Our customers include leading innovators in Aerospace & Defense, Materials, Energy, Semiconductors, and Automotive.
The Role
We are looking for passionate software engineers to join us in building the cutting-edge platform that empowers Data Scientists, Machine Learning Engineers and Simulation Engineers to create, train, and deploy physics-informed models at PhysicsX. You'll take ownership of your work from implementation to production, ensuring quality, scalability, and observability at every step. By engaging with our Guilds and leveraging domain knowledge from end users, you’ll not only refine your craft but also help shape the future of our software engineering practices.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What You Will Do
- Take part in building a platform used by Data Scientists and Simulation Engineers to build, train, and deploy Deep Physics Models.
- Work on a focused, stream-aligned, and cross-functional team (back-end, front-end, design) that is empowered to make its implementation decisions towards meeting its objectives.
- Gather and leverage domain knowledge and experience from the Data Scientists and Simulation Engineers using your product.
What You Will Bring to the Table
- A passion for the evolving craft of software engineering.
- The ability to work collaboratively and effectively in cross-functional teams.
- Proficiency in both Python and Go.
- A willingness to take ownership from implementation to production, including testing, containerisation, continuous integration and delivery, authentication / authorisation, telemetry / observability / monitoring.
- A working understanding of messaging in event-driven systems, which implies some experience using tools such as NATS, RabbitMQ, or Kafka for example.
- Some experience, professional or otherwise, developing applications for Kubernetes. CKAD is a plus, but by no means a requirement.
