We are seeking a highly experienced Senior C++ Engineer or Software Architect to join our engineering team. The ideal candidate will have deep expertise in C/C++ development, advanced architectural skills, and strong knowledge of build systems for multilayered software.

You will work on software design and redesign for complex architectures, maintain and evolve Make/CMake-based build systems, troubleshoot build-related issues, and contribute to the development of a new Bazel-based build system.

This role requires a strong understanding of C/C++ compilation workflows, dependencies, linking, and toolchain behavior in large-scale environments.

Technical Requirements

• 15+ years of experience as a C++ developer or software architect.
• Strong expertise in Makefiles (GNU Make) and CMake.
• Deep understanding of the C/C++ compilation process (dependencies, linking, object files).
• Architectural skills, including design/redesign/refactoring of multilayered systems (e.g., PAL, HAL layers).
• Experience troubleshooting build-system–related defects, such as:
  • Incorrectly include order or missing headers
  • missing/incorrect/wrong-version libraries
  • wrong library locations
  • linker errors and toolchain inconsistencies
• Proficiency in Python and Bash for automation.
• Experience with Git and GitHub.
• Work as an Independent Contractor

Nice to Have

• Experience with Bazel (integration, migration, or build-system development).

Responsibilities

• Design, redesign, and refactor multilayered architectures (e.g., PAL, HAL), including writing prototypes and pilot components.
• Support component owners and ensure the correct implementation of refactoring efforts.
• Maintain and improve Make/CMake-based build systems supporting multiple layers and platforms.
• Collaborate on the development of a new Bazel-based build system.
• Troubleshoot and resolve build-system–related defects across complex C/C++ projects.
