Senior C++ Engineer

Hi, I’m Joris Eertink, Head of the .Connect team here at Beyond Sports, and I’m excited to invite you to consider joining us as a Senior Software Engineer focused on C++.

If you’re someone who loves designing and optimizing high-performance systems, thrives on solving complex data and real-time synchronization challenges, and is passionate about using your C++ expertise to power next-generation sports visualisation, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.

What Your Day Will Look Like

As a Senior C++ Software Engineer at Beyond Sports, you’ll play a critical role in building the robust, low-latency core platform that ingests, processes, and manages real-time sports data.

Each day, you’ll be hands-on with Modern C++ (C++17/20), focusing on performance-critical areas like:

• Developing and optimizing multithreaded services for concurrent data handling.
• Implementing and fine-tuning networking protocols for reliable, low-latency data communication.
• Integrating diverse, high-volume data streams (e.g., tracking data) into our centralized systems.

You’ll be deep-diving into performance profiling, architecting new core components, and collaborating with our Data Science and Visualization teams to ensure the data is delivered perfectly for our immersive 3D experiences. You’ll also provide technical leadership and mentorship to junior engineers, ensuring the adoption of best practices and the highest code quality standards.

• Self-driven and comfortable taking full ownership of critical system components.
• Technically sharp, especially in concurrent programming and memory management.
• Analytical, constantly seeking out bottlenecks and driving performance improvements.
• A strong communicator, able to translate complex technical designs to cross-functional teams.

We work in an innovative environment in Alkmaar, Netherlands. This role requires on-site collaboration with the core team to facilitate architecture design and rapid project iteration.

Tech Stack and Skill Requirements

You don’t need to tick every box - but here’s what we’re looking for:

• Expertise in Modern C++ (C++17/20) with a strong focus on high-performance and low-latency development.
• Proven experience in designing and implementing efficient multithreaded and concurrent code.
• Good knowledge of data structures, algorithms, and techniques for handling high-volume, real-time data streams.
• Proficiency with version control (Git) and development tools (e.g., CMake, Visual Studio/Linux IDEs).
• Experience with performance profiling, debugging, and optimisation on Linux and/or Windows.
