mindset—meaning you care more about solving the puzzle than which specific tool you use—you will fit right in. While your coding skills are key, a strong background or a deep interest in the fields of Physics and Optics will give you a significant advantage as we revolutionize next-generation data centers. If you are a self-starter who loves to learn and is ready to flourish in a high-impact startup environment, we want to hear from you.
