About Antioch

High-fidelity simulation for Physical AI, at cloud scale. Join teams using Antioch to ship autonomous systems with confidence, entirely in simulation. Backed by Greylock.

About the role

Lead the core engineering team across infrastructure, backend, frontend, and developer experience, and ship critical platform components yourself. Design and scale our GPU cloud platform, including scheduling and orchestration across GPU pools and clouds, large-scale data pipelining and storage, and complex networking. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • This role sits on our leadership team. You'll define the technical direction, grow the team, and steer the engineering process itself. You'll also write a lot of code and build important parts of the system yourself
  • This is not a good role for someone who wants to be a pure people manager. We want an exceptional leader who loves hard engineering work, gets their hands dirty, moves fast, and is excited to be here
  • If you'd thrive in a fast-paced environment, such as Tesla or SpaceX, you'll likely thrive at Antioch
  • 5+ years in engineering, including experience leading engineering teams at fast-growing companiesy
  • Hands-on experience building and running GPU-accelerated systems at scale in the cloud, such as ML training and inference platforms, render farms, batch simulation, or high-performance computing
More about this role

Antioch is the simulation platform for physical AI. We enable teams to develop, evaluate, and generate synthetic data for their physical systems in high-fidelity cloud simulation, accelerated by 3D-native agents.

With Antioch, teams create precision-calibrated digital twins, generate high-fidelity testing environments, and run massively-parallel simulation scenarios in the cloud. By moving development out of the field and into software, Antioch drastically reduces dependence on expensive, slow, and incomplete real-world testing.

We work with leading robotics, autonomy, and perception teams to make the deployment of physical autonomous systems safer, faster, and more cost-effective.

We're hiring a Director of Engineering to lead the core engineering of the Antioch platform. This includes the cloud infrastructure, scheduling and orchestration, data systems, and developer experience that enable our customers to run GPU-accelerated simulations at scale. Critically, this also includes the necessary tooling to keep our infrastructure reliable, affordable, and backwards compatible as usage continues to scale.

This role sits on our leadership team. You'll define the technical direction,...
