Join us in powering a better world with inertial fusion!

This is a full-time, onsite role based at our headquarters in Denver, CO.

As a Senior Scientific Software Engineer , you lead the design and development of software systems that support scientific analysis, visualization, machine learning, and internal applications.

You will be part of a high-performing software team working closely with simulation and experimental groups to turn data, models, and control systems into reliable, scalable tools that accelerate R&D.

This is a senior, hands-on role with ownership over technical direction and system architecture.

A physics background is not required, but you should be comfortable operating in data-driven, research-oriented environments and translating evolving requirements into production-quality software.

We are looking for our engineers and scientists to apply their technical expertise, problem solving skills, and dedication to quality to positively impact the future of energy!

• Architect, develop, and maintain Python-based systems for data analysis, visualization, and internal workflows.
• Lead technical design from early research prototypes through production deployment.
• Partner with researchers and engineers to translate experimental and modeling requirements into scalable software solutions.
• Establish best practices for testing, documentation, CI/CD, and deployment in containerized environments.
