💼 We’re hiring: Project Engineer

Fractory is transforming how manufacturing gets done — we run the full service from quoting to manufacturing and delivery, and take responsibility for every step. You’re used to ordering almost anything online in a couple of minutes; we’re making manufacturing procurement work the same way, without waiting days for quotes.
