Nuclearn builds an AI platform that automates critical operational workflows for nuclear power plants.
<p> </p> <p><strong data-olk-copy-source="MessageBody">The Nuclear Company</strong> 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.</p> <p><strong>We operate with an AI-first mindset.</strong> 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.</p> <p><strong>We hire people who are driven by purpose, thrive in ambiguity, and are energized by building what has never been built before.</strong> Our team combines intellectual curiosity with high agency, embraces candid feedback and continuous learning, and holds themselves and others to exceptional standards. Our values—<strong>Transparency, Responsibility, Unity, Scrappiness, and Tenacity</strong>—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.</p> <p><strong><span class="TextRun SCXW174644119 BCX0" lang="EN-US" data-contrast="auto"><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW174644119 BCX0">About the role</span></span></strong></p> <p><span data-contrast="none">The Nuclear Company is hiring an AI Engineer to ship the machine learning and agent capabilities inside NOS, the software platform behind one of the largest nuclear buildouts in the United States.
