Overview

We are seeking a Software Engineer to help create and improve large-scale models and simulations, supporting decision-makers in areas such as urban planning, transport, and infrastructure. You will work as part of a multidisciplinary team to develop high-performance simulation software, integrate data pipelines, and ensure that models can run efficiently at scale.Key Responsibilities

Work with applied scientists to take models from prototype stage to production-ready software.Develop and implement computational models for large-scale social and urban “Digital Twin” simulations.Build and optimise data pipelines to extract, synthesise, and integrate data from various sources.Scale and refine agent-based models incorporating real-world data and complex behaviours.Track and improve model performance to enable greater complexity and realism.Generalise and abstract existing models to allow re-use across different projects and geographies.Contribute to the full development lifecycle, including testing, documentation, security, and performance.What We’re Looking For

Strong experience coding in modern C++ (or a comparable systems programming language such as Rust).Knowledge of low-level performance concepts such as SIMD, cache locality, and memory access patterns.Python for scripting and prototyping.Experience with agent-based modelling or entity-component-system (ECS) frameworks.Background in writing production-quality code and scaling models to work with very large datasets.Knowledge of distributed systems and data engineering (Kafka, pipelines, metadata management).Experience with containerised deployments (Docker, Kubernetes, Helm).Strong collaboration skills, with a focus on sharing knowledge and working as part of a team.A holistic approach to software engineering that considers testing, documentation, performance, and security.Seniority level
