Job Description
Software Engineer | Python | C++ | Urban Digital Twins | Outside IR35
Model Optimisation | Simulation Engineering | Kafka | Production ML | Infrastructure Innovation
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 is looking at how to optimise everything from foot traffic and vehicle flow to 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 any experience with C++ in high-performance environments is a major plus.
Key Responsibilities:

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
- 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 (eg 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
