C++ Software Engineer II - ArcGIS Maps SDKs for Native Apps

Overview

Bring your passion for C++ to help us develop a cross-platform mapping SDK that runs on desktop and mobile devices using the latest compilers and C++ standards. At Esri, we love making a difference and leading the way in developing innovative technology. This is a great opportunity to design and develop next-gen Esri technology - initially focusing on text: calculation, de-confliction, positioning and real-time rendering for 2D and 3D.

Responsibilities

• Build C++ software components that follow industry and team-standard design patterns, development methodologies, and deployment models
• Develop excellent software for use in field mapping, data collection, sensor networks, street navigation, and more, with the initial focus being on text related components
• Collaborate with other software and product engineers throughout the development process
• Discuss user requirements; design and develop library APIs and implementations
• Research, analyse, articulate, and solve complex problems with design, development, testing, and documentation
• Learn and collaborate in SDK environments and languages, for testing, investigation and prototyping

Requirements

• 2+ years of commercial/academic software development experience, including debugging algorithms, and designing functions and class structures
• Fluent in, and keen to engineer with, modern C++ (14/17/20) and STL, including smart pointers, optional, variant, lambda expressions, move semantics and template programming
• Experience with IDEs, compilers, and development tools for Linux, Windows or MacOS
• Object oriented design skills
• Understanding of algorithms and design patterns
• Ability to work closely with the team to build quality software in a constantly evolving environment
• Effective time management and organisational skills
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, engineering, mathematics, mapping, GIS, or related field
• Existing work authorisation for the United Kingdom

Recommended Qualifications

• Experience in complementary design approaches such as Value-based, Data-Oriented, Multithreading, Parallelisation, Functional or Compile-time
• Interest in or knowledge of text layout, typography, fonts, and libraries such as ICU and HarfBuzz
• Familiarity with GIS applications and technologies
• Familiarity with some other languages which our SDKs target or are used in infrastructure (such as Kotlin, Qt, C#, Swift, Flutter, Typescript or Python)
• Master’s degree in GIS, computer science, engineering, or related field

Compensation

Base salary is one component of our total rewards strategy. Compensation decisions and the base range for this role take into account many factors including but not limited to skill sets; experience and training; licensure and certifications; and other business and organizational needs.

£39,600 - £67,320.
