About the role

  • To get there, we need the backend and infrastructure that lets our research move to production reliably, repeatably, and at scale.
  • GROWTH & OPPORTUNITY This is a unique opportunity for technical and professional growth.
  • You will help define a foundational abstraction layer early in the company's trajectory.

Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and operate the backend services and infrastructure that power Vinci's simulation and inference platform.
  • Own infrastructure-as-code with Terraform across our cloud environments, provisioning and managing services reliably and repeatably.
  • Maintain and evolve our build systems (CMake, pip/uv) across large Python and C++ codebases.
  • Partner closely with Physicists, AI researchers, Software Engineers, and Computational Geometry experts to turn research into dependable systems.
  • Build systems: comfortable with build tooling such as CMake and Python packaging via pip/uv.
  • Support global, multi-entity deployment across Tier-1 ecosystems
  • comfortable with build tooling such as CMake and Python packaging via pip/uv.
  • Strong software engineering fundamentals; comfortable meeting software design standards to get code into a production environment.

Requirements

  • 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a strong focus on backend and infrastructure.
  • Infrastructure & cloud: hands-on Terraform experience and production work on at least one major cloud (GCP, AWS, Azure, or similar).
  • Experience taking an early-stage prototype to a production environment, at a startup or national lab.
  • Familiarity with 3D rendering or visualization technologies.
  • Experience supporting ML or scientific-computing workloads (PyTorch, NumPy, CUDA, GPU infrastructure).
  • Experience with containers and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes) and observability tooling.
  • Comfort evolving core platform and model infrastructure.

Skills

  • hands-on Terraform experience and production work on at least one major cloud (GCP, AWS, Azure, or similar).
  • built and maintained pipelines with Jenkins or an equivalent CI system.

Compensation

  • Competitive salary, equity, health benefits, flexible time off, and remote-friendly policies.
  • Final compensation depends on experience and location.

Benefits

  • Build and harden CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins or equivalent) so the team can ship with confidence and strong regression coverage.
  • Expand simulation capabilities to maximize utility and domain coverage
  • Competitive salary, equity, health benefits, flexible time off, and remote-friendly policies.

Company info

  • At Vinci, we are building the operator intelligence infrastructure that modern hardware programs rely on daily. We have already proven that a single foundation model works out of the box across physics on realistic production workloads.
  • Trained on petabytes of structured physics data
  • Running billion-voxel inference in production
  • Tier-1 semiconductor and hardware customers
  • Operating across multiple physical scales and operator regimes
  • At Vinci, we are building the operator intelligence infrastructure that modern hardware programs rely on daily.
  • We have already proven that a single foundation model works out of the box across physics on realistic production workloads.
  • We are scaling deployment at industrial magnitude:
  • Increase simulation throughput by two orders of magnitude
  • Our ambition is to become the default operator intelligence layer that hardware companies run on.
  • Our unified model architecture delivers steady-state and transient solutions to partial differential equations at production scale.
