Applied Computing was founded in 2024 to build Orbital, a physics-informed foundation model for energy operations. We’re live across oil and gas, refineries, and petrochemicals, working towards our mission: sustainable abundance for a growing planet.

The hydrocarbon industry keeps the world running. But its complexity has left operators tied to legacy systems, making critical decisions on less than 10% of available data. We built Orbital to change that. It’s a foundation model built specifically for energy that lets companies use AI at scale, harnessing all of their operational
data and optimising in real time for any metric. Decisions get faster, operations get safer, and carbon intensity falls.

We’ve raised over $32 million, including one of the largest seed rounds for an
AI company in the UK. We’re just getting started

As a Senior Full Stack Engineer on the Core AI team, you will build the platform that makes Orbital a scalable product. You will own the internal application layers, developer facing APIs, shared UI components, and integration frameworks that power every Orbital deployment.

This is a product engineering role focused on building reusable systems. You will collaborate with AI research, Infra, and software teams to translate complex industrial workflows into reliable system components and intuitive user interfaces.

Your work will define how users interact with Orbital across control rooms, engineering teams, and cloud-based environments.

What Success Looks Like

• Orbital ships with high-quality dashboards and interfaces that users rely on daily
• Core APIs and services provide stable, well-documented contracts for AI, data, and automation features
• Frontend and backend codebases are modular, well-structured, and easy to extend
• Releases are frequent, reliable, and backed by strong CI/CD pipelines
• Features scale from one deployment to many without site-specific rework or bespoke

• Create internal tools and workflows that support multiple engineering and operational use cases without custom deployments

• Ensure all application layers meet strict standards for:

o Reliability
o Security
o Observability
o Performance
Across cloud and on-prem environments
