If you’ve ever used SketchUp, you know it’s special software: 3D modeling that’s easy to learn, intuitive to use, and accessible to everyone. Try it out for free at app.sketchup.com

SketchUp’s built-in tools are incredibly powerful but one of our most important capabilities is extensibility through our plug-in architecture. External developers use our APIs to create SketchUp extensions that range from simple functionality additions to whole suites that tailor SketchUp to a particular industry’s workflow. Thousands of extensions are available today.

As a member of the engineering team focused on extensibility, you’ll specialize in our C API and Ruby API and will work with other engineers to extend and improve our APIs. We have a close relationship with our large community of extension developers, and you will have the opportunity to become a trusted leader in this community. We’re looking for someone with a passion for API development and a drive to empower these external developers to extend the capabilities of SketchUp.
