  • • Lead the platform sub-team within Applied Science that helps build, deploy, and support Stand’s flagship physics simulations, digital twins, AI/ML models, and spatial intelligence.
  • • Own the technical direction, planning, and execution of critical platform initiatives — ensuring they align with Applied Science and companywide stakeholders, ship on schedule, and deliver measurable outcomes.
  • • Manage and grow the team — run 1:1s and growth conversations, give direct and timely feedback, manage performance, and mentor engineers as the team scales.

  • • Design and operate geospatial pipelines that merge heterogeneous spatial datasets into reproducible, production-grade workflows.
  • • Strengthen CI/CD and infrastructure reliability across simulation, digital-twin, and ML pipelines.
  • • Drive cross-functional alignment and set direction — coordinate across Applied Science and the business, communicate modeling decisions and tradeoffs, and articulate a multi-year vision for how the team’s work moves the business forward.

🎯 Requirements

  • • Experience leading engineers and technical initiatives, delivering complex projects through others as well as through direct individual contribution.
  • • 5+ years building production-grade data, simulation, or modeling pipelines with end-to-end automation, monitoring, and alerting.
  • • Strong project ownership and execution: planning, prioritization, stakeholder coordination, and delivery from concept through production.
  • • Proven ability to debug distributed, data-heavy systems — spanning APIs, preprocessing, modeling, and downstream consumers.
