Rescale builds a cloud platform powering computational R&D - advanced simulation, applied AI, and HPC workflow orchestration - for industries including aerospace, automotive, energy, and life sciences.
Rescale runs a cloud platform for computational R&D - think aerospace simulations, automotive crash modeling, energy exploration, drug discovery pipelines. The threat surface is real: you're protecting infrastructure that handles proprietary engineering data, AI physics models, and HPC workloads across industries where IP is the business. Engineers work in small, cross-functional teams owning features end-to-end, blending cloud-native development with deep HPC and simulation engineering. The technical stack spans applied AI, advanced simulation, and workflow orchestration at scale.
The platform sits at the intersection of high-performance computing and cloud orchestration, serving sectors like aerospace, automotive, energy, life sciences, and manufacturing. Security here means safeguarding the computational pipelines that run breakthrough simulations - proprietary models, sensitive R&D data, and the infrastructure that ties it all together. The culture prioritizes learning and autonomy: engineers pair across domains, from frontend to HPC specialists to data scientists, optimizing for focus over facetime.
Rescale's stated mission is democratizing access to high-performance computing, which means scaling security controls across a multi-tenant platform without throttling the very performance customers pay for. Backend performance and simulation engineering aren't abstract concerns - they're the product. If you're drawn to securing systems where the stakes are measured in computational throughput and IP protection, not just compliance checkboxes, the work here has clear technical weight.
