> ROLE OVERVIEW
Physical Superintelligence is a startup building AI systems to discover new physics at scale. We are seeking engineers to build platform infrastructure at the intersection of computational science, AI systems, and software engineering. Our mission is to discover and commercialize transformative physics breakthroughs at scale with artificial superintelligence, safely, verifiably, and for broad public benefit. We believe artificial superintelligence will unlock the next golden age of physics, giving us breakthroughs like transistors, lasers, and nuclear energy.
> CORE RESPONSIBILITIES
- Design the runtime primitives researchers and engineers compose into agentic workflows: sequential pipelines, tree-search agents, and whatever pattern the science asks for next.
- Build the durable execution layer. A researcher's request becomes work that finds the right cluster, runs there, survives partial failure, and comes back replayable.
- Make every run priceable and replayable end to end. Every call traced, cost recorded at call time, one correlation ID from request to result.
> HARD REQUIREMENTS & SPECS
- Five or more years building and operating distributed systems in production at companies known for engineering rigor, on major cloud platforms with Kubernetes, Slurm, or comparable orchestration.
- Implemented or substantially extended a durable scheduler, workflow engine, dataflow system, or agent runtime.
- Shipped a library or internal framework other engineers extend rather than only consume.
