Lead Modelling Software Engineer
Manchester | Office day once every 2 months | Salary to be discussed on qualification with benefits ✨
I'm working with an exciting technology business focused on helping accelerate the transition to low-carbon heating. Their technology is already being used across connected devices, and they're now looking for a Lead Modelling Software Engineer to take ownership of the modelling and optimisation engines behind the platform.
This isn't a typical software engineering role.
You'll be working where mathematical modelling, physics, software engineering and real-world IoT data come together.
What you'll be working on:
You'll own the full lifecycle of the modelling software — taking ideas from research and simulation through to production and then monitoring how they perform in the real world.
You'll be:
- Building and improving mathematical models around thermal dynamics and heating behaviour
- Developing optimisation algorithms using real-world sensor and telemetry data
- Translating mathematical models and control theory into robust Python software
- Working with historical weather, energy, tariff and smart meter data to test and validate models
- Building simulation and testing environments
- Improving the reliability and performance of models running across thousands of connected devices
- Working closely with the wider engineering team and taking technical ownership of projects
- Supporting the evolution of the modelling platform, including work moving from Python towards C++
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What we're looking for:
We're looking for someone with strong Python and mathematical modelling experience who enjoys taking complex models and turning them into production-ready software.
You'll ideally have experience with:
- Strong Python
- NumPy, Pandas and SciPy
- Mathematical modelling, optimisation or numerical methods
- Dynamical systems / control theory
- Model Predictive Control (MPC) would be highly beneficial
- Software engineering best practice, testing and CI/CD
- Working with real-world or physical systems/data
- Technical leadership or ownership of projects
- AWS experience would be useful, but isn't essential.
- C/C++ experience would also be a bonus, but they're happy to support someone in developing this skill.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
A Master's or PhD in Mathematics, Physics, Engineering or another highly quantitative discipline would be advantageous, but strong relevant commercial experience is equally important.
This is an opportunity to have genuine ownership over a core piece of technology rather than working on another feature in a large engineering organisation. You'll be working directly with the Head of Engineering, leading technically and managing one engineer, while remaining hands-on with the modelling and software yourself.
