Forward Deployed Software Engineer

PhysicsX

ABOUT US PhysicsX is a deep-tech company with roots in numerical physics and Formula One, dedicated to accelerating hardware innovation at the speed of software. We are building an AI-driven simulation software stack for engineering and manufacturing across advanced industries. By enabling high-fidelity, multi-physics simulation through AI inference across the entire engineering lifecycle, PhysicsX unlocks new levels of optimization and automation in design, manufacturing, and operations — empowering engineers to push the boundaries of possibility. Our customers include leading innovators in Aerospace & Defense, Materials, Energy, Semiconductors, and Automotive. THE ROLE Your role, first and foremost, is to help our customers solve their most important problems. As a Senior Forward Deployed Software Engineer, this takes the form of building and deploying applications that utilize the power of our physics AI models to enable our customers to build better, faster, and cheaper. As a member of the delivery team, you’ll work directly with customers, data scientists, and machine learning engineers to develop applications that change the way advanced engineering is done. We’re looking for someone who can grasp advanced engineering concepts across multiple industries, fundamentally understand the problems that engineers face, and build tools to solve these problems.   WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR Technical ability: We work across a wide range of engineering disciplines, all of which are high complexity. Someone with a track record of solving hard problems is a must, a background in Mechanical Engineering or similar is a plus. This role deals with breadth across the full stack, having a solid foundation in software engineering, API design, and deploying applications to production is desired.   Proactivity & high ownership: You’ll be responsible for driving impact for our customers, whatever that might look like. We're looking for someone who is a go-getter and is naturally inclined to find problems and solve them end-to-end. You own the responsibility to get things done and will pick up the skills and experience needed to solve novel problems quickly.   Solution-focussed:We build tools that customers need, not just the ones they want. So you must be someone who is customer-obsessed and can work alongside our customers to understand their problems and build applications that change the way they do engineering.   WHAT A DAY MIGHT LOOK LIKE Collaborate with cross-functional teams: Collaborate with data scientists and machine learning engineers to ship physics models to our customers in a way that delivers maximum value. Work with designers and front-end engineers to shape the UX in line with customer needs.   E2E application design: Work with customers to shape tools that are impactful for their teams. Construct low-lift prototypes of your ideas and ship them directly to the customer. Rapidly iterate on this experience through constant user feedback.   Backend development: Build and maintain RESTful APIs (FastAPI) and microservices in Python to serve Large Physics Models to the end users. Working with other software engineers in our platform team, deploy these applications to the cloud so they become key tools in our customer’s day-to-day workflow. We use a mixture of Helm, Kubernetes, Terraform, and AWS/Azure for provisioning and running our infrastructure.   PhysicsX development: Distill down complex solutions built across multiple use cases into fundamental components. Pitch and execute the development of features on top of our core platform offering. Drive the direction of PhysicsX to be better positioned to solve ever harder problems with our customer.   We value diversity and are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of sex, race, religion, ethnicity, nationality, disability, age, sexual orientation or gender identity. We strongly encourage individuals from groups traditionally underrepresented in tech to apply. To help make a change, we sponsor bright women from disadvantaged backgrounds through their university degrees in science and mathematics.    We collect diversity and inclusion data solely for the purpose of monitoring the effectiveness of our equal opportunities policies and ensuring compliance with UK employment and equality legislation.

Ameba

Forward Deployed Software Engineer Engineering at Ameba is a rare opportunity to build cutting-edge software in a traditional industry, while being generously rewarded for your contributions. If you’ve never considered working in supply chains before, everything around you, including the device you're reading this on, has a story of how it got there. Raw material to finished product, that story is the supply chain. If the unseen machinery of the world sparks something in you, we'd love to talk! We're a startup made up of experienced entrepreneurs (who have previously raised $160m+) and builders (ex-Meta, Palantir, Microsoft, Quant Devs, UnlikelyAI). We have big ambitions and are backed by some of the most successful investors in Europe. We’ve raised over $9M since our launch just over a year ago. Your role as a Forward Deployed Software Engineer As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you’ll be embedded directly with customers, turning vague, ambiguous problems into production software, often in days, not months. This isn’t a back-office role. You’ll be side-by-side with our most important customers, from high-tech manufacturers to global fashion houses, diving into their workflows, spotting opportunities to extend or iterate on the product, and rapidly building tools that make their operations more efficient and intelligent. In this role, you'll flex across the full stack: writing backend in Kotlin, crafting frontends in React/TypeScript, deploying infrastructure in AWS, and tweaking our ML agents. In this role, you’ll have full autonomy to take ideas from concept to a deployed solution, and will work hand-in-hand with our CTO and engineering team to make Ameba deployments a success. Life at Ameba We pride ourselves on providing top-of-market salaries and generous equity packages to all employees. We're assembling a lean team of exceptionally talented individuals and aim to reward them accordingly. * We enjoy collaborating together in the office, typically five days a week, for easy, high-bandwidth conversations. While we provide flexibility to work from home when necessary, our primary focus at this early stage is creating a strong office-first experience. * We offer 28 holiday days per year, and we shut down entirely over the holiday season for 2 weeks, allowing everyone to disconnect completely. * We provide four months of maternity and paternity leave at 100% salary. * We offer comprehensive healthcare and dental cover. * The salary range for this role is £80,000-£130,000 + equity. The salary for this position is determined by several factors, such as experience, relevant skills, business needs, or market demands. * You will have the opportunity to visit customers at their place of work, both in the UK and outside it! We currently work with customers in Portugal, the Netherlands, and more. QUALIFICATIONS Essential: * Minimum 3 years of experience as a software engineer. * 2+ years of experience with React/TypeScript and an Object-Oriented Programming Language (Java, Scala, Kotlin, C#, C++). * Proven experience in building and shipping software, involving collaboration with other engineers, designers, product managers, and users to identify and implement solutions based on customer needs. * 1+ years of experience contributing to the system design or architecture (architecture, design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems. Desirable: * Prior experience as a Forward Deployed Software Engineer. * Undergraduate or Masters degree in Computer Science (or related fields). * Experience with AWS and Docker. * Interest in AI, and familiarity with building LLM-based agents. * Exposure to contract-first development (OpenAPI, gRPC/Protocol Buffers). * Ability to design scalable and efficient system architectures. * Ability to navigate rapidly changing priorities in a growing startup environment. * [Optional] Previous experience working at a startup or a keen interest in startups.
