C++ | HPC | Distributed Systems | CI/CD | Software Architecture | Performance Optimisation | Build Systems
 
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 their 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
