We are seeking a highly experienced Senior C++ Engineer or Software Architect to join our engineering team. The ideal candidate will have deep expertise in C/C++ development, advanced architectural skills, and strong knowledge of build systems for multilayered software.
You will work on software design and redesign for complex architectures, maintain and evolve Make/CMake-based build systems, troubleshoot build-related issues, and contribute to the development of a new Bazel-based build system.
This role requires a strong understanding of C/C++ compilation workflows, dependencies, linking, and toolchain behavior in large-scale environments.
Technical Requirements
- 15+ years of experience as a C++ developer or software architect.
- Strong expertise in Makefiles (GNU Make) and CMake.
- Deep understanding of the C/C++ compilation process (dependencies, linking, object files).
- Architectural skills, including design/redesign/refactoring of multilayered systems (e.g., PAL, HAL layers).
- Experience troubleshooting build-system–related defects, such as:
- Incorrectly include order or missing headers
- missing/incorrect/wrong-version libraries
- wrong library locations
- linker errors and toolchain inconsistencies
- Proficiency in Python and Bash for automation.
- Experience with Git and GitHub.
Nice to Have
- Experience with Bazel (integration, migration, or build-system development).
Responsibilities
- Design, redesign, and refactor multilayered architectures (e.g., PAL, HAL), including writing prototypes and pilot components.
- Support component owners and ensure the correct implementation of refactoring efforts.
- Maintain and improve Make/CMake-based build systems supporting multiple layers and platforms.
- Collaborate on the development of a new Bazel-based build system.
- Troubleshoot and resolve build-system–related defects across complex C/C++ projects.
