Design and operate backend services for generative AI capabilities and build scalable data infrastructure in a collaborative team focused on innovation.
Rescale is pioneering the future of engineering and scientific discovery. As the leader in digital engineering, we’re transforming how products are developed—through intelligent automation, applied AI, data management, and the integration of the world’s largest network of engineering and R&D applications. Joining Rescale means becoming part of a diverse, collaborative, and mission-driven team that’s unlocking faster innovation across industries like aerospace, energy, life sciences, and manufacturing. We’re solving complex challenges that traditional HPC can’t—and we’re seeking passionate, curious minds to help build the next wave of breakthroughs.
We are seeking a product-focused Software Engineer to join our infrastructure organization, owning core data and AI capabilities that power file management, high-performance data paths, bring-your-own data patterns, and integrations with external systems.
Some of the things you will work on and impact:
Design, build, and operate backend services for generative AI capabilities, including LLM-backed APIs, agents, retrieval and knowledge layers, and connectors to internal and external systems.
Build and scale data infrastructure underpinning file management and high-throughput data flows between customer environments, cloud object storage, and compute clusters, with an emphasis on reliability, performance, and cost.
Work across the stack—from backend services (Python/Java/Go) and cloud infrastructure (AWS/Azure/GCP, containers/Kubernetes) to the occasional UI change—to deliver end-to-end user-facing experiences in collaboration with product, design, and other engineering teams.
What we’re looking for:
1-3 years of backend software engineering experience building and operating distributed systems in a major cloud environment (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
Strong experience in at least two of Python, Java, or Go, and comfort working across service boundaries and APIs.
Experience with data-intensive systems (for example: object storage, relational databases, caches, queues/streams) and experience or strong interest in building products on top of LLMs or agents.
Experience using AI agents as part of the software development lifecycle (Claude Code or similar).
Willingness to work across the stack as needed—from backend services and cloud infrastructure to occasional frontend changes.
Strong product mindset, ability to navigate ambiguity, and effective collaboration with designers, product managers, and other engineers.
BS in Computer Science or equivalent experience.
Diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging are fundamental to our success. We strive to be a workplace where we:
Welcome ALL and ALL are welcome.
Show up with our whole selves or whichever parts of ourselves we’re comfortable sharing, and be ready to see the same in others.
Be ready to learn, unlearn, and learn again.
Respect others and their opinions. We practice empathy in the way we interact with each other and celebrate uniqueness as a team.
Seek to understand - ask more questions than one makes statements.
Provide safety from judgment and preserve a collaborative environment.
