As a General Matter Software Engineer, you will develop performant, safe and high-quality software to directly control our systems. Your code will be responsible for commanding actuators and processing high-speed signals in applications where safety and accuracy are exceedingly important. You will work closely with cross-functional teams, including electrical engineers, software engineers, chemical engineers, manufacturing engineers, nuclear engineers, materials scientists and physicists. If you seek high-impact and are excited by fast-paced, intense, Skunkworks-style projects, we encourage you to reach out to join our team.

We're hiring engineers across three focus areas:

Backend engineers will build high-performance services and APIs that coordinate control systems, manage state across distributed hardware, and expose interfaces for monitoring and operations.

Distributed systems engineers will architect fault-tolerant coordination systems, real-time data pipelines processing high-throughput sensor telemetry, and the infrastructure that keeps critical systems running reliably at scale.

Tooling engineers will develop the developer platforms, CI/CD systems, observability tools, and deployment infrastructure that let our team iterate rapidly and safely in a production environment where mistakes have physical consequences.

Design and implement high-performance, production-grade software systems in C++ and Python, with a strong focus on reliability and maintainability

Architect complex solutions from the ground up, making principled decisions around system design, performance trade-offs, and technology selection

Lead technical design reviews and code reviews, setting and enforcing engineering best practices across the team

Build and maintain automated testing and CI/CD pipelines to ensure software quality at scale

Mentor junior and mid-level engineers while driving independent progress on complex, ambiguous technical problems
