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?
