Systems Architect

OXMAN is seeking a System Architect to join the EDEN team as its first System Architect, owning the technical architecture across EDEN’s platform, science and applications teams.

This role sits at the intersection of systems engineering, scientific computing and applied AI. The System Architect will design and build the system that composes EDEN’s models, runs closed-loop simulation and optimization at scale, makes sure their results can be trusted, and delivers them to users through a single interface. The role is hands-on: the System Architect builds the first versions of the critical pieces themselves and makes the foundational decisions that are expensive to change later.

Few systems have to combine geospatial representation learning, physical simulation, mathematical optimization and AI agents while also producing results that hold up in the physical world. When models of microclimate, hydrology and ecological succession are chained over multi-year horizons, small errors can compound, and naive optimizers will happily exploit flaws in a learned surrogate rather than find designs that work in the field. The ideal candidate cares as much about whether a system’s outputs can be trusted as whether it runs, and understands that the architecture, search harness and validation guardrails they design will decide whether EDEN can grow from one validated application to many.
