• Research, design and implement robust, scalable, high-performance computer algorithms

• Investigate state-of-the-art computational methods by reading relevant academic papers and attending appropriate workshops/conferences

• Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team including designers and software engineers in multiple locations

• Mentor junior staff and interns to reach their best potential

About you

• M.Sc./Ph.D. in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Mathematics, Physics or related disciplines - or equivalent experience

• Fluent in C++ and Python

• Computational geometry algorithms and methods

• Excellent knowledge of linear algebra and calculus and familiarity with mathematical optimization methods: Linear Programming, Mixed Integer Programming, Combinatorial Optimization, Constraint Programming, Dynamic Programming

• Expertise in API design, component architectures, principles of service-oriented software

• Experience using automated testing and continuous integration frameworks

• Exposure to software product development and delivery practices and related tools

• Research, design and performance optimization of complex algorithms

• Parallel computing methods and frameworks

• Familiarity with fundamental Modeling & Simulation principles and methods

Nice to have

These are the things you’re likely to work on, so if you have any experience in the following, great! If you don’t have experience in the following, we still encourage you to apply.

• Knowledge of core robotic aspects: inverse and forward kinematics, singularities, trajectory planning"

• Additional mathematical optimization methods: gradient estimation, Bayesian Optimization, metaheuristic optimization

• Mathematical modeling methods for complex regression tasks, Deep Learning

• Interactive 3D graphics and data visualization

• Numerical methods for solving partial differential equations problems

• Distributed computing

• GPU acceleration of numerical algorithms using CUDA/OpenCL

• Amazon Web Services APIs

• Lightweight virtualization technologies (Docker, etc.)

Our Team and Perks

• We are an open, collaborative, and supportive culture including skill shares, design critiques, and a bi-weekly reading group

• We believe that employees should be owners, which is why we provide stock option grants for full time employees

• We believe in support the health and wellbeing of our team, which is why we offer a competitive health benefits package

• We believe in balance and taking time to rest and recharge, which is why we offer 4 weeks vacation to all full-time employees plus an extra week off at the end of December.

• As a remote-first team, we believe in the importance of having the right set up, which is why we offer a home office budget

• Learning and development is critical to us, which is why we have a self-directed learning budget

About Byte-Code SpA and Augmenta

Byte-Code design, craft and run tailored SaaS platforms. We strongly believe that exceptional results can be reached only by outstanding teams. We aim to create cross functional teams where each member can thrive and contribute to a common goal.

Our partner Augmenta is an early stage startup founded by industry veterans and pioneers of novel design methods and technologies, building design automation tools that empower designers, engineers and planners to solve the most complex problems in their fields.

Starting with people’s goals & inspiration, its systems use AI and computational techniques to explore thousands of possible designs - developing solutions that far outperform what anyone could create on their own.

Augmenta's goal is to create a world where the extremely difficult problems that face humankind are regularly solved through a completely new holistic way of thinking about and seeing the world, and a strong combination of artificial intelligence, simulation, strategy, empathy and human centered design.

What we offer

We offer a permanent contract 40h/week. Our office is in Milan, but remote work is allowed.

Our vision is to be the place where a diverse mix of talented people want to come, to stay and do their best work. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, gender, identity, orientation, age or disability.
