Your role
Key responsibilities in your new role

• Tool Development: Write, maintain, and optimize backend code and command-line interfaces (CLI) using Python and C++ to simplify complex engineering setups.
• Cross-Platform Engineering: Help refactor legacy scripts to ensure they run flawlessly on both Windows (WSL2) and Linux environments by replacing hardcoded OS dependencies with dynamic environment variables.
• Data Interoperability: Work with data serialization formats (JSON, XML, YAML) to help standardize how different simulation tools communicate and pass data to one another automatically.
• CI/CD & Automation: Write automated validation scripts ("linters") that run in our Jenkins CI/CD pipelines to catch errors, enforce coding standards, and prevent bad code from breaking the platform.
• User Experience (DX): Improve internal tool usability by catching software exceptions and writing clear, human-readable error messages and "fix hints" for users.
• Testing & QA: Write unit tests and assist in running automated stress tests to ensure software packages install and perform correctly under various conditions.
