You’ll leverage your software skills alongside nuclear engineers to model, simulate, design, and deploy advanced fission power technology. You will work at the forefront of the nuclear industry, developing novel techniques to reach new levels of safety, efficiency, and resiliency. Come be a part of powering the future with advanced fission power plants to provide clean, reliable, affordable energy.Position DescriptionOklo is a fast-moving startup where you will be responsible for tackling a wide range of challenges in reactor design and analysis. A nuclear background is not required, but a healthy curiosity and eagerness to learn are essential in this this role you mightTransform and optimize the storage of reactor data and physics resultsDesign and configure CI/CD pipelines to perform multiphysics analysesBuild tools for reactor engineers to visualize, compare, and evaluate reactor designs and their physicsIntegrate simulation tools into our analyses pipelinesImplement physics kernels to solve unanswered problems, or to improve performance of existing modelsDevelop high-level reactor optimization schemes and statistical experiments to inform design changesIdentify and improve process-related inefficiencies in reactor design that can be addressed with softwareMinimum QualificationsBachelor/'s degree in computer science, computer engineering or equivalent work experience3+ years of work experienceFluency in PythonProficiency in GitExperience with CI/CDBonus QualificationsProficiency in RustProficiency in Typescript/Javascript (especially Svelte)Experience in growing small software organizationsExperience working with large data collection pipelinesExperience with optimization, statistics and design of experimentsKnowledge of GitLab CI/CDPrior work developing and implementing software quality assurance programs and testing, especially in quality-focused industriesCuriosity and passion for nuclear power, closing the nuclear fuel cycle, and sustainable energy generationWho you areA startup person: You aren/'t driven by titles or hierarchy, and prefer efficiency to excess process. You don/'t need or expect to have a lot of guidance but you enjoy working in a fast-paced team.Motivated: You are self-motivated. You bring an enthusiasm to the team, and imbue a sense of passion that goes beyond clocking in and clocking out.A team-player: Oklo genuinely is a team. We aren/'t about taking credit for ourselves, and we aren/t about pushing blame to others.An excellent communicator: We need a person who is not only technically competent but also a clear and upbeat communicator.Creative: You are able to identify problems outside clear scopes and invent ways to solve them without micromanagement. You should enjoy solving open-ended problems that may change day-by-day.Detail-oriented: Attention to detail matters for excellence, consistency, and quality, including strong grammar and spelling for communications and company image.About Oklo compensation/$80,000-$155,000Oklo offers flexible time off, equity, competitive pay, 401k, health insurance, FSA, flexible work hours, and other benefits.About Oklo Inc.Oklo Inc. is developing fast fission power plants to deliver clean, reliable, and affordable energy at scale; establishing a domestic supply chain for critical radioisotopes; and advancing nuclear fuel recycling to convert nuclear waste into clean energy. Oklo was the first to receive a site use permit from the U.S. Department of Energy for a commercial advanced fission plant, was awarded fuel material from Idaho National Laboratory, and submitted the first custom combined license application for an advanced reactor to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Oklo is also developing advanced fuel recycling technologies in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Energy and U.S. National Laboratories. #J-18808-Ljbffr
