Python Developer
Summary
Recruiter-posted Principal Python Engineer role (Modeling & Simulation) at a US defence-tech client that raised a $125M Series B. The engineer owns production Python systems and backend architecture (APIs, queues, distributed workflows) for AI-assisted simulation infrastructure, spanning C++, AFSIM, compilers and deployment to CPUs, GPUs and FPGAs.
What if your next role let you work at the intersection of Python, simulation, AI and defence — building software that takes complex models from high-level code through to deployment on CPUs, GPUs and FPGAs?
🚀 Our client — a heavily funded defence-tech company — is hiring a Principal Python Engineer (Modeling & Simulation) in the US.
They’re building AI-assisted development infrastructure for mission-critical and edge environments, tackling complex problems across simulation, distributed systems, compilers and heterogeneous compute.
The role:
✅ Build and own complex production Python systems end-to-end
✅ Design scalable backend architectures across APIs, data models, queues and distributed workflows
✅ Work on modelling & simulation systems, ideally involving C++ and AFSIM or similar frameworks
✅ Solve performance, reliability and deployment challenges in real-world defence environments
✅ Work across AI-assisted development, simulation and complex software infrastructure
✅ At senior levels, lead major technical initiatives and mentor engineers while remaining hands-on
