The Brief

We are seeking a passionate and skilled Software Engineer to join our Forecasting and Simulation team. In this role, you’ll help design, develop, and scale simulation systems that digitally replicate real-world environments, assets, and systems. Your work will enable predictive analysis, real-time monitoring, and scenario testing — helping inform mission-critical decisions.

This is a high-impact, hands-on engineering role for someone excited about complex systems, modeling real-world behavior, and building robust simulation engines or platforms.

What I'll be doing – your accountabilities / responsibilities?

• Design and develop simulation engines, tools, and infrastructure to support digital twin applications.
• Build scalable software systems that model physical, operational, and behavioural characteristics of real-world systems.
• Collaborate with domain experts to translate real-world systems into digital representations.
• Integrate simulation engines with real-time data sources (IoT, sensors, APIs) for dynamic updates and predictive modeling.
• Develop and optimize algorithms for discrete-event simulation, agent-based modeling.
• Support scenario testing, what-if analysis, and optimization workflows using simulation outputs.
• Ensure models are modular, extensible, and easily integrated with external services/platforms (e.g., dashboards, analytics, AI agents).
• Contribute to technical documentation and simulation framework architecture.

Foundational / Must Have Skills

• Lead all aspects of Software Development Lifecyle (SDLC) in-line with Agile and IT craftsmanship principles
• Constantly learn technologies and mentor teams, be a leader & drive the culture of researching & implementing in products
• Write secure, scalable & clean code along with unit tests
• Perform code reviews and ensure the quality of code, constantly!
• Troubleshoot, debug and upgrade software & infrastructure. Thrive in a DevOps culture where we build & support the application E2E
• Proficiency in Python, C++, or Rust (Python preferred for data-driven simulations).
• Experience with simulation frameworks (e.g., SimPy, AnyLogic, Unity, Gazebo, OpenModelica, Dymola, or custom-built engines).
• Strong grasp of system modeling, discrete event systems, or continuous system dynamics.
• Understanding of software design patterns, data structures, and algorithms.

Nice to Have

• Familiarity with IoT data pipelines, message brokers (MQTT, Kafka), or real-time data integration.
• Exposure to multi-agent systems, reinforcement learning, or optimization libraries (e.g., Pyomo, OR-Tools).
• Background in industries like logistics and supply chain.
• Experience working with cloud platforms (AWS/GCP/Azure) and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes).

Qualifications & Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Applied Math, Physics.
• 5+ years of experience in software engineering with a focus on simulation, modeling, or complex systems.
• Experience with collaborative development workflow: IDE (Integrated Development Environment), Version control(github), CI/CD (e.g. automated tests in github actions)
• Communicate effectively with technical and non-technical audiences with experience in stakeholder management
• Structured, highly analytical mind-set and excellent problem-solving skills;
• Self-starter, highly motivated & Willing to share knowledge and work as a team.
