Job Description:
Software Engineer (Python)
3-year programme | Inside IR35 | Hybrid
Python | C++ | Urban Digital Twins | Model Optimisation | Simulation Engineering | Kafka | Production ML
SR2 is working with a global consultancy on a ground-breaking urban digital twins project for a major city modernising its infrastructure. With significant investment backing, this programme aims to optimise foot traffic, vehicle flow, energy consumption, and city-wide systems performance.
We’re looking for a Software Engineer with strong Python skills and experience working alongside data scientists to optimise and productionise ML models. The core simulation engine is built in C++, so experience with C++ in high-performance environments is a major plus.
Key Responsibilities:
* Work with data science teams to optimise predictive models and deploy them at scale
* Build robust, scalable services in Python, with performance-critical elements in C++
* Contribute to the development of a digital twin platform to simulate and forecast city infrastructure outcomes
* Collaborate across simulation, data, and software teams to turn prototypes into production-ready solutions
* (Bonus) Integrate streaming data pipelines using Kafka to support real-time modelling
Experience:
* Strong commercial experience in Python engineering
* Exposure to C++, especially in simulation, modelling, or high-performance systems
* Proven track record working closely with data scientists to bring models into production
* Background in simulation-heavy domains (e.g., finance, oil & gas, energy, transport)
* Experience with Kafka or distributed messaging systems is highly desirable
* Systems thinker — interested in how predictive models drive real-world infrastructure impact
The Details:
* Inside IR35
* £600-650p/d
* 2 days per week in central London
* Start: ASAP
* 6-month rolling contracts
* 3-year programme of work
If you're a software engineer who thrives on turning models into high-impact systems — and you’re excited by simulation, real-time data, and engineering for real-world infrastructure — please apply and Emma from SR2 will contact potential candidates regarding next steps. #J-18808-Ljbffr
