About the role
- About the Company General Matter enriches uranium.
- Reliable, low-cost enrichment is the catalyst for the nuclear Renaissance now under way.
- We were incubated inside Founders Fund, like Anduril and Palantir before us, and are backed by over a dozen of the world's top venture capital firms.
Responsibilities
- Architect and own simulators for large, distributed systems with complex interactions, feedback loops, and failure modes.
- Build scalable infrastructure for high-volume simulation, scenario generation, and automated validation.
- Define correctness criteria and validate simulation outputs against test and real-world data in partnership with systems and hardware teams.
Requirements
- 7+ years of experience building simulators for complex, real-world systems.
- Strong programming skills in C++ and/or Python with experience handling large data flows.

Company info
- General Matter enriches uranium.
- We are designing, building, and operating the world's lowest-cost enrichment services, here in the US.
- In the process, we are restoring America's ability to produce nuclear fuel to power AI, advanced manufacturing and critical industries our country relies on to remain competitive.
- Fuel drives the cost of advanced reactor electricity production, and enrichment drives the cost of the fuel that advanced reactors consume.
- Our mission is to make nuclear not only the cleanest and safest source of baseload power, but also the most affordable.
- We believe abundant nuclear energy will lead to a post-scarcity society.
- Our lean, world-class team of engineers and operators is applying a first-principles approach to solving the problem of nuclear fuel production.
- We are a mission-driven company with a culture of urgency, accountability, and transparency.
- Help us build a high-energy society by making the cleanest, safest form of baseload energy the most affordable.
