Our client combines distributed computing, simulation and machine learning to recreate the second by second dynamics of city transport networks. These mirror worlds give both people and autonomous agents the ability to foresee the near future of the flows of people, goods and vehicles in the environment around them and adjust their behaviour accordingly.

Using this technology, they've developed an autonomous fleet scheduling and dispatch system that's being adopted by some of the biggest public transport operators in Europe. Now looking for a great frontend developer to help roll out this system to more clients.

A fast growing and diverse team of urban modelling experts, software engineers and data scientists, driven by a shared desire to improve the world around them, to bring something impactful and unique to market and to create a rewarding, fun, working environment. The culture is built around mutual respect, a drive to delight customers and a passion for innovation. They value independent thinking, hard work and honesty.
