Software Engineer - Simulation Backend

About the role

As a Simulation Backend Engineer, you'll design, build, and optimize the systems that power our distributed simulation workloads. You will work on everything from data pipelines and orchestration to cloud-based storage and microservice infrastructure. You'll play a pivotal role in enabling our simulation engineers and researchers to run massive experiments with high efficiency and reliability.

What you'll do

• Architecting and implementing backend services for managing and orchestrating simulation jobs at scale.
• Designing efficient data storage and retrieval pipelines using systems like S3, Postgres, and Redis.
• Building and maintaining distributed messaging systems with Kafka for robust event-driven pipelines.
• Defining infrastructure as code using Terraform to automate deployment and scaling in AWS clusters.
• Collaborating with simulation engineers and infrastructure teams to ensure robust integration and performance.

What you'll need

• 3+ years of experience building backend services in production environments.
• Proficiency in at least one of the following languages: Python (preferred), Java, or Go.
• Deep understanding of cloud-native architecture and distributed systems.
• Hands-on experience with key technologies such as AWS (S3, EKS), Redis, Kafka, Postgres, and Terraform.
• Experience with containerization and orchestration (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes).
