  • Experience with concurrency, multithreading, synchronization, and memory ownership/management.
  • Experience designing and optimizing high-performance, reliable, fault-tolerant services.
  • Knowledge of resiliency concepts, including timeouts, retries, logging, monitoring, telemetry, and error handling.
  • Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills for complex system, performance, and networking issues.
  • Experience with performance profiling, system diagnostics, and scalability optimization.
  • Strong understanding of software architecture, design patterns, and clean coding practices.

Preferred Skills:

  • Experience in aerospace, avionics, aviation, or other safety-critical environments.
  • Experience with embedded systems, edge computing, or resource-constrained environments.
  • Experience integrating cross-platform applications and services.
  • Hands-on experience supporting both legacy and modern C++ codebases.
  • Familiarity with distributed systems or real-time software environments.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Design, develop, and enhance high-performance C++ networking services.
  • Build reliable and resilient software components for avionics-related systems.
  • Analyze and optimize system performance, memory usage, concurrency, and network throughput.
  • Troubleshoot complex Linux, networking, and application-level issues.
  • Collaborate with engineering teams on architecture, integration, code reviews, and technical design decisions.
  • Improve code quality, scalability, observability, and operational reliability.
  • Support the integration and maintenance of software across modern and legacy C++ environments.
