Simulation Infrastructure Manager

Who you are

• Proven track record in engineering management and building healthy, high-performing technical teams
• Deep understanding of container orchestration (e.g., Kubernetes) and architectural principles for cloud scalability, resilience, and operational health
• Strong technical foundation in relational database design (schema design, performance tuning) and scalable backend web services (e.g., Go, Python, Node.js)
• Familiarity with modern frontend frameworks (e.g., React), plus a strong grasp of CI/CD, observability, and infrastructure-as-code methodologies
• Exceptional communication and leadership skills, with the ability to bridge the gap between technical execution and high-level product strategy
• Candidates most successful in this role typically hold the following qualifications or comparable knowledge or experience:
• B.S., M.S. or Ph.D. Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field (or equivalent experience)
• 5+ years of software engineering experience spanning backend services and cloud infrastructure, including at least 2+ years of direct people management experience
• Demonstrated experience guiding teams that operate production workloads on container orchestration platforms (e.g., Kubernetes) at scale, alongside strong relational database ecosystems (e.g., PostgreSQL)
• Solid foundational background in building secure, high-throughput APIs and web services (Go, Python, and/or Node.js) with modern frontends such as React
• Proven experience recruiting, building, and mentoring full-stack or infrastructure engineering teams
• Experience managing teams that support large-scale batch or parallel compute workloads
• Track record of successfully managing cloud cost optimization and observability initiatives
• Experience overseeing teams that utilize infrastructure-as-code and mature CI/CD pipelines
• Experience overseeing the development of internal developer tools or self-service platforms for technical users
• Background in simulation, autonomous vehicles, or robotics
• Standard office working conditions which includes but not limited to:
• Prolonged sitting
• Prolonged standing
• Prolonged computer use
• Don’t meet every single requirement? Studies have shown that women and/or people of color are less likely to apply to a job unless they meet every qualification

What the job involves

• As the Manager of Simulation Infrastructure, you will lead a team of full-stack and infrastructure engineers responsible for the deployment, scaling, and operational health of the web applications, databases, and cloud infrastructure supporting massive parallel batch simulation runs
• You will drive the strategic roadmap, guide the architectural design of secure, high-throughput APIs, and oversee the frontend-to-backend systems that power scenario management, run orchestration, and results analytics
• Additionally, you will focus on building and developing a high-performing team, fostering a culture of engineering excellence, partnering with the Simulation Engine team to align on integration interfaces, and ensuring platform reliability, observability, and cost-efficiency
• Recruit, manage, and mentor a team of high-performing full-stack and infrastructure engineers, focusing on their career growth, performance, and overall team health
• Own the strategic roadmap and execution for the web applications and tools that support simulation workflows (scenario management, run orchestration, tagging and taxonomy, and results analytics)
• Guide the architectural decisions for scalable cloud infrastructure and container orchestration designed to support massive, parallel batch simulation runs
• Oversee the design and maintenance of relational databases and secure, high-throughput APIs that connect frontend portals to the underlying simulation systems
• Drive engineering best practices, reliability, observability, and cost-efficiency across the platform
• Partner closely with the Simulation Engine team and other stakeholders to align technical capabilities with business needs, define clean integration interfaces, and manage complex, multi-quarter projects

Benefits

• Onsite, Hybrid, and Remote Work Options
