At Atlassian Williams Racing, we’re seeking a Senior Software Engineer with a proven track record of solving difficult technical problems. You will have experience building scalable and performant systems, balancing short term incremental wins against long term architectural improvements.  

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 

Our Software Stack: 

We use the right tool for the job. Our current stack includes: 

C++, Rust and F# for high-performance desktop and backend applications 
Typescript/React for web-based UIs 
Python for analysis, tooling, and rapid prototyping 
Cloud-native services (Azure, Docker, Kubernetes) alongside HPC and on-prem systems 
Data transport via WebSockets, TCP, and custom protocols for real-time telemetry and control 

You’ll Be a Great Fit If You Have: 

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 

We’d welcome further experience in: 

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 

 

This is a rare opportunity to push the limits of engineering software in one of the world’s most competitive environments. If you're driven by technical excellence and excited by the challenge of solving physics-driven problems at speed, we want to hear from you.
