Software Engineer, Agentic Modeling & Simulation joins the Frontier AI team to build 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 develop multi-agent architectures that model human decision-making and adversary responses while building backend services for scenario creation, entity tasking, and real-time analysis. The core objective is to shorten military planning cycles by integrating physics-backed simulation with AI-assisted tools. Key responsibilities include developing agentic workflows accessible via natural language and APIs, and integrating LLM tool use, RAG, and planning loops with simulation engines. Required skills include proficiency in Python or Go, experience with LLM-powered software like function calling and orchestration, and knowledge of systems such as AFSIM and STORM to solve complex problems in the defense domain.
