Software Engineer (New Grad)

General Matter enriches uranium.

We are designing, building, and operating the world’s lowest-cost enrichment services, here in the US.

In the process, we are restoring America’s ability to produce nuclear fuel to power AI, advanced manufacturing and critical industries our country relies on to remain competitive.

Fuel drives the cost of advanced reactor electricity production, and enrichment drives the cost of the fuel that advanced reactors consume. Reliable, low-cost enrichment is the catalyst for the nuclear Renaissance now under way.

Our mission is to make nuclear not only the cleanest and safest source of baseload power, but also the most affordable. We believe abundant nuclear energy will lead to a post-scarcity society.

We were incubated inside Founders Fund, like Anduril and Palantir before us, and are backed by over a dozen of the world's top venture capital firms.

Our lean, world-class team of engineers and operators is applying a first-principles approach to solving the problem of nuclear fuel production.

We are a mission-driven company with a culture of urgency, accountability, and transparency.

Help us build a high-energy society by making the cleanest, safest form of baseload energy the most affordable.

We’re looking for an early-career Software Engineer who is excited to build software that directly enables advanced enrichment technology and the systems used to develop, test, and operate it.

As a Software Engineer at General Matter, you’ll work alongside electrical, mechanical, test, and other engineering teams to develop software for real-world technical systems. Your work may span data acquisition and analysis, hardware interfaces, automation, internal engineering tools, test infrastructure, and production systems.

You’ll have the opportunity to own meaningful projects from design through deployment, work closely with the hardware your software supports, and see the impact of your work firsthand. This is a strong opportunity for a recent graduate who enjoys solving challenging problems, learning across disciplines, and building reliable software in a fast-moving engineering environment.

• Design, develop, test, deploy, and maintain software supporting engineering, test, and operational systems.

• Build tools and applications that interface with hardware, instrumentation, controls, and data acquisition systems.

• Develop software to automate testing, experiments, data collection, analysis, and engineering workflows.

• Collaborate closely with engineers across software, electrical, mechanical, controls, test, and other technical disciplines.

• Translate engineering requirements into reliable, maintainable software solutions.

• Debug problems across software and hardware boundaries and help identify root causes.

• Develop tests, monitoring, and tooling to improve software and system reliability.

• Participate in design reviews, code reviews, testing, and technical documentation.

• Take ownership of projects and drive them from initial concept through implementation and deployment.

• Learn new technologies and technical domains quickly as project needs evolve.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field completed by the start date.

• Experience programming in one or more general-purpose languages such as Python, C++, C, Rust, Go, or Java through coursework,
