I'm trying to do something simple, just create two pods within a job. I'm looking at the documentation here: https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/workloads/controllers/job/#single-job-starts-controller-pod

While the documentation discusses parallelization it doesn't give much in the way of examples. The only example with one pod is given as:

apiVersion: batch/v1
kind: Job
metadata:
  name: pi
spec:
  template:
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: pi
        image: perl
        command: ["perl",  "-Mbignum=bpi", "-wle", "print bpi(2000)"]
      restartPolicy: Never
  backoffLimit: 4

To create two pods I attempted effectively this:

apiVersion: batch/v1
kind: Job
metadata:
  name: pi
spec:
  template:
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: pi1
        image: perl
        command: ["perl",  "-Mbignum=bpi", "-wle", "print bpi(2000)"]
      restartPolicy: Never
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: pi2
        image: perl
        command: ["perl",  "-Mbignum=bpi", "-wle", "print bpi(2000)"]
      restartPolicy: Never
  backoffLimit: 4

But that didn't get me two pods, instead it appears that only the second container ran in one pod.

It's not clear to me how I get my job to launch multiple pods. My pods don't need to run on the same machine, but they each need a unique environment variable to be set so the pods know what part of the work to do. The work is divided in an embarrassingly parallel way and with a fixed number of pods (2 in this example).
