Lead C++ software engineer

Your challenge

As a lead c++ software engineer, you design, build, and deliver high-performance, scalable software systems. This is a hands-on role: you spend your time in the code, combining deep technical expertise with mentorship as you build and run production-ready solutions.

You are responsible for:

• Designing and building scalable solutions with a strong focus on performance, maintainability, and cross-component integration.
• Taking ownership of delivery from design to production, and living "you build it, you run it", so your team owns what it ships and keeps it reliable in production.
• Staying hands-on in the code while keeping delivery on track: unblocking the team, holding the bar on quality, and mentoring fellow engineers.
• Challenging and refining requirements with product analysts to ensure clarity, feasibility, and delivery readiness.
• Owning technical correctness, including performance and scalability.
• You shift quality left and reimagine how QA is done, building AI-based testing frameworks that deliver strong automation and fast feedback so issues surface early. This covers the full range of testing: performance, load, spike, soak, and security testing.
• Building observability into the software as a core principle, so your team can run it with confidence and catch issues before customers do.

About you

Essential talents and qualifications:

• A Lead C++ software engineer at heart with a strong quality and QA mindset. You shift quality left, build it in from the start, and take pride in what you ship.
• Around 10 years of work experience in a C++ software engineering role. If you have less, a strong drive to sharpen your C++ skills counts for a lot.
• You're energized by what AI brings to software engineering and keep pushing how far it can take your development, testing, and review.
• Excellent algorithmic and conceptual thinking, plus a generalist knowledge of technologies including cloud (Azure), and the curiosity to stay up to date.
• A strong mentor and team player with great communication skills and a positive attitude.
• A bachelor's, master's, or PhD in computer science, engineering, mathematics, or similar, or the equivalent by experience.

Bonus points if you have:

• Working experience with web applications and continuous integration testing (Docker Kubernetes, Jenkins, Azure DevOps, Git, etc.).
• Expertise in specific quality areas like performance and security testing or test process improvement.
• A certificate in software testing (ISTQB, TMap, WAPT).
