Job description

We are excited to welcome a motivated Associate Software Engineer (C++/Rust) to our expanding Technology Office team.

In this entry-to-mid-level position, you will contribute to the development and enhancement of high-performance software solutions that support our products across on-premise, cloud, and hybrid deployments. You'll work with modern and supporting tools to build reliable, efficient code as part of impactful projects.

Joining a collaborative global team (with members in Vietnam, Spain, Romania, UK, US, Georgia, and Hungary), you'll gain hands-on experience working closely with senior engineers-both locally and remotely-in a supportive, international environment that values growth and innovation.

What You Will Be Doing

  • Work under guidance from the Engineering Manager and Romania-based team to plan, design, implement, and maintain software features and applications
  • Review requirements, contribute to feature design, and implement clean, maintainable code
  • Write and maintain unit tests; participate in code reviews to ensure quality and best practices
  • Create and update technical documentation for your work
  • Help identify opportunities for code improvements and participate in team discussions on enhancements
  • Collaborate with global engineers to deliver secure, reliable, and performant software
  • Grow your skills through mentorship, pair programming, and exposure to advanced systems topics

Requirements

  • Good foundation in Software Engineering principles
  • Good knowledge of modern C++ (preferably C++17/20)
  • Familiarity with CMake and the GCC toolchain
  • Basic to good understanding of:
  • Multithreading concepts, atomics, and synchronization primitives
  • Thread pools and producer-consumer patterns
  • Common approaches to avoiding lock contention and race conditions
  • Has experience with Docker/containerization
  • Good knowledge of Semantic Versioning (SemVer) and Git Submodules for dependency management
  • Experience or familiarity with CI/CD pipelines (TeamCity preferred)
  • Solid grasp of design patterns, OOP principles, and writing clean, readable code
  • Excellent written and spoken English communication skills

It Would Be Nice If You Had

  • Understanding of OS-level file and process behavior on Windows and/or Linux
  • Experience or strong interest in Rust - we are expanding Rust usage and especially value candidates excited to learn and contribute to Rust components
  • Basic exposure to performance concepts (e.g., simple profiling, memory allocation awareness)
  • Familiarity with AWS basics (S3, API Gateway, DocumentDB) or similar cloud services
  • Any background in cybersecurity (AV, EDR, sandboxing), compression, parsers, SIMD, or ML concepts

Benefits & conditions

Why You'll Love Working Here

  • Stable, growing international company with a strong global customer base
  • Supportive, professional, and diverse team spanning multiple continents
  • Real challenges and meaningful ownership on cutting-edge projects
  • Modern technology stack with opportunities to learn advanced systems programming
  • Mentorship, career growth, and exposure to international collaboration

This range reflects gross monthly base salary only (depending on location and experience) and does not include equity or bonus.
