Simulation Platform Engineer - 4 days onsite - Start Up (Equity Included)


I’m partnering with a fast-growing climate/insurtech startup building advanced simulation and digital twin platforms to model real-world risk across environmental perils. Their technology combines physics-based simulation, machine learning, and geospatial data to power critical decision-making in areas such as wildfire, hurricane, and flood risk.


Key Responsibilities:

  • Own and maintain production simulation pipelines, including debugging, monitoring, and improving uptime and incident response across modeling workflows.
  • Strengthen CI/CD processes and infrastructure reliability across simulation, digital twin, and ML pipelines through automated testing and efficient deployment strategies.
  • Build and operate annotation and quality control systems for digital twins, leveraging ML-assisted workflows to improve data quality and reduce manual effort.
  • Develop new digital twin capabilities, including features supporting additional perils such as wind and flood.
  • Integrate new simulation pipelines end-to-end, connecting geospatial data, preprocessing, simulation workflows, and post-processing systems.
  • Collaborate closely with machine learning engineers to support training, inference, and continuous improvement of AI-driven models.


Key Qualifications:

  • 5 years of experience in backend or infrastructure engineering, with a focus on building production-grade data or simulation pipelines.
  • Proven experience owning and operating complex, distributed, data-intensive systems end-to-end.
  • Hands-on experience with cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, and alerting systems.
  • Experience working in fast-paced startup environments with high ownership.
  • Background supporting physics-based or simulation-heavy workflows.
  • Strong academic background in Computer Science, Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Physics, or a related field.
