C++ / Python Programmer

The first project involves maintaining and enhancing C++ and Python codebases for large-scale public transit routing and simulation models. (see https://github.com/transnetlab for examples) The project is funded by the Ministry of Education (MoE), Scheme for Transformational and Advanced Research in Sciences (STARS) program.

The second project involves profiling and optimization of Python and C++ codebases that are used to predict travel demand and network flows in city-scale mobility models.

The initial appointment will be for one year (with a probation period of two months), extendable based on performance and funding. Salary will be based on educational qualifications and MoE norms.
