Senior Software Engineer

Build software that makes a difference — lap by lap.

Atlassian Williams F1 Team is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Software Development group. You'll be part of a team building bespoke, high-quality software that directly supports our Engineering and Operations functions — from aerodynamics and vehicle dynamics to real-time race data and performance analysis. At Williams, software is a competitive weapon, and the work you do will have a tangible impact both in the factory and on track.

You’ll work across a diverse and technically interesting software estate, collaborating closely with product managers, engineers, and specialist users to understand their needs and deliver solutions that genuinely make their work better. Our stack includes desktop applications in C# and C++, web applications in React, Python-based analysis tools, and a range of backend services in C#. We're also on an active modernisation journey, adopting cloud-native technologies and modern data platforms — so there's real opportunity to shape how we build and grow.

• Understanding the needs of a wide range of users across Williams Racing and translating them into clear technical specifications
• Developing, implementing, and maintaining innovative software solutions alongside the wider Software Development team
• Enhancing existing systems to improve reliability, performance, and adaptability as requirements evolve
• Collaborating with other technology groups to enhance and develop shared data platform services
• Conducting code reviews and mentoring junior developers, championing best practices and raising overall quality
• Contributing to the definition and documentation of preferred software designs, patterns, and architectures
• Streamlining development processes to help the team deliver more to its customers
• Providing application support during race weekend events where required

What we’re looking for

• A degree in Computer Science or a related field involving software development
• Strong software development experience in one or more of: C#, Go, Java, C++, Python, or Type Script
• Familiarity with software process management tools and source control, such as Azure Dev Ops and Git
• A collaborative, curious approach to problem-solving with excellent communication skills — including the ability to convey technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders
• Adaptability and a readiness to learn new technologies quickly
• A genuine desire to build impactful solutions for specialist engineering users

The following would be a bonus, though not essential:

• Experience with containerisation, Dev Ops, and cloud platforms such as Azure or AWS
• Familiarity with logging, monitoring, and observability tooling
• Experience using document, object, or time-series data stores
• A background in or exposure to aerodynamics, data science, vehicle dynamics, or computer simulations

Why Williams Racing?

You’ll be working with one of the most specialised and technically demanding user bases in sport. The problems are genuinely hard, the environment is fast-moving, and the impact of your work is visible — on timing screens around the world. If you’re a software engineer who wants to do meaningful work in an extraordinary setting, we’d love to hear from you.

Atlassian Williams F1 Team is an equal opportunity employer that values diversity and inclusion. We are happy to discuss reasonable job adjustments.
