## About the Role

You should have strong experience developing secure, high-performance software using modern C++ and be passionate about delivering reliable systems that make a real difference. A background in defence, aerospace, or similar high-assurance environments is advantageous but not essential.

Essential qualifications:

Proven experience with modern C++ (C+ and above) and OOD principles.

Solid understanding of multithreading, concurrency, and real-time software design.

Familiarity with Linux and cross-platform development environments.

Experience with CI/CD tools, version control, and unit testing frameworks.

Awareness of secure coding standards and best practices.

Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to work effectively in collaborative teams.

Desirable qualifications:

Experience in embedded or mission-critical systems.

Knowledge of middleware technologies (e.g., DDS, ZeroMQ) and scripting (Python, Bash).

Understanding of Agile delivery models such as Scrum or SAFe.

Together, as owners, let's turn meaningful insights into action.

## Description

In this role, you will engineer high-performance, secure software systems that underpin mission-critical defence operations. You'll collaborate with clients and cross-functional teams to design, develop, and deliver robust solutions that meet exacting standards of performance and reliability. Your expertise will directly influence the success of strategic projects, ensuring our clients maintain a technological edge in national security.

You'll take ownership of your work from concept through delivery, bringing creativity and precision to every challenge. Supported by CGI's collaborative culture, you'll have opportunities to innovate, contribute to technical direction, and build a rewarding, purpose-driven career.

Key responsibilities:

Design & Develop: Create and maintain high-quality, modern C++ software solutions aligned with mission objectives.

Collaborate & Innovate: Work closely with multidisciplinary teams and clients to translate technical requirements into effective solutions.

Optimise & Secure: Apply secure coding standards, performance optimisation, and rigorous testing practices.

Deliver & Evolve: Contribute to Agile ceremonies, CI/CD pipelines, and continuous improvement initiatives.

Document & Communicate: Produce clear technical documentation and contribute to knowledge-sharing across teams.
