About the Role
Code Metal is seeking a backend engineer to join their Modeling & Simulation team. This role involves building the Python services, pipelines, and tooling that drive the core wargaming simulation. You will design backend services and APIs that interface with the frontend, integrate with multiple simulators, manage data, and expose results to analysts, model developers, and government stakeholders. Scope of ownership, architectural authority, and mentorship responsibility scale with level.
Responsibilities
- Design and implement backend services and APIs that orchestrate simulation runs, collect outputs, and expose results.
- Build scenario-generation, operational and mission planning workflows, and services for sensitivity-analysis.
- Build distributed, cloud-scale infrastructure for running simulations across various environments while preserving reproducibility and model provenance.
- Build data ingestion, normalization, and analysis pipelines to transform raw simulation output into decision-ready insight.
- Build scalable APIs (REST, GraphQL, gRPC) and containerized services connecting the Python tooling layer to the simulation runtime and downstream analysis tools.
- Gather requirements from government stakeholders, domain experts, and analysts, and translate them into clear software designs.
- Employ strong SDLC practices including code review, testing, continuous integration, release management, and build systems.
Requirements
- Professional experience with collaborative, enterprise-level software development in Python, delivering products to a large customer base.
- Experience gathering requirements from stakeholders and distilling them into software designs.
- Experience building and delivering robust software using strong SDLC practices, including code review, testing, continuous integration, release management, and build systems.
- Familiarity with machine learning tools and frameworks.
- Expertise building scalable APIs (REST, GraphQL, gRPC).
