This Opportunity
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.
As a member of the engineering team focused on SketchUp Pro, you’ll be working to both refine and re-imagine how we deliver cutting edge 3D software on Windows and Mac, helping people everywhere express and communicate their ideas. We’re looking for someone who is highly skilled, motivated, collaborative -- and pretty low-key about it all.
