## About the role

Our Modeling & Simulation team is building the next-generation wargaming and decision-support platform that helps the DoW make multi-billion-dollar force-design decisions before those decisions are made in the real world. The team spans simulation and physics, backend and data systems, frontend and geospatial visualization, and AI systems, working together to turn operational questions into extensible, mission- and campaign-level simulations that government users can trust.

## What they're looking for

- The following apply to this role at every level. Years of experience, scope of ownership, and architectural/mentorship expectations scale by level — see “Level Expectations by Track” below
- Five or more years of professional software-development experience building simulation, autonomy, robotics, game-engine, digital-twin, or similarly complex systems
- Strong production experience in modern C++, with proficiency in Python for tooling, orchestration, analysis, or automation
- Hands-on experience developing or extending a simulation framework — not only configuring simulation tools or analyzing their output
- Experience with event-driven, discrete-event, agent-based, constructive, or distributed simulation architectures
- Demonstrated ability to represent complex real-world entities, interactions, rules, and edge cases as clear software abstractions
