From The Nuclear Company's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
The Nuclear Company is the fastest growing AI tech-enabled startup in the nuclear and energy space, pioneering a fleet-scale approach to building the next generation of nuclear reactors. Through our design-once, build-many model, we're accelerating the deployment of safe, reliable, and affordable nuclear energy.
We operate with an AI-first mindset.
Every employee is expected to leverage AI, technology, and the Nuclear Operating System (NOS) as integral components of their role to improve the quality, speed, and impact of their work. We expect every team member to continuously identify opportunities to automate workflows, enhance decision-making, improve processes, and contribute to the ongoing evolution of NOS as a strategic operating capability that enables The Nuclear Company to scale with excellence.
We hire people who are driven by purpose, thrive in ambiguity, and are energized by building what has never been built before.
Our team combines intellectual curiosity with high agency, embraces candid feedback and continuous learning, and holds themselves and others to exceptional standards. Our values—
Transparency, Responsibility, Unity, Scrappiness, and Tenacity
—guide how we hire, collaborate, and make decisions every day. They are not words on a wall; they are the standard by which we operate. TRUST is the foundation of our safety culture, fostering intellectual honesty, accountability, and open communication, while our values challenge every team member to execute with urgency, humility, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to our mission.
The Nuclear Company is hiring a Platform Engineer to build and run the backend, data, and integration layers that NOS depends on. You will report to the Director of Platform Integrations and work in the Platform Integration & AI/Data squad. NOS is the software platform behind one of the largest nuclear buildouts in the United States, and the platform layer is what keeps it fast, reliable, and connected to the systems around it.
This is a hands-on engineering role. You will own CI/CD, build and maintain the data and application integrations that tie NOS to internal systems and external sources, and keep the unified front-end interface and platform services performing under load. You will also help shape the data ontology and MCP design that let AI agents work against NOS data safely.
You will work daily with data scientists, AI/ML engineers, product engineers, and nuclear domain experts. You write production code, review pull requests, debug across the stack, and hold the line on configuration management and platform maintenance as new capabilities ship.
Estimated Starting Salary Range
The estimated starting salary range for this role is $133,000 - $181,000 annually less applicable withholdings and deductions, paid on a bi-weekly basis. The actual salary offered may vary based on relevant factors as determined in the Company’s discretion, which may include experience, qualifications, tenure, skill set, availability of qualified candidates, geographic location, certifications held, and other criteria deemed pertinent to the particular role.
