Our mission is to remove the materials bottleneck so civilisation can advance at the speed of compute. We're a seed-stage company with a headcount of five, and have been around for a little over a year. In this time, we have: - - Built a distributed worker architecture to modularise computational materials science operations. - Scaled machine-learned interatomic potential (MLIP) models to enable multi-GPU inference, letting us model up to 700,000 atoms - Completed pilot projects across aerospace, defence, nuclear fusion, and advanced polymers. - Discovered (and are in the process of patenting) two materials, one of which is a high-temperature rare earth magnet substitute. - Everything modern depends on advanced materials, but materials development remains slow, expensive, and heavily constrained by physical trial and error. Atomic Tessellator is building a CAD-style simulation engine for materials discovery: computational infrastructure that lets organisations design, model, test, and optimise materials before committing to costly real-world experimentation. We're building a validated predictive engine and deploying it as secure infrastructure for teams that need reliable answers under real operational constraints. Materials resilience underpins industrial sovereignty and defence readiness. The organisations that can model and deploy advanced materials fastest will shape the next generation of strategic capability. About the role We're seeking a Lead LLM engineer to help accelerate our materials discovery pipelines and take our platform to the nex
