Role Overview

We’re seeking a highly experienced C++ developer (10+ years) who will be fully onsite in San Diego. This person will design, implement, optimize, and maintain performance‑critical systems. The role involves working with hardware integrations, real‑time constraints, and possibly embedded systems. You will also mentor others, lead parts of the architecture, and be responsible for high code quality.

Key Responsibilities

  • Architect, design, and build new modules & features in C++ (modern standard: C++11/14/17/20)
  • Maintain, refactor, and optimize existing code for performance, memory usage, latency
  • Debug complex, multi‑threaded, concurrent, or real‑time systems
  • Work closely with firmware, hardware, QA, system engineers for full stack integration (software → hardware)
  • Lead or contribute to design reviews, code reviews, and document APIs, subsystem interactions
  • Ensure software is testable: unit tests, integration tests, continuous integration/delivery pipelines
  • Mentor junior and mid‑level developers on best practices, design patterns, performance engineering
  • Estimate work, report progress, participate in project planning

Required Qualifications & Skills

  • 10+ years hands‑on experience in C++ development
  • Strong knowledge of modern C++ (templates, smart pointers, move semantics, concurrency abstractions)
  • Experience with real‑time, or embedded systems, or high‑performance, low‑latency systems
  • Deep debugging skills (profiling tools, memory leak detection, performance optimization)
  • Good experience with Linux or relevant OS (including threading, memory, system APIs)
  • Comfortable working fully onsite: in labs, with hardware, possibly on shift or with schedules tied to hardware/test cycles

Nice to Have

  • Experience with RTOS (Real‑Time Operating Systems)
  • Hardware driver or firmware interface experience (e.g. SPI, I2C, UART, memory‑mapped IO)
  • Domain experience: telecom, aerospace/defense, medical devices, robotics, networking
  • Familiarity with build systems like CMake, Bazel; scripting (Python, Bash) for test automation
  • Exposure to secure coding practices, standards compliance where relevant

Compensation & Contract Details

  • Duration: 6‑12 months initially, possibility of renewal or extension
  • Rate: Competitive, dependent on experience, visa status, domain expertise
  • Work schedule: typically 40 hrs/week onsite; may require occasional evenings/shifts if working with hardware tests
