Job description

Build and evolve scalable data platforms and interfaces that integrate heterogeneous system data, simulation outputs, AI model inputs/outputs, and application workflows.
Design and implement agentic orchestration frameworks to support modeling, prediction, and coordination across complex computing systems.
Develop synthetic data generation pipelines and supporting infrastructure for training, validation, and evaluation of AI-driven models.
Implement robust data pipelines, storage systems, and APIs to support high-throughput, low-latency workloads across simulation and real-time environments.
Collaborate closely with research and engineering teams to translate domain-specific models and system signals into performant, reliable systems.

Requirements

BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Engineering, Physics, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
10+ years of experience building and operating production-grade software systems, with strong fundamentals in data engineering and distributed systems.
Working knowledge of quantum computing concepts and the ability to collaborate effectively with domain experts.
Hands-on experience with backend and data technologies (e.g., Python, C++, Go, APIs, distributed services, and modern data platforms).
Strong software engineering practices across testing, CI/CD, observability, and performance optimization.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

Experience building simulation or modeling platforms in scientific computing, physics, or hardware-software environments.
Experience developing synthetic data pipelines or supporting AI/ML workflows at scale.
Familiarity with agentic systems, orchestration frameworks, or AI-driven automation.
Deeper exposure to quantum computing concepts, including hardware, control systems, or performance modeling.
Experience with GPU acceleration, CUDA, or high-performance computing for large-scale workloads.
