Senior Software Engineer

This is a hands-on role focused on enabling cutting-edge simulation, modelling, and real-time analysis systems critical to our competitive edge in Formula 1. You’ll work with a highly specialized user base including race engineers, vehicle dynamics engineers, and performance analysts, helping to design and optimize software that powers everything from vehicle simulations to trackside decision-making tools.

We believe data and compute-intensive software are core to our performance evolution, and your work will help us move faster and smarter, both virtually and physically.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Designing and implementing high-performance software components for simulation, data analysis, and operational decision support
• Extending existing codebases and building new tools that scale with complex engineering workloads
• Contributing to our real-time data infrastructure, including protocols for low-latency messaging and efficient data serialisation
• Mentoring developers and promoting software engineering best practices in a high-integrity, performance-critical environment
• Collaborating with domain experts to encode physical models, algorithms, and workflows into robust, maintainable code

• A degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Physics, Applied Mathematics or similar
• Experience of software development, testing, and CI in languages such as C++, Rust or F#, built upon a solid foundation in computing fundamentals – OS, CPUs, memory, networking
• A problem solving and adaptable mindset, a curiosity to understand how things work, and enthusiasm to learn new techniques and technologies.
• A passion for performance profiling, debugging, and squeezing the most out of CPU and memory
• Ability to work closely with engineers to translate complex requirements into well-structured software
• A track record of driving technical decision making, bringing fresh insight and perspective on problems

• Familiarity with time series databases or streaming telemetry platforms
• Interest or background in functional programming (e.g. F#, Haskell) or applying FP principles in hybrid environments
• Exposure to low-latency, real-time systems or embedded software
• Experience building or maintaining applications in simulation, optimization, signal processing, or related domains
• Domain experience in motorsport, aerospace, or similar high-performance industries
