Job description

Team Red Dog is hiring a Scientific Software Engineer for our client, a Fortune 50 technology leader and AI-driven technology organization. In this role, you'll develop customer-facing software, maintain GitHub repositories, and build reusable AI agents and community assets that support scientists and data scientists solving complex research challenges. You'll apply modern software engineering practices to scientific computing, machine learning, and simulation-based workflows while working with cutting-edge AI and LLM technologies. This position offers the opportunity to contribute to impactful research initiatives while helping establish best practices for AI-powered scientific software development.
Top Required Skills (Must Haves):
  1. GitHub & Version Control (1-2+ years): Experience maintaining GitHub repositories, managing customer-facing codebases, collaborating through version control, and publishing reusable software assets.
  2. AI, LLMs & Agentic AI (1-2+ years): Working knowledge of large language models, AI agents, APIs, MCP, and machine learning concepts used to develop intelligent software solutions.
  3. Scientific Software Development (1-2+ years): Experience applying software engineering practices to scientific computing, computational science, simulation, or research-based applications.
  4. Programming & Software Engineering: Strong coding skills with the ability to write maintainable, reusable code while supporting technical customers and collaborating with multidisciplinary engineering teams.

Opportunity Overview:
This team enables scientists and data scientists by developing software that accelerates research, experimentation, and AI-driven discovery. You'll own customer-facing GitHub repositories, write production-quality code, and create reusable software components that improve scientific workflows across machine learning, simulation, and computational science projects. If you enjoy solving challenging technical problems while working at the intersection of software engineering, AI, and scientific research, this role provides exceptional exposure to emerging technologies and real-world innovation.
How you will make an impact:
  • Develop, maintain, and own customer-facing GitHub repositories.
  • Write high-quality, reusable software that supports scientific and data science customers.
  • Build repeatable AI agents and publish reusable community assets that establish engineering best practices.
  • Collaborate with product teams to onboard and support customers.
  • Apply software engineering principles to scientific computing and computational research problems.
  • Support machine learning, AI, and simulation-related initiatives.
  • Troubleshoot software issues and implement technical improvements.
  • Contribute to coding standards, version control, and collaborative software development practices.

The expertise you bring:
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 1-2+ years of experience using GitHub and modern version control practices.
  • 1-2+ years of experience working with AI, LLMs, APIs, MCP, or machine learning technologies.
  • 1-2+ years of experience applying software engineering practices within scientific computing, computational science, simulation, or related technical domains.
  • Strong programming and software development skills.
  • Experience troubleshooting technical issues and improving software quality.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
  • Ability to collaborate effectively with engineers, researchers, and technical customers.
  • GitHub portfolio demonstrating previous software development work.

What makes a candidate highly successful in this role:
Candidates who stand out have hands-on experience applying software engineering skills to scientific or research-focused environments rather than solely traditional application development. They demonstrate strong GitHub practices, understand modern AI and agentic AI technologies, and have experience building reusable software that supports machine learning, computational science, or simulation workflows. A portfolio of open-source contributions or customer-facing GitHub repositories, combined with curiosity for emerging AI technologies, will set candidates apart.
