Software Engineer, Agentic Modeling & Simulation joins the Frontier AI team to develop agentic modeling and simulation systems for operational planning. This role sits at the intersection of applied AI, backend systems, wargaming, and mission software. You will build multi-agent architectures that model human decision-making and adversary responses while integrating LLM tool use, function calling, RAG, and planning loops with physics-backed simulation engines. Day-to-day responsibilities include building backend services for scenario creation, entity tasking, and real-time analysis to shorten military planning cycles. The role requires proficiency in Python or Go, experience with gRPC, Kubernetes, and distributed systems. You will work on solving complex problems in the defense domain, utilizing tools like AFSIM and STORM to create inspectable, explainable agent behaviors for high-stakes environments where automated mission planning and situational awareness are critical.
