Canopy careers
Working at Canopy
Canopy Simulations is a small, natively remote company that provides a web platform for running our in-house motorsport simulations at scale in the cloud.
Canopy was founded in the UK in 2015 and has grown organically, supported by revenue, ever since. We are widely known and respected in the motorsport industry as the leading provider of motorsport simulation, supplying every major series and OEM.
In April 2023 Canopy became part of the Michelin Group, so while we maintain our scale-up ethos, we enjoy the support and opportunities conferred by being part of an established global organisation.
At Canopy you'll be working with some of the biggest brands in motorsport, shaping the future of the most advanced motorsport simulation available, with long term ambitions ahead of in-house simulation teams.
We offer a generous remuneration package, an experience of the technological cutting edge, and a friendly working environment.
We are fully remote, and team members often work away from home or mix holidays and work to extend their leave. While we do offer lots of flexibility in terms of your place of work, you will be a PAYE employee and must therefore be tax resident in the UK. A week of in-person onboarding at a co-working space will be offered to get you up to speed, with regular opportunities to meet with your colleagues in person beyond that. We have the odd outing too – recently we've been karting, and played mini-golf and laser tag!
We stay connected using Slack, as well as regular video calls and catch ups, and we meet in person too. Some team members also use co-working spaces, which we are happy to fund.
Canopy creates the most advanced, reliable, and intuitive vehicle simulation package at all levels of motor racing. Our elite team of engineers collaborate to realise performance gains for teams at the cutting edge of motorsport. We look for engineers and developers with expertise in simulation development, vehicle dynamics, numerical modelling, optimal control theory, and commercial C++, as well as full stack developers expert in C#, .NET and Angular.
how to apply
We advertise open roles on Flexa. If you see a position that you'd like to apply for please email recruitment@canopysimulations.com with your (max) two page CV and a short cover note telling us why you’d be a good fit for Canopy.
No agencies please.
advice for students
Our engineers come from a range of educational backgrounds, but what they have in common is having a flare for maths and physics from an early age, and an interest in solving engineering's most complex problems.
If you want to pursue a career in motorsport engineering, there are certain UK universities that prepare students particularly well; Oxford, Cambridge, Southampton, Bath, Loughborough, Imperial, and Cranfield.
Canopy is part of the Tomorrow's Engineers Code, a community of more than 400 like-minded organisations committed to increasing the number and diversity of young people entering engineering and technology careers. Engineering UK also offers lots of great resources for educators and students considering their options, including this Routes to Engineering guide.
