Infrastructure Architect

Our Infrastructure Architect serves as the critical technical expert responsible for all post-sales deployment and integration of the Epistemix platform into client infrastructure. This is a highly technical, hands-on role.

You will be the vital link between our product's architecture and our clients' varied technical landscapes. This role requires the ability to be both a hands-on architect and navigating complex client IT, security, and application environments (AWS, GCP, private cloud, or on-prem) to successfully deploy our product and ensure immediate value realization.

About Epistemix

Epistemix helps organizations forecast outcomes and manage risk by modeling how people behave. Our platform consists of two core products: Populus, which provides access to realistic, high-resolution synthetic population data, and Polaris, which enables scenario planning through advanced data science and simulation. Together, they empower customers to evaluate the potential impact of strategies before deploying them in the real world.

Organizations across healthcare, consumer industries, insurance, and government use Epistemix to reduce uncertainty, optimize decisions, and accelerate time to value. Whether estimating total addressable market, testing public health interventions, or forecasting behavior change, our tools help teams make confident decisions when pre-existing data may not exist.

Leading up to our Series B financing, we are hiring key roles onto the team and entering an exciting phase of growth and innovation. Join us to combine cutting-edge technology with a purpose-driven mission to make the world a better place.
