The SCI Institute
The SCI Institute is a world-class research institute located within the new Warnock Engineering Building on the University of Utah campus. We are a highly dynamic, driven group of over 170 faculty, staff, and students. The overarching goals of the SCI Institute's scientific computing research are to create new techniques, tools, and systems, by which scientists may solve problems affecting various aspects of human life. We believe that to advance the state-of-the-art and create meaningful computational solutions for such complex systems, one needs to advance research in a number of areas within scientific computing, including: visualization, simulation, and modeling. The SCI Institute presents a highly challenging, collaborative work environment that can be deeply rewarding for the right individual. Further information is available at http://www.sci.utah.edu/.
We are seeking a Software Development Engineer with experience and interested in state-of-the-art AI technologies, data science, and research software engineering. This position offers the opportunity to work in a world-renowned research institute alongside faculty, software engineers, PhD students, and PostDocs on the development of cutting-edge AI-ready/agentic infrastructure for data and model discovery, model metadata extraction, and scholarly intelligence.
The Software Development Engineer III/IV provides advanced technical leadership in the design, development, deployment, and operation of complex software systems, cloud platforms, data infrastructure, and AI-enabled research environments. This position serves as a senior technical contributor responsible for architecting and delivering scalable, secure, and innovative software solutions that support nationally significant research, artificial intelligence, advanced computing, and cyberinfrastructure initiatives.
The position leads the technical design and implementation of large-scale projects supporting AI innovation, federated data ecosystems, privacy-enhancing technologies, cloud-native platforms, and scientific computing environments. Working with faculty, researchers, government agencies, industry partners, and multidisciplinary technical teams, the incumbent provides technical direction and oversight across multiple concurrent initiatives, including the NSF-funded SAFE-AI (Sandbox for Accelerated Feedback and Experimentation for AI Innovation), National Data Platform (NDP), and PARAPET (Prototype Architecture for Research Advances Using Privacy Enhancing Technologies) programs.
The Software Development Engineer III operates with minimal supervision and substantial independence, serving as a highly skilled technical professional responsible for complex software engineering efforts and technical decision-making. The Software Development Engineer IV serves as a recognized subject matter expert and senior technical leader, providing strategic direction, architectural leadership, and mentorship while driving the development of advanced cyberinfrastructure and software platforms critical to organizational and national research priorities.
