Compensation: Competitive salary commensurate with experience, qualifications, and location. Indicative range: $110,000 – $180,000 (USD equivalent), plus benefits.

Role Overview

We are hiring a C++ Software Engineer to build performance-critical systems software. The role works on the parts of the stack where memory, latency, and concurrency matter β€” combining systems-level expertise with disciplined engineering.

Key Responsibilities

- Design and build performance-critical systems in modern C++ (C++17/20)

- Optimise code for memory, throughput, and latency

- Diagnose and resolve complex bugs across multi-threaded systems

- Conduct code reviews and contribute to architectural decisions

- Profile and benchmark performance of production systems

- Partner with adjacent teams on integrations and tooling

Required Skills and Qualifications

- 4+ years building production C++ systems

- Strong proficiency in modern C++ (C++17/20) and the standard library

- Experience with multi-threading, concurrency, and lock-free data structures

- Familiarity with profiling and performance analysis tools

- Working knowledge of build systems (CMake, Bazel) and Git

- Solid understanding of computer architecture and memory models

What You'll Bring

- Curiosity to dig into systems and turn findings into shipped improvements

- Strong written communication and ability to explain technical decisions

- A test-and-learn mindset; you ship fast, measure, and iterate

- Comfort working asynchronously across time zones

What We Offer

- Fully remote, flexible work hours

- Performance-based bonus structure

- Annual learning & development stipend

- Health and wellness benefits (varies by location)

- Opportunity to work on high-scale, real-world impact projects

Applications are welcomed from all qualified individuals regardless of race, color, ethnicity, nationality, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, religion, disability, marital status, or any other characteristic protected by applicable law.
