Backed by Y Combinator.
About the role
We’re hiring a Backend Engineer to help build the infrastructure behind our autonomous engineering agents. You’ll work across model serving, simulation orchestration, multi-agent coordination, and developer-facing APIs. This role is critical to delivering fast, reliable, and scalable systems that engineers can trust in production design environments.
What they're looking for
- Strong backend engineering skills in Python or similar languages
- Experience designing and maintaining production APIs
- Familiarity with containerized development and deployment (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes)
- Comfort building infrastructure that supports AI/ML systems or computational workflows
- Strong systems thinking and ability to reason across compute, data, and model interactions
- Experience in fast-paced environments where end-to-end ownership is expected
More about this role
Navier AI is building the first autonomous engineering agents. AI systems that can design, simulate, and optimize complex products to achieve breakthrough levels of performance. Our mission is to enable engineers to move beyond today’s slow, manual design cycles by providing agents that reason about physics, explore design trade-offs, and generate high-performance solutions across aerospace, automotive, and advanced manufacturing.
We’re backed by top-tier investors and work directly with industry leaders to deploy AI-native tools that go far beyond today’s design automation.
