About Proxima Fusion
We're building the world's first commercial stellarator fusion power plant. We are the first spin-out from the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics, based on Wendelstein 7-X (the largest stellarator ever built). We have raised over €650M and have teams based in Munich, Zurich, and Oxford.
About the Role
Finding a good stellarator design means searching an enormous high-dimensional space, and every candidate design needs heavy plasma physics simulation. This role owns that compute problem, including:
- Cloud & HPC clusters
- K8s, Ray, and Dask
- Platform engineering: CI/CD, IaC, and observability
You will sit directly next to the physicists and AI researchers burning through that compute, allowing you to see exactly what your infrastructure unlocks.
Requirements
- Proficiency in Python and Linux.
- Strong background in platform engineering.
- A desire to apply your skills toward clean, abundant energy.
