Job Description
About the Team
The Simulation Scalability team builds the core systems, frameworks, and workflows that ensure simulation runs reliably, efficiently, and at scale. We work across all simulation products and pipelines, addressing systemic issues, improving release quality, and strengthening the foundations that enable teams to iterate quickly and confidently.
Our work spanssystems architecture, software engineering, release management, and quality strategy, with a mission to increase reliability, throughput, and operational excellence across the entire simulation ecosystem.
WhatYou’llDo
Release Management & Quality Strategy
Lead improvements to the end‑to‑end simulation release process, ensuring it is predictable, well‑defined, and continuously improving.
Define and drive the simulation-widequality and test strategy,including shift‑left testing, automated validation, and early‑signal integration.
Strengthen release readiness criteria, quality gates, and verification workflows across multiple simulation teams.
Partner with product teams to reduce regressions, shorten validation cycles, and ensure higher-confidence releases.
Scalability, Reliability & Stability
Improve the performance, stability, and reliability of simulation frameworks and core tooling used at scale.
Identifysystemic bottlenecks in the simulation stack and deliver architectural improvements that increase throughput and reduce operational friction.
Enhance simulation exit codes, errorattribution, and debugging workflows to improve diagnosability and reduce wasted compute.
Operational Excellence
Establish and enforcebest practices forsimulationincident management,improving resilience, recovery time, and overall operational readiness.
Improve signals, metrics, and monitoring patterns that help teamsidentifyrelease-related issues earlier and more accurately.
Cross-Functional Leadership
Collaborate closely withsimulationfeature teams, infrastructure groups, and platform stakeholders to align on scaling needs, test coverage gaps, and systemic quality improvements.
Work backward from organizational-level problems to design solutions that raise simulation quality and reliability across all workflows.
Who You Are
We’relooking for engineers with depth in at least one of the following areas, and interest in growing across the rest:
1. Release Engineering & Quality Strategy
Experience improving release workflows, verification processes, or quality gates.
Ability to spot gaps in test coverage,validationworkflows, or release signals and drive systemic improvements.
2. Systems & Solutions Architecture
Ability to analyze complex simulation or compute workflows and design scalable, maintainable solutions.
Skilled atidentifyingrecurring failure patterns andeliminatingsystemic causes.
3. Software Development
Strong coding fundamentals with experience building production-quality services, frameworks, or tools.
Background improving reliability, performance, or developer experience in distributed systems.
We welcome candidates who bring strongexpertisein one area and are eager to expand into the others.
