• Experience in object-oriented programming and data-oriented design.
• Development experience in modern C++23 and Python.
• Familiarity with containerization (e.g., Docker, Singularity).
• Experience with modern CI/CD practices (e.g., GitHub Actions or GitLab CI).

The Ideal Candidate Would Have

• A background in CFD in porous media.
• Demonstrated expertise in high-performance computing (HPC).
• Experience with pore-scale or reservoir-scale flow simulator development, customization, or automation of simulation workflows is highly desirable.
• An understanding of computational graph theory and network analysis.
• Programming experience in Python, C/C++, Fortran, MATLAB, or similar languages for reservoir simulation, data processing, model calibration, or workflow automation.
• Experience utilizing computational linear algebra libraries (e.g., BLAS, LAPACK, HYPRE).
• Experience with large-scale flow models or physics-informed neural networks for multiphase flow modeling is a plus.
