About the role
- By moving development out of the field and into software, Antioch drastically reduces dependence on expensive, slow, and incomplete real-world testing.
- We work with leading robotics, autonomy, and perception teams to make the deployment of physical autonomous systems safer, faster, and more cost-effective.
- You'll work across backend, frontend, infrastructure, and developer tooling.
Responsibilities
- Build and operate the cloud infrastructure that runs Antioch's cloud-based simulations: orchestration, scheduling, GPU pools, storage, and observability.
- Build the customer-facing web app where teams author scenarios, manage runs, visualize and replay simulations, and review results.
- Build the agentic harness that lets coding agents drive simulation work end to end: APIs, MCP servers, tool wrappers, evals, and the feedback loops agents need to iterate reliably.
- Own performance, reliability, and cost: profile bottlenecks, reduce compute spend, and harden the system as customer load grows.
- You'll work alongside Antioch's founders, simulation engineers building digital twins and sim tooling, and 3D technical artists producing platform assets.
- Build and operate the cloud infrastructure that runs
- High ownership. You'll own systems end-to-end rather than narrow tasks, with fast iteration and direct customer feedback.
- Build the company, not just the product. Early team members help define engineering culture, product direction, and how we win.
Requirements
- Experience designing and shipping developer-facing products: SDKs, APIs, CLIs, or internal tools that other engineers depend on.
- A track record of shipping production-ready systems, not just prototypes.
- Experience operating GPU-heavy workloads (rendering, simulation, ML training)
- Experience with 3D, graphics, or rendering pipelines
Nice to have
- Strong full-stack engineering background, with production experience designing and operating cloud systems (GCP/AWS/Azure, Kubernetes, container orchestration, data pipelines).
- Deep fluency in Python.
- Fluency in Rust/C++ is a plus.
- backend services and APIs, plus modern web frontends.
- Comfort across the stack: backend services and APIs, plus modern web frontends.
Skills
- Antioch is the agentic simulation platform for robotics and autonomy.
- SDKs, APIs, CLIs, or internal tools that other engineers depend on.
Company info
- Communicate clearly with customers and internal teams about tradeoffs, constraints, and roadmap.
- Build internal tooling that lets simulation engineers, 3D artists, and customers move quickly: SDKs, CLIs, dashboards, and deployment pipelines.
- Partner directly with customers to integrate Antioch into their development workflows: APIs, CI hooks, data exchange, and authentication.
- You don't need every box checked. We're looking for strength in most of these:
- you'll design and ship the systems that customers and internal teams depend on every day, from the orchestration layer running massively parallel sims to the web app where engineers author scenarios and review results.
- Partner directly with customers to integrate
- Real problems, real stakes. Our customers build physical autonomous systems that have to behave correctly in the real world, and our work directly affects whether they get there.
