Head of Software

• Lumafield’s scanners produce the data. Voyager is where that data becomes a decision - with nothing but a web browser, anyone can visualize, analyze, and share industrial CT data globally
• We’re hiring a Head of Software to own Voyager end-to-end: the software development teams building it and the platform engineering group running the cloud and edge compute underneath. You’ll inherit a high-performance team in San Francisco and be tasked with continuously raising the bar. As Lumafield grows, you’ll play a critical role with shaping the org to follow: lead the leaders, own high-stake decisions, and carry on a culture that never settles
• This is a hands-on leadership role at a company obsessed with finding the right solution for its customers. You set the bar, scale the team as the company grows, and drive solutions to our hardest problems
• Align technical direction with business objectives and own the outcome: when to take the big bet, what to focus on when, and how the roadmap distills into priority calls
• Drive the technical developments that solve our customers’ hardest problems, from architecture through release
• Scale and lead the Platform Engineering function - CI/CD, observability, edge compute, and the cloud cost curve
• Hire and develop the leadership layer under you
• Set the operating cadence and hold the team to commitment dates that engineering, product, and sales can plan against
• Own the software side of Lumafield’s security and compliance posture: SBOM, vulnerability response, customer security reviews, and compliance controls

• You have real depth in cloud infrastructure and DevOps - deep enough to review a platform design, reject a bad one, and explain the company-level tradeoff behind the call
• You define what done means, you unblock the team, and you are well versed in Radical Candor
• You’ve owned a production SaaS platform end to end: uptime, on-call, release engineering, and the infrastructure bill. You know what your cloud spend is and why
• You’ve led multi-level software engineering organizations at a startup, including managing managers, and you’ve done it through at least one phase change in company size or product maturity
• Do you feel like your skills don’t meet every single requirement listed? We encourage you to apply anyway – If you’re excited about our technology, the opportunity, and are eager to learn more we’d love to hear from you!

• A background in 3D data, imaging, visualization, or metrology software — voxels, meshes, large-file pipelines, GPU rendering in the browser
