Software Engineer - Simulation, Game Engine & World Systems (Autonomy)

Job summary

Responsibilities

We're seeking a talented Engineer to work on a brand new initiative designing and developing the world representation layer at the heart of Applied Intuition's Axion simulation stack.

• Develop World & Scene Representation Systems: Design and implement core spatial data structures, including Entity Component System frameworks, spatial indexing, occupancy…
• Own Mapping & Geometry Pipelines: Build and optimize the computational geometry and world-state systems that sit between raw sensor data and the path planning stack — including…
• Drive Performance to the Metal: Write highly optimized C++ (C++20) with a focus on low-latency, cache-efficient, and memory-conscious design.
• Technical Strategy & Integration: Participate in driving architectural decisions and design clean APIs that enable cross-domain integration across air, ground, and maritime…

What they're looking for

• 2+ years of experience in any field, or equivalent combination of education and experience
• Expert-level C++ skills (C++20 or later), including template metaprogramming, move semantics, SIMD, and performance optimization at the systems level
• Hands-on experience building world or scene representations — from a game engine, sim platform, or autonomous system — including managing dynamic object state, spatial indexing…
• Strong background in computational geometry: coordinate transformations, spatial data structures (BVH, octrees, k-d trees), geometric algorithms, and collision/proximity systems
• Deep intuition for low-latency, high-throughput software design in real-time environments

Tech stack

• C++
• Python
• Docker
