Job Description

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.

Bonus points

Master’s (or equivalent experience) in applied math, scientific computing, physics, or similar.
GPU compute chops—OpenCL, CUDA, or both.
Prior work running physics simulations in distributed cloud environments.
TS/SCI clearance.

Benefits

Health care plan with 100% premium coverage, including medical, dental, and vision.
