Job description

Overview

Sedaro is hiring a Senior Software Engineer to strengthen the performance and reliability of our distributed
multi-physics simulation platform. In this role, you will contribute to the development of our simulation runtimes and leverage the cloud for cutting-edge performance and scale.

• Team: Simulator, reporting to the Team Lead
• Location: In person in Arlington, VA or Boston, MA
• U.S. Citizen or permanent resident status required

Who We Are

Our simulation platform enables digital mission engineering through distributed, scalable, faster than real-time analyses across hundreds of interacting systems. We achieve this by ingesting simulation functions, models, and data, and generating high-performance code and architecture specialized for the given scenario. We maintain runtimes for both massively parallel execution in the cloud as well as execution in resource-constrained environments such as autonomous edge devices. Our technology is built with Rust, Kubernetes, gRPC, and Python. Join us as an early employee and transform how teams collaboratively engineer the next generation of Aerospace & Defense systems.
