Company mission
To be the destination for designers across the globe, by providing a cloud-based simulation tool, educational hub, and collaborative community of innovators.
Role
Who you are
- If you have a passion for people management, very solid and hands-on technical knowledge, and want to build solutions to challenging problems this will be an opportunity for you
- 10 years of professional experience in software development
- 3 years of professional experience leading software development teams, either formally or technically
- A degree in computer science or comparable studies, or equivalent professional experience
- Familiarity and experience with the Java or Go ecosystems
- Professional experience developing software-as-a-service, preferable on public cloud infrastructure
- A proven track record of delivering results
- Ability to manage multiple stakeholders
- You are self-motivated and with a strong desire to solve problems, invent and simplify
- You live and promote a culture of technical ownership, effectively balancing operations, new developments and continuous improvement of legacy code in the components that your team owns
- While you may have been managing people for several years already, you still consider yourself, in essence, a hands-on software developer, and keep the passion for the craft of software
- Business acumen: while you are knowledgeable about many technologies, you apply them judiciously and opportunistically, always keeping in mind context and business value. You see the value of technology mainly as a solution to problems
What the job involves
- We are currently looking for a Backend Architect, who will be leading a team of highly skilled back-end developers and therefore have strategic impact on the business
- Our roadmap is bursting with opportunity for you to lead a team in solving intriguing challenges and tangibly impacting the customer experience
- In this key role you will be responsible for developing and maintaining key parts of our back-end infrastructure; essentially, the backbone of the SimScale platform
- Additional responsibilities include cloud cost management, software architecture, technical roadmapping, operations, and stakeholder management
Our take
Simulation and computer-aided engineering (CAE) software exists to help engineers in analysis tasks, by imitating real-life scenarios from mathematical formulae to enable optimisations and adjustments to be found prior to manufacture. However, though utility is high, CAE solutions can be difficult to implement, hard to scale, and require large investment in hardware and maintenance. SimScale provides a cloud-based simulation tool for Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), to enable engineers to easily implement simulation CAE across R&D cycles.
SimScale, founded in 2012, began life as a consultancy, before bringing cloud computing to simulation. Its platform enables organisations of any size to make use of engineering simulations, by removing the large hardware costs that would normally make them economically inaccessible; and providing accurate end-to-end simulations that can be generated without experience in the technology. The company initially provided CFD services, used to solve structural problems, before expanding to include FEA, for fluid-flow problems, by a partnership with the firm Simerics.
SimScale has hundreds of thousands of users and is progressing towards its goal of making engineering simulation a standard tool in the industry. Funds raised by the company will help it expand into new industries by adding more simulation capabilities.
