Senior​/Full-Stack Engineer, Simulation Platform

Position: Senior/Staff Full-Stack Engineer, Simulation Platform
Who we are

Gatik, the leader in autonomous middle-mile logistics, is revolutionizing the B2B supply chain with its autonomous transportation-as-a-service (ATaaS) solution and prioritizing safe, consistent deliveries while streamlining freight movement by reducing congestion. The company focuses on short-haul, B2B logistics for Fortune 500 retailers and in 2021 launched the world's first fully driverless commercial transportation service with Walmart. Gatik's Class 3-7 autonomous trucks are commercially deployed across major markets, including Texas, Arkansas, and Ontario, Canada, driving innovation in freight transportation.

The company's proprietary Level 4 autonomous technology, Gatik Carrier, is custom-built to transport freight safely and efficiently between pick-up and drop-off locations on the middle mile. With robust capabilities in both highway and urban environments, Gatik Carrier serves as an all-encompassing solution that integrates advanced software and hardware powering the fleet, facilitating effortless integration into customers' logistics operations.

About the role

We are seeking a high-caliber Full-Stack Engineer to lead the development of a web-based simulation platform. Our goal is to build a high-performance "Engineering Command Center". The platform will allow our engineering teams to run, visualize, and analyze complex simulations  will be responsible for building the bridge between heavy backend simulation data and a responsive, intuitive web interface. This is not a standard CRUD application;

it involves high-frequency data streaming, 3D rendering (WebGL), and complex data orchestration

This role is onsite 5 days/week in our Mountain View, CA office!

What you'll do

* Frontend Development:
Build a responsive, high-performance UI using React/Type Script. Implement 3D visualization components using Three.js or WebGL to render simulation environments and sensor data.

* Backend & API Design:
Architect scalable REST and Web Socket APIs to handle real-time telemetry and simulation control commands.

* Data Management:
Design and optimize Postgre

SQL schemas for simulation metadata and integrate time-series data storage for high-frequency logs.

* Observability Integration:
Set up and customize Grafana dashboards to monitor simulation health, resource usage, and performance metrics.

* Cloud Orchestration:
Work with Docker/Kubernetes to manage the lifecycle of simulation "workers" and ensure they can scale horizontally based on demand.

* Performance Tuning:
Optimize the browser rendering pipeline to ensure smooth 60fps playback of simulation data even under heavy load.

What we're looking for

* Languages:

Expert-level Type Script and Node.js (or Go/Python for backend).

* 3D Visualization:

Experience with Three.js, WebGL.

* Databases:
Proficiency in Postgre

SQL (complex queries, indexing) and Redis.

* Monitoring:
Deep experience with Grafana and Prometheus.

* Infrastructure:
Solid understanding of Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud providers (Azure).

* Data Protocols:

Experience with Web Sockets, Protobuf, or similar binary data formats.

Bonus Qualifications

* Familiarity with ROS / ROS2 (Robot Operating System).

* Experience building developer tools or engineering productivity software.

* Knowledge of Web Assembly (Wasm) for performance-critical client-side logic

Salary Range- $170,000- $240,000

More about Gatik

Founded in 2017 by experts in autonomous vehicle technology, Gatik has rapidly expanded its presence to Mountain View, Dallas-Fort Worth, Arkansas, and Toronto. As the first and only company to achieve fully driverless middle-mile commercial deliveries, Gatik holds a unique and defensible position in the AV industry, with a clear trajectory toward sustainable growth and profitability.

We have delivered complete, proprietary AV technology - an integration of software and hardware - to enable earlier successes for our clients in constrained Level 4 autonomy.  By choosing the middle mile - with defined point-to-point delivery, we have simplified some of the more complex AV challenges, enabling us to achieve full autonomy ahead of competitors. Given extensive knowledge of Gatik's well-defined, fixed route…
