Senior Software Engineer, Modeling & Simulation
Help redefine how the DoD makes multi-billion-dollar force-design decisions. In this role, you'll fuse physics-driven simulation, interactive computing, and verified AI code-generation to create next-generation wargaming platforms. We’re seeking an experienced software developer who can own key parts of a larger extensible, cloud-distributed simulation environment, and inspire a small, high-conviction team by leading from the front.
What you’ll do
- Design & implement a scalable, interactive physics simulation that runs seamlessly in cloud and on-prem clusters.
- Own core functionality in modern C++ from multi-threaded performance tuning to continuous integration.
- Collaborate with product & AI teams to embed verified, AI-generated algorithms directly into a developer SDK for extending the platform.
- Prototype quickly, iterate faster: deliver usable capability to government end-users in weeks, not months.
- Set the engineering bar—write clean code, document rigorously, and mentor teammates through code reviews and pair programming.
Why Code Metal?
- Mission with impact: your work shapes the digital battlefield models that influence real-world acquisition.
- Velocity: small teams, rapid iteration cycles, and the mandate to ship.
- Ownership: no passengers, everyone pushes code that hits production.
