Lead Software Engineer - C/C++ Enterprise Systems

Job Description Roles & Responsibilities Role Overview We are seeking an experienced, high-end software engineer with deep, long-term C and C++ experience on complex, production software not a short exposure or academic-only background. You will join an enterprise C/C++ application program as the initial assignment, while maintaining a profile that is not C/C++-only and contribution to agentic pod delivery over time. You are a strong fit if you: Have many years of professional software engineering on non-trivial, long-lived systems (10+ years software development preferred; 15 20+ years total welcome where depth is evident). Bring solid, demonstrated C/C++ on complex applications maintenance, extension, debugging, and safe change on existing production codebases. Have 2 3+ years of hands-on C/C++ on application software in production for the initial assignment not required to be recent. Think in terms of production ownership: incidents, root cause, diagnostics, regression risk, and high availability (downtime impact, safe releases). Are hands-on, current, and technically credible not coasting on legacy stack alone. Have credibility in modern software delivery (Agile, Git, code review, testing) and interest and adjacent capability toward AI / agentic engineering. This is not a generic Senior backend role and not greenfield-only. Key Responsibilities Enterprise application (initial focus) Design, develop, debug, and maintain enterprise software using C and C++. Enhance, fix, and regression-test existing product code under production pressure. Work with SQL Server and database-backed features; understand data, performance, and availability impact. Troubleshoot complex production issues using logs, diagnostics, and systematic root-cause analysis. Collaborate with Product Owners, QA, architects, and client technical stakeholders; participate in Agile delivery. Engineering depth & delivery Apply strong OOP, SOLID, data structures, memory management, and multithreading judgment in real codebases. Support high-reliability expectations for mission-critical systems; uphold production quality, security, and maintainability on long-lived enterprise codebases. Apply disciplined software engineering across design, implementation, testing, and delivery on complex production systems. Mentor and raise the bar through code review and clear technical communication (English) with client stakeholders. Agentic engineering (Integrant direction) Work effectively with AI-assisted development workflows where appropriate while maintaining accountability for production quality, security, and correctness on legacy C/C++ code. Desired Candidate Profile Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related field (or equivalent depth demonstrated in career). 10+ years of professional software development experience (application software, services, or enterprise systems). Many years of hands-on C and C++ on complex software applications maintenance and evolution of production systems, not toy projects only. 2 3+ years of hands-on C and C++ on application software in production required for the initial assignment; not required to be recent. SQL Server (or equivalent enterprise RDBMS depth) with database-backed application features. Proven debugging, troubleshooting, and root-cause analysis under time pressure; production support / incident experience. Solid Git, Agile, and English communication for client-facing work. Preferred Qualifications Experience with highly available or production-critical systems (minutes-level downtime sensitivity). Modern C++ (C++11/14/17+) in maintained codebases. REST APIs, automated testing, CI/CD or equivalent depth on other modern application stacks per squad. Demonstrated curiosity and practical experimentation with AI / LLM-assisted development with sound engineering guardrails. International client or enterprise product delivery experience.
