We are seeking a highly skilled System/Framework Engineer with expertise in software development, deployment pipelines, and scalable frameworks. The ideal candidate will have a strong foundation in modern C++ development, experience with containerization and orchestration, and the ability to design, test, and optimize reliable software systems. You will play a key role in building and maintaining robust frameworks, ensuring efficient CI/CD pipelines, and delivering production-ready deployments.
Key Responsibilities:
- Software Development & Design: Develop and maintain system-level frameworks and core libraries in modern C++ (C++17/20/23), applying design patterns and best practices to create scalable, maintainable, high-performance software.
- Deployment & Infrastructure: Build and maintain containerized environments using Docker and orchestration tools, automating deployment, configuration, and scaling with Ansible or similar tools.
- CI/CD & Software Testing: Implement and maintain robust CI/CD pipelines, ensuring smooth integration with automated builds and testing. Define frameworks for unit, integration, and regression testing.
- Research & Innovation: Stay updated with advances in software engineering practices, C++ standards, and deployment frameworks.
Core Competencies:
- Software Engineering Expertise: Proficiency in modern C++ (C++17 or newer), STL, templates, concurrency, and memory management, along with knowledge of object-oriented design and large-scale distributed systems development.
- Deployment & Automation Tools: Strong experience with Docker, Ansible, and related automation tools, and familiarity with container orchestration (e.g., Kubernetes, Nomad) is a plus.
- CI/CD & Testing: Hands-on experience with Jenkins, GitLab CI, or GitHub Actions, and knowledge of test-driven development (TDD) and relevant testing frameworks.
- Programming Skills: Proficient in C++ (primary language) and Python (for scripting, testing, and automation).
- Systems & Infrastructure: Proficiency in Linux environments, networking, distributed computing, and performance optimization, including integration of monitoring/logging frameworks.
Qualifications:
- Master’s or PhD in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.
- Proven track record in system-level or framework development using modern C++.
- Strong background in deployment automation, CI/CD, and containerization.
- Experience with software testing and validation frameworks.
- Excellent problem-solving skills and collaborative mindset.
Preferred (Nice-to-Have):
- Experience with Kubernetes or cloud-native orchestration.
- Familiarity with Yocto.
- Background in high-performance computing or real-time systems.
