Junior Software Engineer

Core responsibilities include:

• Transform and optimize the storage of reactor data and physics results
• Design and configure CI/CD pipelines to perform multiphysics analyses
• Build tools for reactor engineers to visualize, compare, and evaluate reactor designs and their physics
• Integrate simulation tools into analyses pipelines
• Implement physics kernels to solve unanswered problems or improve performance of existing models
• Develop reactor optimization schemes and statistical experiments to inform design changes
• Identify and improve process-related inefficiencies in reactor design that can be addressed with software

This role contributes to pioneering the next generation of nuclear reactors to provide clean, reliable, and affordable energy at scale, advancing nuclear technology for sustainable energy generation.

Required qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, computer engineering, or equivalent work experience
• 0–2 years of professional software engineering experience (internships, co-ops, or significant projects are a plus)
• Fluency in Python
• Proficiency with Git
• Curiosity and passion for nuclear power, closing the nuclear fuel cycle, and sustainable energy generation

Bonus qualifications:

• Experience with CI/CD, preferably GitLab
• Experience with Rust
• Experience with Typescript/Javascript (especially Svelte)
• Experience with optimization, statistics, or design of experiments

Compensation: $80,000-$115,000 annually. Benefits include flexible time off, equity, competitive pay, 401k, health insurance, FSA, flexible work hours, and other benefits.
