Senior C++ Software Engineer

Accountabilities

• Software Development: Design, develop, and maintain core application components using Modern C++ (C++17/20) within an established ROS2-based architecture.

• Sensor Integration: Integrate multiple sensors, external interfaces, and third-party components into a complex embedded vision and sensor-fusion platform.

• Distributed Systems Engineering: Build component-based applications using publish/subscribe (pub/sub) patterns and message-based communication to support reliable data exchange across distributed systems.

• Architecture and Technical Design: Contribute to software architecture and design decisions, assess technical alternatives, and implement reusable, scalable, and maintainable solutions.

• Software Quality and Testing: Develop and maintain unit and integration tests to validate functionality, improve reliability, and ensure system stability.

• Performance Optimisation: Identify bottlenecks and optimise runtime performance, memory usage, concurrency, and resource utilisation in performance-critical applications.

• Debugging and Troubleshooting: Investigate and resolve complex software issues in Linux environments using debugging, profiling, and performance-analysis tools.

• Development Environment Management: Maintain container images, Docker configurations, and build environments for development and target platforms.

• Code Reviews and Technical Collaboration: Participate in code reviews, provide constructive feedback, and collaborate with developers, architects, and project stakeholders to maintain high engineering standards.

• Technical Leadership and Mentorship: Take ownership of complex development tasks, contribute to technical decision-making, and guide less experienced engineers through knowledge sharing and mentoring.

• Continuous Improvement: Identify opportunities to improve development workflows, software quality, system reliability, and engineering practices across the project.

Requirements:

• Professional Experience: At least 5 years of professional software development experience, with strong expertise in C++ and the development of complex software systems.

• Modern C++ Expertise: Advanced proficiency in C++17/20, including memory management, multithreading, concurrency, and performance-critical programming.

• ROS2 and Robotics: Practical experience developing robotic applications with ROS2, including an understanding of its architecture, components, and communication mechanisms.

• Sensor Integration: Hands-on experience integrating multiple sensors into complex software systems, preferably within embedded vision, robotics, or sensor-fusion applications.

• Distributed and Component-Based Systems: Solid understanding of distributed architectures, component-based software design, and pub/sub or message-based communication patterns.

• Software Architecture: Strong knowledge of software design principles, architectural best practices, and approaches to building maintainable and reusable applications.

• Testing and Quality Assurance: Experience designing and implementing unit and integration tests for reliable, production-quality software.

• Linux Development: Strong experience working in Linux environments, including debugging, profiling, performance analysis, and troubleshooting.

• Version Control and Collaboration: Proficiency with Git and collaborative software development workflows, including code reviews and shared development practices.

• Containerisation: Hands-on experience with Docker and containerised development and build environments.

• Analytical and Problem-Solving Skills: Strong analytical thinking, systematic debugging skills, and the ability to resolve challenging technical problems independently.

• Ownership and Communication: Ability to take responsibility for complex engineering tasks, make informed technical decisions, collaborate effectively, and communicate clearly in English.

• Nice to Have: Experience developing ROS2 nodes and using Python for tooling, testing, or non-critical ROS2 components.

• Additional Advantages: Familiarity with Yocto, Embedded Linux, Kubernetes, Helm, CI/CD pipelines such as Jenkins or GitLab CI, real-time operating systems, and real-time programming concepts.

• Domain Knowledge: Experience with machine learning concepts for perception and decision-making, or previous work on traffic management, traffic monitoring, or traffic enforcement systems, would be an advantage.

Benefits:

• Flexible Working Arrangements: Choose from remote, office-based, or flexible working formats, subject to role and location requirements.

• Competitive Compensation: Receive a competitive salary and comprehensive compensation package.

• Personalised Career Development: Access career growth opportunities tailored to your professional goals and technical interests.

• Professional Learning Opportunities: Benefit from mentorship programmes, technical talks, training sessions, and centres of excellence.

• Knowledge-Sharing Communities: Participate in active technical communities that encourage collaboration, knowledge exchange, and continuous learning.

• Education Support: Access education reimbursement to support ongoing professional development.

• Employee Recognition: Receive anniversary gifts and recognition of important career milestones.

• Team-Building Activities: Take part in corporate events and team activities designed to strengthen professional relationships.

• Additional Local Benefits: Access location-specific benefits depending on the applicable employment arrangement.
