Senior / Staff Software Engineer – 3D Medical Modeling - San Diego, CA

We’re working on something pretty unique at Carlsmed — building patient-specific spine surgery solutions using advanced 3D modeling and surgical planning tools.

This isn’t just another 3D viewer. You’d be helping build software that directly impacts real surgical outcomes.

What you’ll be working on

  • High-performance 3D applications using Babylon.js
  • Complex workflows around spine planning, implant design, and surgical simulation
  • Real-time interaction with large, detailed anatomical meshes
  • Precision-driven tooling where accuracy matters just as much as performance

The kind of problems you’ll solve

  • Making browser-based 3D feel fast, stable, and reliable at scale
  • Working with complex, real-world geometry (not clean demo assets)
  • Building intuitive tools for highly specialized users
  • Balancing performance, usability, and correctness in a medical environment

What we’re looking for

  • Strong JavaScript / TypeScript experience
  • Hands-on experience with Babylon.js (or similar real-time 3D engines)
  • Solid understanding of 3D math, rendering, and interaction design
  • Someone who enjoys solving hard problems and sweating the details

Why this is interesting

Carlsmed is focused on improving spine surgery outcomes through personalized solutions. The software you build doesn’t just visualize data, it plays a role in real procedures and real patient outcomes.

You’ll be working on a small, highly technical team tackling problems that go well beyond typical web graphics work.

If you enjoy pushing Babylon.js into serious, real-world applications, this is a great opportunity.
