Vorticity is building new scientific computing technology for some of the world’s most challenging problems. We are looking for a Software Engineer to join our Applications team. You will work across mathematics, physics, and computer science to build, test, and improve scientific computing applications running on CPUs and GPUs.
This is a broad role on a small team. We are looking for someone who is smart, curious, practical, and excited to learn quickly and build useful technology. The right candidate does not need experience in any particular scientific domain. They should be interested in scientific computing and comfortable working on unfamiliar, multidisciplinary problems.
ResponsibilitiesDevelop scientific computing applications and numerical methods.
Measure, debug, optimize, and improve computational performance.
Work across research, software engineering, testing, and deployment.
Contribute wherever needed as the technology and team evolve.
Bachelor’s degree or higher in mathematics, physics, computer science, engineering, or another relevant technical field.
Strong Python programming skills.
A strong foundation in mathematics, physics, and computer science.
Ability to operate at multiple levels of abstraction in a complex software system.
Comfort working across disciplines and tackling unfamiliar problems.
Experience with CUDA or another GPU programming environment.
Familiarity with scientific computing, numerical methods, simulations, signal processing, or inverse problems.
Experience developing and maintaining production software.
Our Applications team builds scientific software on existing computing hardware while working closely with the broader company as we develop our own Scientific Processing Unit.
As passionate scientists and engineers, we are well aware of the plethora of critical problems in the world that cannot be solved because humanity simply does not have enough computing power. To address this, Vorticity is developing a radically new silicon chip architecture and system to dramatically accelerate scientific computing problems.
Vorticity’s mission is to expand human ingenuity. To do that we are building a team of exceptional people to work together on big problems. Join us!

Vorticity Inc. Insights
What We Do
Vorticity Inc. is redefining how the world tackles complex scientific and engineering problems. We design and build the full technology stack — from custom silicon to cloud-accessible software platforms — to accelerate physics-based simulation and data-intensive computation across industries. Our mission is to dramatically reduce the time and cost of scientific discovery by re-thinking every layer of the compute stack. We develop specialized processors and distributed systems optimized for solving large-scale partial differential equations (PDEs), enabling simulations that were once limited to supercomputers to run efficiently in the cloud. Our technology is used in aerospace, energy, geophysics, and life sciences, helping teams design faster, explore deeper, and understand more — from mapping mineral resources to modeling hypersonic flight or molecular dynamics. At Vorticity, we believe that innovation happens at the intersection of science, mathematics, and engineering. That’s why our team includes experts in computational physics, high-performance computing, and chip design, all working together to push the boundaries of what’s possible in simulation. Our ultimate goal: to make world-class scientific computing accessible, scalable, and transformative — empowering researchers and engineers everywhere to move from ideas to breakthroughs faster than ever before.
Why Work With Us
Vorticity is a place for people who love to solve hard problems — the kind that shape the future of science and technology. We’re building a team-first culture where curiosity, rigor, and creativity thrive.
