Job Duties

This is a hands-on software engineering role. We are looking to recruit an experienced Software Engineer to design, develop, and modernize high-performance Rock Physics desktop and cloud applications. Reporting to the Team Lead and working closely with the Product Owner, you will own the technical direction of production software - writing code daily, reviewing pull requests, and driving architectural decisions.

Key Responsibilities

• Design & build software - Architect, implement, and maintain complex desktop and cloud applications using modern software engineering practices (design patterns, SOLID principles, automated testing, continuous integration/delivery).
• Modernize legacy systems - Lead migration of mature C/C++ codebases to modern languages, runtimes, and UI/UX frameworks while preserving scientific accuracy and performance.
• Leverage AI-assisted development - Actively adopt AI-powered tools (e.g., Copilot, code-generation, automated testing assistants) to accelerate delivery and improve code quality. Collaborate on architecture - Partner with the Team Lead and Product Owner to translate requirements into sound, maintainable technical solutions the team can implement and iterate on.
• Communicate clearly - Escalate risks, trade-offs, and progress in a timely, structured manner to technical and non-technical stakeholders. Stay current - Continuously evaluate and adopt emerging languages, frameworks, cloud services, and AI/ML tooling relevant to the product.

Required Qualifications

• 3+ years of professional software engineering building and shipping complex, production-grade applications - not solely scripting, prototyping or research. Strong proficiency in C#/.NET; and also C/C++; demonstrated ability to work across both languages in a single product ecosystem. Undergraduate (or higher) degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a closely related engineering discipline.
• Comfort and curiosity with AI-assisted development tools and a track record of staying ahead of technology trends. Experience with cloud architecture (AWS, Azure and/or Google Cloud). Proven experience with software engineering fundamentals: object-oriented and component-based design, design patterns, unit/integration testing, version control (Git), and code review workflows. Hands-on CI/CD experience - building, configuring or maintaining automated build and deployment pipelines.
• Experience modernizing legacy software - migrating codebases from older languages or frameworks to current platforms, including UI/UX modernization. Self-motivated and collaborative; thrives in a team environment and takes initiative without direction. Excellent analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills.

Minimum Qualifications

Minimum qualifications may be acquired through technical schools or equivalent related experience. Candidates having qualifications that exceed the minimum job requirements will receive consideration for higher-level roles given (1) their experience, (2) additional job requirements, and/or (3) business needs. Depending on education, experience, and skill level, a variety of job opportunities might be available from the Technical Professional Software (Senior - Principal).
