Role Overview
You will work across several products and subsystems. Typical C++ assignments include: Server-side services and distributed networking, Device integration and data pipelines, Signal-processing components, C++ GUI maintenance and enhancement (existing graphical applications), Integration with Python and React front ends on products that use separate UI layers. Assignments depend on project priorities. Some codebases embed UI directly in C++; others pair a C++ backend with a web or scripting layer.
Responsibilities
- Design, implement, and maintain high-performance C++ applications and libraries across assigned products.
- Develop new features and maintain legacy code in existing codebases.
- Apply strong correctness, robustness, and performance discipline under technical direction from the project architect.
- Work with multithreading, concurrent programming, and object lifecycle management in production systems.
- Build and operate within our CI/CD pipeline: Git, GitLab, Docker, Linux, scripting, and Make-based builds.
- Participate in code reviews as a contributor; incorporate feedback and raise quality through collaboration.
- Use AI-assisted development tools effectively — including frontier LLMs, agentic coding workflows, and MCP-integrated tooling — as a routine part of delivering and reviewing software.
- Collaborate with cross-functional engineers (Python, React, infrastructure) on integration points and API contracts.
- Debug complex issues across distributed components and legacy subsystems.
