About this role
Job Title: Computational Scenario & Algorithm Engineer (m/f/d) – Real Estate
Optimization
Reference ID: IRIS-KHI-ALGO-05
Location: Karachi Hub, Pakistan (DHA Phase 1 / Phase 2)
Contract Type: Full-time
Organization: IRIS – Institut für Resilienz, Innovation und Nachhaltigkeit
Application Channel: (Subject: Application IRIS-KHI-ALGO-05 – [Your Name])
About the Organization
The IRIS – Institut für Resilienz, Innovation und Nachhaltigkeit conducts scientific and applied research into algorithmic decision-making, automated site feasibility, and sustainable structural optimization. We combine spatial constraints, regulatory boundaries, and construction metrics to computationally model future-proof development scenarios.
Role Overview
As a Computational Algorithm Engineer, you will develop mathematical models and algorithmic scripts that simulate alternative building layouts, floor area ratios (BGF/BRI), and economic optimization scenarios for land parcels.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop computational logic to simulate building massing, setback constraints, and maximum buildable volumes based on parcel geometries.
- Build mathematical evaluation models for multivariate scenario comparisons (e.g., Best-Case vs. Middle-Case commercial vs. mixed-use developments).
- Interlink spatial building volumes with structured construction cost indices (German DIN 276 cost groups) to generate dynamic cost models.
- Create parameter scripts and automated reporting outputs for feasibility analysis.
- Collaborate closely with BIM modelers, data engineers, and research directors.
Requirements & Qualifications
- Degree in Computational Design, Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, Computational Engineering, or Architecture with an intensive programming focus.
- Strong proficiency in Python, C#, or TypeScript; familiarity with computational geometry libraries or parametric modeling (Grasshopper/Rhino.Compute) is highly advantageous.
- Solid mathematical foundations in optimization algorithms, geometry processing, and multivariate numerical analysis.
- Ability to translate architectural planning regulations into structured code constraints.
- Fluent written and verbal communication in English.
What We Offer & Career Pathways
- Compensation: Top-tier local remuneration reflecting algorithmic and computational expertise.
- Modern Work Hub: Reliable, modern, air-conditioned workspace in DHA Karachi with high-speed fiber infrastructure and power backup.
- Sustainable Career Track: Clear promotion tracks into Algorithm Lead or Scientific Computing Lead in Karachi, with ongoing exposure to European construction standards, research publications, and advanced modeling systems.
- The International Research Track (§ 18d AufenthG): Outstanding candidates demonstrating mathematical rigor and successful delivery over 3–6 months can qualify for direct transfer to Germany as a Research Associate under § 18d AufenthG, including dedicated administrative assistance, visa handling, and housing / accommodation support on-site.
