What’s the role

You’ll join a department united by a singular objective: to enhance the racing car's performance by maximising downforce, minimising drag, and improving its overall speed. Everyone has a role to play – and an impact on the final result. Here, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

Your focus:

As a member of the Platform Team, you will play a crucial role in the design, deployment, and management of software infrastructure that supports our software developers and data scientists.

Your primary responsibility will be implementing, maintaining and enhancing the productivity of the development teams by implementing robust, scalable, and secure technology solutions within the aerodynamicists in continuously refining and advancing performance.

You’ll be working under the guidance of the Head of Technology, and collaborating with a highly skilled group, each with diverse ideas and perspectives to bring to the table. It’s a fantastically friendly and collaborative environment where you can really broaden your professional horizons.

INVESTMENT IN INNOVATION:The business is investing in what’s already a highly skilled team to fuel continuous performance improvements. The experience and insights you gain here will help you accelerate your career.

What you can add

Beyond that, we’re looking for as many as possible of the following on your CV:

• An academic background in a relevant field (Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Physics, e.g) or experience working in the F1/Motorsport industry or an engineering-intensive sector such as Aerospace, Automotive, Aviation, or Defense.
