Software Engineer

Connecting top Embedded & C++ talent to companies in NRW

About the Role

My client is looking for a high‑calibre C++ Software Engineer to take a leading role in designing and developing next‑generation software solutions used across high‑reliability, performance‑critical environments.

You’ll work hands‑on with modern C++ (C++17/20) and cutting‑edge development tools to build robust, scalable, and efficient systems — from architecture through to deployment. This is a role for engineers who enjoy solving complex technical problems, pushing performance boundaries, and shaping the direction of sophisticated software products.

Your Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and maintain core software components in modern C++ (C++17/20)
• Collaborate on system architecture and performance optimization for large‑scale or embedded applications
• Apply object‑oriented design principles, templates, and STL effectively
• Drive code quality, unit testing, and continuous integration
• Engage with product management, hardware, and QA teams to translate complex requirements into elegant software solutions
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to the technical roadmap of the product line

Your Profile

• Degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related technical field
• 5+ years of professional C++ experience, ideally in high‑performance, embedded, or system‑level development
• Strong understanding of C++17/20 features, templates, multithreading, and memory management
• Experience with Qt / QML, Boost, or STL libraries
• Familiarity with version control (Git), build systems (CMake), and CI/CD pipelines
• A structured, analytical mindset with attention to detail and performance
• Fluent in English (German is a plus)

What We Offer

• The opportunity to work on technically challenging, high‑impact products used worldwide
• A flat hierarchy with freedom to make architectural decisions and shape product direction
• Competitive salary and long‑term career growth in a stable, innovative environment
• Flexible working hours and hybrid work options
• A collaborative, international engineering team passionate about C++ and technology excellence
