About Code Metal

Code Metal: Verifiable, AI-enabled code translation. For companies doing edge development, code portability, and code modernization across industries like automotive, defense, semiconductors, and aerospace. Speed time-to-market, meet safety and compliance... Backed by Accel.

About the role

Own end-to-end deployment of validated customer solutions. From implementation and integration through production acceptance, you are accountable for delivering reliable working systems on target hardware. This role is open at Senior, Staff, or Principal level. The expectations below describe how scope, ownership, and technical leadership differ by level; candidates are evaluated against the level they are hired into.

What they're looking for

  • Own end-to-end deployment of validated customer solutions. From implementation and integration through production acceptance, you are accountable for delivering reliable working systems on target hardware
  • Work directly with customer engineers and operators to integrate into their environment, understand operational constraints, and close gaps between a validated solution and production use
  • Productionize and optimize implementations. Take validated DSP, RF, communications, or other compute-heavy pipelines and make them reliable, performant, testable, and deployable on GPUs, FPGAs, and other accelerators using Code Metal's platform
  • Optimize performance under real-world constraints. Profile, debug, and tune systems for latency, throughput, memory, and power across heterogeneous compute environments
  • Debug across the full stack. Identify and resolve issues spanning algorithms, software, hardware, and toolchains in complex deployment environments
  • Collaborate cross-functionally. Partner with Solutions Engineers, Solutions Architects, product, and core engineering to resolve field issues, harden reusable capabilities, and feed deployment learnings into the platform
More about this role

Code Metal is the leader in automated software engineering you can trust. As AI writes more of the world's code, the bottleneck in software has shifted from writing code to verifying it works, and AI cannot verify its own work with certainty. Code Metal takes a fundamentally different approach: constrain AI to what it does reliably, verify every step independently of the model using formal methods, and keep engineers in the loop on the decisions that matter. The result isn't code that probably works — it's code that is provably correct, with auditable proof. Customers including the U.S. Air Force, L3Harris, RTX, and Toshiba use Code Metal to modernize legacy code, optimize performance on real hardware, and move prototypes to production, fast. Founded in 2023 with offices in Boston and San Francisco, Code Metal is funded by Accel, Salesforce Ventures, B Capital, Smith Point Capital, J2 Ventures, Shield Capital, Overmatch, RTX, and others.
