The Staff Engineer, AI/LLM Platform will be the senior applied engineer on the AI side of a small department whose charter spans both web/SaaS and AI/agents products. The role will help design, build, and distribute the agentic, context, and tool layers that turn decades of scientific modeling and simulation capability into agent-driven product experiences — from MCP servers that expose our core scientific engines, through the context and knowledge systems that feed agents, up to the agent flows customers actually interact with. This is an applied engineering role, not a research one, on a deliberately lean, high-leverage team that's growing quickly and intentionally.
