Re-architecting Engineering for the Age of Intelligence

PhysicsX is the physics AI company for industrials. The company’s mission is to accelerate hardware innovation by overhauling what industrial engineering and manufacturing look like today. PhysicsX is building a new simulation software stack to deliver deep physics AI enablement across the entire engineering lifecycle. The company partners with leading organisations in aerospace & defence, automotive, semiconductors, materials, and energy & renewables, supporting them on some of their most critical and complex challenges.

PhysicsX is headquartered in the United Kingdom, with offices in London, New York, and Singapore and an expanding presence in the Bay Area.

The role

You will own the Platform's secure software supply chain: the path from source to running, wherever customers run the Platform. You will own two existing products and incubate a third:

Cloud Developer Environment (CDE)

: the toolchain inside each customer's cluster. It lets users build software without becoming software engineers.

Release engineering

: how we ship the Platform to customers. It covers software as a service (SaaS), customer virtual private clouds (VPCs), data centres and export-controlled air-gapped sites.

Agentic software factory

: how PhysicsX builds and ships the Platform itself, with agents working alongside engineers. How technical context and recorded decisions to guide implementation, verification, testing and velocity.

What you will do

• Own discovery, priorities and roadmap for CDE and release engineering, while incubating the agentic software factory.
• Hide the developer toolchain from our users: environments, source control, artifact registries, builds and tests. Nobody should need to know what a container image is.
• Reduce the differences in release effort and timelines between connected and disconnected customer environments.
• Design the install experience with our deployment engineers, including remotely guided installs: clear prerequisites, checks before changes, and proof it worked.
• Define staged releases, canary releases and user acceptance testing (UAT) in the customer's environment before production.
• Make rollback safe and routine at every site.
• Make CDE and release engineering run fully disconnected, with no public-cloud dependencies, at sites no one from PhysicsX can reach.
• Make agents first-class users, with the same interfaces, identity and guardrails as people. They write code in the CDE and manage rollouts in release engineering.
• Use PhysicsX's internal experience to guide improvements to the products we ship to customers.
• Define how to measure the factory's impact on delivery speed and software quality.

What you bring

• Where you need to be strongest
• You are deeply technical. You understand continuous delivery, artifact supply chains and SDLC.
• You have product-managed developer platforms or software delivery tooling.
• You have shipped into environments you cannot reach directly: disconnected, regulated or customer-operated.
• You have turned internal tooling into a product other teams rely on.
• You have explored agentic coding or delivery workflows and can assess their limitations in an engineering team.
• Foundations
• Experience with enterprise security, compliance and change control.
• Products built for expert users who are not software engineers.
• Experience shaping a new team: scope, priorities and early hires.
• Clear communication that aligns teams.
• Nice to have
• Experience with engineering software, or a background in simulation, design or process engineering.
• A software engineering background, or experience building developer tooling.
• Software supply chain security: provenance, signing and vulnerability scanning.
• We value diversity and are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of sex, race, religion, ethnicity, nationality, disability, age, sexual orientation or gender identity. We strongly encourage individuals from groups traditionally underrepresented in tech to apply. To help make a change, we sponsor bright women from disadvantaged backgrounds through their university degrees in science and mathematics.
• We collect diversity and inclusion data solely for the purpose of monitoring the effectiveness of our equal opportunities policies and ensuring compliance with employment and equality legislation. This information is confidential, used only in aggregate form, and will not influence the outcome of your application.
