C++ Software Engineer

We're Hiring: C++ Software Engineer (Real-Time Systems)

Are you a passionate C++ developer with a deep interest in real-time systems and Linux-based development? Join our innovative team that's building the next generation of modular platforms for industrial automation.

We're developing a scalable and high-performance framework designed to accelerate firmware development using a microservices architecture. In this role, you'll integrate a real-time execution engine into this ecosystem - enabling fast, predictable, and secure performance for automation workloads.

What You'll Do:

• Integrate and adapt a C++ real-time engine within a microservices-based infrastructure.
• Design and implement communication interfaces using IPC mechanisms tailored for both hard real-time and best-effort messaging.
• Ensure the real-time engine is deployable via containerized and native Linux environments.
• Collaborate with teams working on:
• Industrial fieldbus protocols (EtherCAT, Ethernet/IP, Profinet, OPC UA FX)
• Cybersecurity microservices
• Tools for deployment and configuration
• Contribute to integration strategies that prioritize low latency, determinism, and system reliability.
• Engage in agile workflows including CI/CD pipelines, code reviews, and test automation.

What We're Looking For:

• Solid experience with C and C++, including modern standards (C+/17/20).
• Strong knowledge of real-time and embedded system development.
• Proficiency in Linux system programming and containerization (Docker, Podman, etc.).
• Familiarity with microservices architectures and inter-process communication.
• Understanding of real-time constraints, performance optimization, and deterministic behavior.
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills (English).

Bonus Points For:

• Knowledge of industrial communication protocols (EtherCAT, Ethernet/IP, Profinet, OPC UA).
• Background in cybersecurity for embedded systems.
• Experience with DevOps tools like Kubernetes, Ansible, or similar.
• Exposure to industrial automation, control systems, or firmware platforms.
• Ability to read and understand Bash scripts used in legacy installation processes.
