Job Description

We are looking for a Backend Engineer to build and enhance cloud-based simulation services that enable users to run simulation engines reliably, securely, and at scale. You will work closely with users and stakeholders to understand simulation requirements, translate them into backend features and workflows, and deliver robust services that manage simulation inputs, execution, and outputs.

You will collaborate in a cross-functional Agile team with engineers, product owners, and platform/DevOps teams to ensure solutions are maintainable, observable, and production-ready.

Responsibilities

Simulation Features & Workflow Delivery

• Engage users to understand simulation requirements and implement related backend features and services.
• Design and develop simulation workflows (e.g., job submission, orchestration, retries, monitoring, output packaging) based on user needs.
• Build reusable components and libraries to standardise integration patterns across simulation use cases.

Cloud Services & Integration (AWS)

• Design and develop cloud services/functions to integrate simulation engines into an AWS-based environment.
• Implement secure service-to-service integrations, permissions, and secrets management aligned with organisational standards.
• Support deployment and operational readiness with logging, monitoring, and runbooks.

Data & Storage

• Work with databases and storage to manage simulation inputs/outputs, metadata, and processing pipelines.
• Implement data validation, transformation, and persistence mechanisms to ensure data quality and traceability.

Engineering Excellence & Operations

• Write clean, maintainable code and participate in code reviews and best practices.
• Develop unit/integration tests and contribute to automation to ensure system quality.
• Troubleshoot production issues and continuously improve performance, reliability, and operational efficiency.
• Maintain technical documentation such as API specifications, workflow diagrams, and operational procedures.

Requirements

• Diploma/Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent relevant experience.
• Strong programming experience in at least one modern language (Python/JavaScript/Java/C++).
• Experience building backend services and APIs (REST/JSON) with solid software engineering fundamentals.
• Working knowledge of AWS services and cloud-native development concepts.
• Comfortable with Linux environments, command line tools, and standard SDLC practices (Git, testing, CI/CD basics).
• Strong collaboration skills and ability to communicate clearly with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
