Senior software engineer

A technology-focused engineering organization is seeking software engineers to help design and build high-performance distributed computing systems used in complex, mission-critical environments. The team develops advanced software platforms that support Real Time processing, scalable infrastructure, and modern cloud-native architectures.

This role offers the opportunity to work across the full software development lifecycle, from early design and development through system integration, deployment, and long-term operational support. Engineers collaborate closely with multidisciplinary teams to build reliable, scalable systems that operate in demanding environments. Responsibilities

Software engineers in this role support the development and maintenance of distributed, software-intensive systems. Responsibilities include software design, development, integration, testing, deployment, and ongoing maintenance following established engineering processes.

Engineers work within collaborative teams consisting of software and systems engineers to produce design documentation, implementation artifacts, and test materials. Additional responsibilities include participating in peer reviews, integrating system components, supporting deployment in both internal lab environments and operational sites, and addressing updates, change requests, and defect reports for deployed systems.

• Strong programming experience in C/C+
• Experience with Python
• Familiarity with Agile software development processes
• Version control using Git

Preferred Skills

• Messaging frameworks for distributed systems (eg, RabbitMQ, NATS, AMQP)
• REST API design and development, including API documentation and contract testing
• TCP/IP networking fundamentals, particularly in cloud or edge environments
• Containerization technologies such as Docker
• Container orchestration platforms (Kubernetes or similar tools)
• Monitoring and observability tools (eg, Prometheus, Loki, Grafana)
• Experience with virtualization or cloud environments (AWS, VMware, or similar)
• Web-based GUI development
• Collaboration platforms for documentation and issue tracking
• Infrastructure-as-Code tools (eg, Ansible, Terraform, Packer)
• Container cluster management tools
• Knowledge of system security hardening standards and best practices
