Staff Software Engineer, C++ Software Integration

605faa3f-474 Staff Software Engineer, C++ Software Integration This role is for a seasoned C++ generalist and systems integrator who thrives at the intersection of software, infrastructure, and integration. As a Staff Software Engineer, you'll lead complex technical efforts across distributed systems and simulation environments, with minimal oversight. Your work will shape foundational capabilities that power autonomy, simulation, and real-time system interfaces across multiple platforms.

Responsibilities:

Architect and implement high-performance C++ and Python systems across cross-platform environments.
Lead the design and integration of distributed systems, simulation tools, and third-party hardware/software.
Define and enforce technical direction, design patterns, and integration practices across projects.
Guide teams in building robust messaging and API layers (e.g., gRPC, REST, ZeroMQ) that bridge critical system components.
Own the evolution and support of CI/CD pipelines using GitLab CI, Docker, Conan, and CMake.
Lead debugging and optimization of real-time and multi-threaded systems across a range of domains.
Drive end-to-end integration efforts, including planning, implementation, and verification across simulation and operational systems.
Serve as a force multiplier by mentoring other engineers and contributing to shared tooling and process improvements.
Evaluate and incorporate new technologies that improve system performance, stability, and developer efficiency.

As a Senior Software Engineer, C++ Software Integration, you will design, implement, and maintain C++ and Python software in support of complex, cross-platform systems. You will contribute to system architecture with a focus on performance, maintainability, and integration. You will develop and support APIs and messaging interfaces, integrate third-party software and hardware systems, including real-time and simulation tools. You will debug and support distributed systems, with attention to threading, timing, and data flow. You will apply modern agile practices such as test-driven development, continuous integration, and automated testing. You will improve and maintain CI/CD workflows using tools like GitLab CI, Docker, CMake, and Conan. You will collaborate across teams and projects to share solutions and promote good software practices. You will continuously learn and adapt to new tools, standards, and technologies.

This position is ideal for a C++ generalist who thrives on tackling complex challenges in systems and systems integration. If you enjoy building cross-language software, improving CI/CD pipelines, and integrating distributed real-time systems, you'll find this role rewarding.
