Many see the position of software engineers as being behind the scenes but in motorsport, race set up, strategy and management software drives almost all decisions made both before, during and after a race. The majority of major race teams have bespoke software platforms which rely on dedicated support from experienced software engineers and candidates are in high demand. Motorsport software jobs range from entry-level Junior Software Developer positions where programming skills are more important than experience in motorsport engineering, to project-based roles where a good understanding of mechanical engineering principles will be required.
