Software Engineer (Applied AI/ML)
Oklo · Santa Clara, CA or Remote
About this role
## Software Engineer (Applied AI/ML) Thanks for your interest in Oklo! Join us in pioneering the next generation of nuclear reactors. You’ll leverage your software skills alongside nuclear engineers to model, simulate, design, and deploy advanced fission power technology—working at the forefront of the nuclear industry to develop novel techniques that improve safety, efficiency, and resiliency. ### Position Description Oklo is a fast-moving startup. You’ll tackle a wide range of challenges in deploying nuclear systems. A nuclear background is not required, but curiosity and eagerness to learn are essential. ### Specific responsibilities may include - Invent and implement practical LLM-based workflows to accelerate Oklo’s business and engineering processes - Ensure rigorous security and information control - Accelerate both engineering and non-technical workflows - Design, implement, deploy, and maintain production machine learning models for the design and analysis of nuclear systems - Develop surrogate models for use in real-time digital twins - Grow and manage a team of software engineers to support your AI initiatives - Present roadmaps, product demos, and progress updates to senior leadership - Ensure departments’ needs are met by your initiatives - Solicit user feedback from individual contributors and department leadership ### Minimum Qualifications - Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Math, Physics, or equivalent software engineering experience - Managing and/or integrating AI into large, corporate data ontologies - Leading company-wide initiatives (from project inception to delivery and maintenance) - Physics-informed machine learning (surrogates, symbolic encodings, digital twins) - Python fluency - CI/CD pipelining - Git proficiency - Growing small software organizations - Working with large data collection pipelines - Optimization, statistics, and design of experiments ### Bonus Qualifications - Rust development - TypeScript/JavaScript (especially Svelte) development - GitLab CI/CD - Growing and managing teams of software engineers - Navigating sensitive, controlled, or externally regulated data - Knowledge of and excitement for a nuclear-powered future - Navigating quality assurance and compliance requirements with AI - Nuclear engineering concepts (reactors, power generation, fuel performance, fuel recycling, etc.) ### Competencies We are looking for a Software Engineer that is: - Passionate about clean energy - Passionate about making advanced fission a reality - Willing and able to learn quickly - (Optional placeholders in original posting) Knowledgeable about fast reactor design; skilled with Monte Carlo neutronics tools (e.g., MCNP, SERPENT, Open-MC); skilled with deterministic fast reactor tools (or eager to learn) - Eager to work on a dynamic team, receive constructive feedback, and grow - Willing to think differently and do things in new ways - Comfortable in a fast-paced, highly iterative startup environment - Excited to think creatively, critically, and reflectively about problems (not only relying on what’s been done before) - Willing to propose novel and creative solutions to technical problems - An excellent writer who can write in modern active voice (make your cover letter compelling) - Able to communicate technical content and results verbally ### Who you are - **A startup person:** Prefer efficiency over excess process; enjoy working with limited guidance in a fast
