Senior Scientific Software & Developer Platform Engineer

Kairospower; United States; Sur place; USD 140 000 - 200 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

Kairos Power is seeking a Senior Scientific Software and Developer Platform Engineer to join a small software and infrastructure team that supports design, research, and development. This is a hands-on role building the software, tooling, and delivery systems used by nuclear engineers and computational scientists.

You will work across Python and C++ development, computational modeling, build and packaging systems, reproducible artifact delivery, CI/CD, containerization, software QA, and HPC

Qualifications

• Experience designing and implementing scientific software in Python and C++.
• Experience with HPC workflows, including Slurm, MPI, and GPU computing.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and automated testing.
• Ability to mentor and establish maintainable design standards.
• Experience with containerized environments and reproducible builds.

Responsabilités

• Design, implement, test, and maintain scientific and engineering software in Python and C++, including computational modeling methods and numerical algorithms.
• Own software architecture for internally developed engineering tools, choosing data structures, interfaces, and algorithms to match the actual problem.
• Profile and optimize performance where a measurable requirement justifies the work, and document the results.
• Collaborate with nuclear and other engineers to define software projects based on their needs for tools supporting the company’s mission.
• Build, packaging, and artifact delivery; own CI/CD for internally developed software using GitHub Actions or comparable systems.
• Build reproducible build and packaging pipelines for Python packages, Conda environments, and C++ binaries and libraries, including compiler and dependency management.
• Own artifact publication and versioning, so users can reproduce it later.
• Diagnose and resolve compilation, dependency, environment, and runtime problems across the software stack.
• Establish and maintain container build and runtime patterns for Docker and Apptainer, and manage base image currency and upgrade paths.
• Software QA and controlled delivery; define artifacts and gates and automate compliance in the delivery pipeline.
• Support software quality audits with tooling-generated evidence.
• Develop HPC user workflows with Slurm, Open OnDemand, MPI, and GPU computing; improve day-to-day experience for engineers and scientists.
• Build self-service workflows and documented paths so users solve problems without submitting a request.
