We’re working with a pioneering motorsport technology provider that’s transforming how top-tier race teams unlock vehicle performance. Their advanced simulation tools are used at the highest levels of the sport — including Formula E, IndyCar, WEC, and Formula 1. We are seeking a Simulation Software Engineer to help design, develop and optimise high-performance software used in complex motorsport engineering environments.
This role would suit a motivated software engineer with a background in C++ development, high-performance computing (HPC), simulation, real-time systems, gaming technology, control systems, or scientific software. You will play a key role in shaping software architecture, improving performance and reliability, and driving engineering best practice across the development lifecycle.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Architecting and developing scalable simulation software platforms
- Enhancing software performance, modularity, testability and maintainability
- Contributing to code reviews, technical discussions and software design decisions
- Supporting and improving build systems, development pipelines and CI/CD processes
- Developing testing, benchmarking and deployment tooling for HPC environments
- Working with modern software development practices and emerging AI-assisted development tools
- Mentoring junior engineers and promoting engineering best practice
Technical Requirements
Applicants should have experience with most of the following:
- Commercial software development experience in C++
- Strong understanding of software design principles and architecture
- Source control, code review and collaborative development workflows
- Build systems, automated testing and CI/CD pipelines
- Performance optimisation and debugging
- Interest in distributed systems, HPC clusters and hardware-level optimisation
- Experience with C, Rust, Zig, containerisation, cross-platform deployment or low-level performance tuning would be advantageous.
Desirable Backgrounds
We are particularly interested in candidates from:
- High-performance computing
- Simulation and modelling software
- Video game or graphics engine development
- Real-time systems
- Control systems engineering
- Scientific or engineering software development
- Previous experience leading projects, owning technical systems, or mentoring engineers would be beneficial.
- Interest in motorsport and/or professional experience in motorsport, data science, vehicle engineering, or another related industry.
What’s on Offer
Salary range £55,000 - £85,000 dependent on experience level (appointment can be made from Software Engineer up to Lead Software Engineer level). Fully remote working and to hours that suit you (you really can work anywhere – some of the team base themselves from ski resorts, others from the beach).
