<h2>Overview</h2>Physical AI, a real model of the world, is the next trillion dollar opportunity and a foundational pillar for energy, robotics and superintelligence. At Jua we are building it now. Our models already run on four continents and help power the energy buildout needed to support ever larger intelligence. We are assembling a world-class team of researchers and entrepreneurial minds to turn this model into reality at global scale. If you want the opportunity of your life, come build physical AI with us.<h2>What we’re looking for</h2>We’re redefining earth simulation with machine learning, building a system that outperforms traditional models in speed, precision, and accuracy. Our team moves fast, leveraging a versatile tech stack and state-of-the-art cloud infrastructure to maximize performance and efficiency.We believe in using the right tools for the job. We are combining robust web technologies, advanced ML frameworks, and powerful numerical computing. With a focus on type-safe programming and infrastructure-as-code, we ensure scalability without excess complexity.As a Software Engineer, you’ll help shape our backend systems, pipelines, and cloud infrastructure. You’ll thrive in ambiguity, iterate fast, and turn ideas into working prototypes. If you have a hacker’s mindset, love building from scratch, and excel in lean, high-impact environments, we’d love to hear from you.<h2>Our Tech Stack</h2><ul style=""><li>Core Languages: Python is our go-to for backend development, data pipelines, and ML integration.

Jua.ai - Accuracy beyond expectation. Use beyond belief. The world's first end to end deep learning model for weather forecasting, delivered on an intuitive platform for anyone to customise it. Startups, governments and large companies alike can now develop global, high frequency and high accuracy weather models within days.
Jua&rsquo;s mission is focused on achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI) through a deep exploration of physics, the universe, and their interaction with the human civilisation. We are initially building the world's largest AI weather forecasting model so far and - to our knowledge - the first truly end to end one. This will help energy companies deal with weather volatility by way of significantly better and faster prediction as well as much more flexible extrapolation of insights.
