In this role you might :

  • Software Engineers you'd collaborate with typically do the following :

  • Transform and optimize the storage and analysis of reactor data and physics results.
  • Design and configure CI / CD pipelines for multiphysics analyses.
  • Build and refine tools that empower reactor engineers to visualize, compare, and evaluate reactor designs.
  • Integrate simulation tools into our analytical pipelines.
  • Implement or enhance physics kernels to solve complex problems or boost performance.
  • Minimum Qualifications :

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Math, Physics, or equivalent software engineering or quality assurance experience.
  • Proficiency in Git and experience with CI / CD.
  • 5+ years of professional experience.
  • Experience with all stages of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC).
  • Proven track record in developing and implementing software quality assurance programs and testing, particularly in quality-focused industries.
  • Demonstrated ability to work cross-functionally as both a QA leader and a hands-on developer.
  • Bonus Qualifications :

  • Prior experience navigating quality assurance standards and frameworks (e.g., NQA-1, NIST, DO-178C, ISO 26262).
  • Background in growing small software organizations.
  • Knowledge of GitLab CI / CD.
  • Fluency in Python and a solid background in software development.
  • Proficiency in Rust.
  • Experience with Typescript / Javascript (especially Svelte).
  • Experience working with large data collection pipelines.
  • Familiarity with optimization, statistics, and design of experiments.
  • Curiosity and passion for nuclear power, closing the nuclear fuel cycle, and sustainable energy generation.
  • About Oklo compensation :

    Salary : $140,000-$180,000

    Salary may fall outside of the range provided and will be dependent on applicant experience.

    Oklo offers flexible time off, equity, competitive pay, 401k, health insurance, FSA, flexible work hours, and other benefits.

    About Oklo Inc. : Oklo Inc. is developing fast fission power plants to deliver clean, reliable, and affordable energy at scale; establishing a domestic supply chain for critical radioisotopes; and advancing nuclear fuel recycling to convert nuclear waste into clean energy. Oklo was the first to receive a site use permit from the U.S. Department of Energy for a commercial advanced fission plant, was awarded fuel material from Idaho National Laboratory, and submitted the first custom combined license application for an advanced reactor to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Oklo is also developing advanced fuel recycling technologies in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Energy and U.S. National Laboratories.

    Collaboration : We go further, together. We bring diverse perspectives, listen actively, and build trust through transparency and respect. We work across disciplines, sharing ownership to turn complex challenges into shared successes.

    Humility : We are team players who act for the good of the company and for the world. We are focused on our mission, not personal recognition.
