Software Engineer

We're currently partnering with a leading client in Zürich to find a talented and experienced Software Engineer (m/w/d) with C++ programming skills to join their growing team. In this role, you'll take ownership of meaningful technical challenges and contribute independently to a well-established project. You'll work on end-to-end tasks with minimal supervision, helping to shape the technical direction while collaborating with a supportive team.

As a Software Engineer, you make larger, mostly independent, technical contributions. You deliver on end-to-end tasks towards a larger goal with minimal assistance from more senior team members. You independently plan, prioritize, and execute your work. You may participate in design, though often with guidance. You identify technical problems with the requirements, and fix them.

• Review code developed by other engineers and provide feedback to ensure best practices (e.g., style guidelines, checking code in, accuracy, testability, and efficiency). Identify and pay off tech debt to improve long-term maintainability, modifiability, etc.
