Description
SimSpace serves as an AI Proving Ground where organizations can confidently train, test, and outmaneuver adversaries in any environment. Trusted by allied governments, militaries, enterprises, and research institutions worldwide, SimSpace enables adaptive, AI-ready defenses that stay ahead of evolving threats. Founded in 2015 by experts from U.S. Cyber Command and MIT Lincoln Laboratory, the platform unifies training, testing, and validation in a realistic, live-fire simulation—helping teams evaluate security investments, optimize performance, and compress cyber readiness cycles from months to days. Why join SimSpace? We are an organization that is focused on building our culture and mindfully enhancing our atmosphere every day which is why we have collaborated on an integral value system. Our governing philosophy of being Human Centered is deeply embedded within our value system. We apply this philosophy to every one of our internal team members, external clients, and their customers. How Do We Work? We believe that people are at the center of everything we do. SimSpace fosters a culture of continuous learning, curiosity, and professional growth. That belief shows up in action: in-house training, internal and external learning platforms, cyber conferences, industry events, and dedicated time for skill development. Our people are empowered to shape their careers - and it shows. Year over year, SimSpace consistently outperforms industry benchmarks in internal mobility, promotions, and total rewards growth. Who Thrives Here? We are a team of innovators, protectors, and problem-solvers. We believe diversity of thought and experience fuels better solutions, and we’re committed to building teams that reflect the communities we serve. Whether you’re remote or office-based, you’ll collaborate with talented colleagues across departments and time zones, united by the mission to create a safer digital world. We invite you to apply today! We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to serve as the technical lead for SimSpace's internet simulation platform — the system that makes cyber range environments behave like the real internet at the network layer. This is foundational, novel work: you will be designing and building a kernel-level simulation layer that reproduces the observable behavior of worldwide internet routing — correct ASN topology, realistic inter-AS latency, accurate traceroute and MTR output — without instantiating a single virtual router. The approach is grounded in a patent pending eBPF-based architecture developed at SimSpace, and this role will take that proof of concept into a production-grade system. As the technical lead on a newly formed team, you will set architectural direction, mentor peer engineers, and partner closely with a Principal Engineer and your Engineering Manager to build something that does not yet exist at this fidelity in the industry. The team is responsible for: - A persistent, control-plane internet simulation service that serves multiple concurrent cyber ranges without per-range instantiation - An eBPF-based network simulation layer providing geographically accurate ASN routing, inter-AS latency enforcement, and traceroute and MTR fidelity entirely in kernel space - Lightweight in-range proxy agents that receive topology configuration from the control plane and handle local packet interception without requiring a full simulation stack in every range - A topology database encoding real-world ASN-to-CIDR mappings, inter-AS latency models, and geographic placement data that drives the simulation - Dynamic reconfiguration of the simulated internet topology at runtime without disrupting in-flight traffic   What will you be doing as a Senior Software Engineer, Network Simulation at SimSpace? - Own the end-to-end architecture of the eBPF-based routing simulation layer, including XDP and TC hook point design, BPF map structure, and synthetic ICMP TTL
