Software Engineer (Python/Rust)

The Vision

Navier AI is building engineering software for physics-driven design. We are starting by making Computational Fluid Dynamics simulations that are 1000x faster than current solutions. We're leveraging cutting-edge physics machine learning to accelerate traditionally compute-intensive simulations. Why? Because Engineers deserve better tools to drive innovation, from designing efficient aircraft, to faster F1 cars to silent hair dryers. We're not just improving the status quo - we're redefining it.

The Role: Software Engineer

As a Software Generalist on our founding team, you’ll touch all parts of our tech stack. You’ll work on everything from building robust data pipelines to cloud infrastructure on AWS, writing clean and scalable Python code, and contributing to full-stack development. You’ll be a key player in ensuring our technology scales as our company grows.

What We’re Looking For:

• Proficiency in Python and experience with Python-based data pipelines
• Experience with Rust including crates such as egui, wpgu, bevy
• Familiarity with full-stack development (bonus points for experience in frontend and backend technologies)
• Strong experience with cloud services (AWS, GCP, Azure)
• An ability to quickly learn new technologies and adapt to new challenges
• Comfortable with version control (Git) and software development best practices
• You enjoy problem-solving and working across a variety of technical areas

Bonus:

• Experience in DevOps or cloud automation tools (Pulumi, Kubernetes, etc.)
• Familiarity with machine learning workflows and scientific computing
• Knowledge of containerization (Docker) and CI/CD pipelines
• Experience with Rust! We love Rust and build a lot of our core technology with it.
• GPU programming (WebGL, wgpu, OpenGL)

Why This Role is Special:

• Big Impact: You’ll be part of a small, fast-paced team where your contributions will directly influence both the product and the company’s direction. Every decision you make will have a meaningful impact.
• Variety & Ownership: You’ll work across the entire tech stack—Python scripting, cloud architecture, and web development. There’s no single problem, technology, or challenge that will define your work; you’ll own the whole solution.
• Room for Growth: You’ll have the opportunity to grow with the company, gaining exposure not only to cutting-edge technology but also to how startups are run and scaled.
• Close Collaboration: You’ll work directly with the founders and a tight-knit team that’s passionate about solving tough engineering problems.

The Founders

Cameron and Evan are former SpaceX-ers who’ve built and launched land, sea, air and space vehicles. As aerospace engineers, they experienced firsthand the challenges of slow, inefficient engineering workflows and founded Navier AI to solve these exact problems.

Location & Compensation

• In-person, San Francisco
• Salary: $100K-$200K + equity
