A specialized engineering software company is hiring a Senior C++ Engineer to support and evolve a long-standing Windows desktop application used in real-world structural and engineering workflows. This is a full-time, direct-hire role with a hybrid schedule, requiring 1-2 days per week on-site in Dallas. The core technology is modern C++ within a performance-sensitive, math-driven environment. This opportunity is ideal for engineers who enjoy working close to the core of a product rather than around the edges. The team is looking for someone who wants to own complex technical problems, improve a mature codebase, and help move a critical product forward rather than simply keep it running. The work involves real engineering challenges, long-term thinking, and software that professionals depend on for accuracy.
