About the role

As a Senior Software Engineer on the Simulation Orchestration team, you will own the compute platform that powers Applied Intuition’s autonomy products. You will design and operate a multi‑environment system that schedules workloads, allocates resources, and manages node lifecycles for millions of simulations.

Key responsibilities

• Develop a compute platform that supports workload scheduling, resource allocation, and node lifecycle across diverse environments.
• Collaborate with customers and internal teams to translate compute requirements into platform features.
• Address distributed‑systems challenges such as GPU scheduling, autoscaling, and resource efficiency.
• Ensure high reliability, scalability, and performance of production simulation systems.
• Drive architecture decisions to expand the orchestration platform company‑wide.

Required profile

• 5+ years of backend engineering experience with production distributed systems.
• 4+ years of coding in Golang, Python, Java, or C++.
• 4+ years building complex backend systems on major cloud providers.
• Deep expertise in Kubernetes, including pod scheduling, node lifecycle, and autoscaling under load.
• Experience building or operating workload‑scheduling systems (dispatch, bin‑packing, quota enforcement).
• Self‑starter who can drive a production system from concept to launch.
