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. 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.

We offer a generous remuneration package, an experience of the technological cutting edge, and a friendly working environment.

Often team members 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.
