The weaponization of AI is driving a paradigm shift in the cyber security industry from proactive to preemptive security: clients must now invest more intelligence and effort in understanding their vulnerabilities before their adversaries do (Open AI). The only way to achieve this is to simulate future attack scenarios at scale, and to run them in high fidelity digital replicas of production environments (Gartner/Forrester). SimSpace serves as the AI Proving Grounds to generate hypersynthetic data which pressure tests controls, tools, teams, and agentic capabilities in full kill chain attacks hidden in realistic environmental traffic and patterns of life.

Founded in 2015 by experts from U.S. Cyber Command and MIT Lincoln Laboratory, the platform was initially conceived to assist in Offensive Cyber Operations (OCO), to quickly replicate target environments to conduct mission rehearsal of human operators and their tools to deny (disrupt, degrade, destroy) or deceive (manipulate or exfiltrate data) adversaries. The company has since expanded to serve over a dozen allied governments in OCO/DCO as well as critical infrastructure enterprises around the world. The company is actively investing in the Americas, Asia Pacific, Europe and the Middle East through direct sales and channel partners. SimSpace has launched the AI Proving Grounds Consortium, leading the revolution by creating an open platform for the InfoSec ecosystem to train, validate and operationalize their agentic capabilities before committing to production.

Why join SimSpace?

We are a team united by a shared purpose and four core values: Serve to Protect, Acquire Understanding, Teamwork without Borders, and Operate as Innovators.

We are looking for a Senior Full Stack Engineer to build the operator experience for SimSpace’s internet simulation platform. This engineer will turn the platform’s control-plane capabilities into intuitive workflows for configuring simulated services, registering personas, managing topology, provisioning applications, integrating ranges, and monitoring platform state.

The role will work closely with the backend engineer who owns the control-plane API, event-driven orchestration, persistence, and deployment model. While the primary focus will be building the frontend experience in React and TypeScript, this engineer will also contribute to backend services and integration layers where needed. The ideal candidate is comfortable moving across the stack, translating complex distributed-system behavior into clear user experiences, and building interfaces that remain understandable when operations are asynchronous, long-running, or partially successful.

What you will help build

The web-based operator experience for configuring and managing the internet simulation platform across multiple ranges and environments

React and TypeScript workflows for creating services, registering personas, managing topology, provisioning simulated SaaS applications, delivering scenario content, and querying platform state

Reusable frontend architecture, components, and design patterns that support a growing collection of platform capabilities

Integration between the frontend and the control-plane API, including authentication, authorization, validation, error handling, asynchronous operations, and real-time status updates

Operational views that make platform state, deployment health, range connectivity, failures, and recovery actions understandable to users
