Lead C++ software engineer

Job description

As a C++ lead software engineer, you design, build, and deliver high-performance, scalable software systems. This is a hands-on role: you spend your time in the code, combining deep technical expertise with mentorship as you build and run production-ready solutions. You are responsible for: - Designing and building scalable solutions with a strong focus on performance, maintainability, and cross-component integration. - Taking ownership of delivery from design to production, and living "you build it, you run it", so your team owns what it ships and keeps it reliable in production. - Staying hands-on in the code while keeping delivery on track: unblocking the team, holding the bar on quality, and mentoring fellow engineers. - Challenging and refining requirements with product analysts to ensure clarity, feasibility, and delivery readiness. - Owning technical correctness, including performance and scalability. - You shift quality left and reimagine how QA is done, building AI-based testing frameworks that deliver strong automation and fast feedback so issues surface early. This covers the full range of testing: performance, load, spike, soak, and security testing. - Building observability into the software as a core principle, so your team can run it with confidence and catch issues before customers do.
