Our AI-Powered physics architecture and models unlock Real-time interaction, slashing simulation times from days to seconds.

Contribute to cutting-edge AI research and help redefine what’s possible in the industry!

The opportunity

At Emmi AI, you won’t just be supporting cutting-edge AI research; you’ll be building the engine that powers it. We're on a mission to make physics simulations fast, scalable, and intelligent, and to achieve this, our brilliant AI researchers need magnificent tools that allow them to innovate at lightning speed. That’s where you come in. You will get the chance to architect, build, and refine the core software infrastructure that underpins our entire AI model development lifecycle. This is your opportunity to:

• Shape our core AI Development Framework/SDK: Design and implement robust, scalable, and intuitive Python-based libraries and tools that our ML teams and customers will use every day to create industry-changing Physics AI surrogate models.

• Mastermind Data Integration & Management: Tackle complex challenges in seamlessly integrating diverse datasets.

• Pioneer our Future AI Model Training Platform: Spearhead the development of an internal platform aimed at simplifying and accelerating model training.

• Champion Developer Experience (DevX): Be the driving force for an exceptional internal developer experience. We need your awesome ideas and engineering prowess to create a development ecosystem that is not just functional, but a joy to use, ensuring our teams can iterate rapidly and efficiently.

• Enable Velocity: You understand that in a startup, speed is a critical differentiator. Your contributions will be pivotal in ensuring our research and development cycles are as short and impactful as possible.

We love engineering excellence, and have fun at work. This may manifest in things like…

… you find deep satisfaction in architecting elegant, well-documented APIs that others love to use.
… you get uneasy when you see AI researchers and engineers bottlenecked by inefficient tooling or a clunky workflow.
… your mood is directly proportional to the speed of a dataloader feeding data into a GPU.
… you tell all your family at dinner about the impeccable modularity and efficiency of your latest infrastructure component.
… but still value a healthy work-life balance and understand that great software is built by happy, focused engineers.
