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

· 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.
