The Role
Your role, first and foremost, is to help our customers solve their most important problems. As a Senior Forward Deployed Software Engineer, this takes the form of building and deploying applications that utilize the power of our physics AI models to enable our customers to build better, faster, and cheaper.
As a member of the delivery team, you’ll work directly with customers, data scientists, and machine learning engineers to develop applications that change the way advanced engineering is done. We’re looking for someone who can grasp advanced engineering concepts across multiple industries, fundamentally understand the problems that engineers face, and build tools to solve these problems.
You'll also have the opportunity to travel to customer sites in North America, Europe, Asia, Oceania, for an average of 3-4 weeks per quarter, where you'll collaborate closely with customers to build solutions on-site.

Please note that any offer for employment may be conditioned on authorization to receive software or technology controlled under these U.S. export control laws and regulations without sponsorship for an export license.
Who We're Looking For
Technical ability: We work across a wide range of engineering disciplines, all of which are high complexity. Someone with a track record of solving hard problems is a must, a background in Mechanical Engineering or similar is a plus. This role deals with breadth across the full stack, having a solid foundation in software engineering, API design, and deploying applications to production is desired.
Proactivity & high ownership: You’ll be responsible for driving impact for our customers, whatever that might look like. We're looking for someone who is a go-getter and is naturally inclined to find problems and solve them end-to-end. You own the responsibility to get things done and will pick up the skills and experience needed to solve novel problems quickly.
