About the role
- World-class physics models are only as powerful as the workflows that steer them.
- Your work will unlock autonomous R&D loops that plan experiments, allocate compute, and derive insights in real time, enabling state-of-the-art simulation methods to be widely and efficiently applied to industrial-scale problems.
Responsibilities
- Develop analytic tooling that explains agent decisions, determines root causes for simulation failures, and quantifies downstream business impact.
- Build robust orchestration pipelines (Ray/Kubernetes/SLURM) for on-prem HPC and cloud GPU clusters
- implement fault tolerance and provenance tracking.
- Collaborate with foundation-model and multimodal teams to couple high-level reasoning with foundational atomistic predictions.
- 3+ years research experience building decision-making or agentic frameworks at scale.
- Build robust orchestration pipelines (Ray/Kubernetes/SLURM) for on-prem HPC and cloud GPU clusters; implement fault tolerance and provenance tracking.
Requirements
- Strong publication or open-source track record in ML for physical sciences.
- Familiarity with quantum chemistry, atomistic simulation, or chemistry/materials science
Nice to have
- Fluency in Python plus modern ML stacks (PyTorch/JAX) and familiarity with distributed training tooling (CUDA, NCCL, Slurm/K8s/Ray).
- Preferred Extras
Compensation
- Competitive salary + meaningful equity
Benefits
- Competitive salary + meaningful equity
- Full health, dental, and vision benefits for you and your family
- Personal fitness budget
- Unlimited PTO and all national holidays
- Design reinforcement-learning or curriculum-learning loops that teach agents to balance exploration, accuracy, and cost across heterogeneous compute resources.
Equal opportunity
- Mirror is an equal-opportunity employer.
- We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
