Senior Software Engineer

Our software, Toffee, is an engineering design tool that automatically creates mechanical components for the engineering industry. It leverages a combination of artificial intelligence, numerical simulation, and sophisticated mathematical optimisation techniques to design components that outperform their existing counterparts.

By bringing numerical simulation to the cloud, we create immense opportunities for the design engineer. At ToffeeX we are at the forefront of developing numerical methods for engineering design. We bring cutting edge research to industry through our cloud platform. Utilising a microservice architecture we continue to integrate and deploy mathematical optimisation modules, machine learning solutions and geometric manipulation algorithms through our flexible software pipeline.

Working closely with our clients, some of the biggest players in their industries, we revolutionise the user experience and automation in engineering software. At the same time, we design our architecture to industry leading reliability and security standards, essential to highly sensitive projects.

The position:

At ToffeeX, you will join a passionate team of software engineers, scientists, and academics. You will design high performing software solutions for cutting edge applications that range from supersonic aircraft to microprocessors and from Formula 1 cars to coffee pots!

• You will join a small, empowered software engineering team and contribute to all aspects of the design and architecture.
• You will be involved in the continuous development of our cloud-based software, working on the entire tech stack.
• You will be expected to write and maintain high quality code following best practices and share your knowledge with other members of the team.
• You will have the opportunity to propose and lead new projects through all stages of the CI/CD cycle.

As a young company we primarily look for flexible engineers that will fit well to our growing team. Some of the following experience and skills will be useful for the role along with the willingness to develop in other areas as needs arise.
