Job Description

We are looking for a Senior C++ Engineer to join our core backend engineering collective.

This is a high-impact opportunity to shape future trends in data processing and high-performance computing.

You will be at the forefront of evolving a platform that handles massive, multi-dimensional datasets, ensuring our technical architecture remains a benchmark for the industry. You won’t just write code; you will influence the trajectory of our engineering culture and the scalability of our global infrastructure.

Location: UK (preferred on the Manchester area)

The Impact You’ll Make

  • Architectural Stewardship: You will lead the design and implementation of High-Level (HLD) and Low-Level Designs (LLD), ensuring our systems are loosely coupled, highly scalable, and resilient.

  • System Evolution: Modernize legacy components into high-throughput distributed systems, applying both Object-Oriented and Functional programming paradigms to solve complex data bottlenecks.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Data Scientists and Cloud Architects to bridge the gap between complex algorithmic requirements and robust production-grade engineering.
  • Global Mentorship: As a senior member of a distributed team (UK & India), you will drive engineering excellence through code reviews, design critiques, and fostering an Agile environment of continuous improvement.

Technology Stack

Core Requirements (Mandatory):

  • Languages: Expert-level C/C++and robust Shell Scripting for automation.
  • Data Management: Strong fluency in Relational Databases and SQL optimization.
  • Architecture: Deep understanding of Distributed Computing, High-Performance Systems, and OOP/Functional programming principles.

Nice to Have (Preferred):

  • Cloud & Orchestration: Experience with GCP or Azure, and workflow orchestration via Airflow
  • Containerization: Hands-on experience with Docker and Kubernetes (K8s)
  • DevOps: Proficiency with Git and building automated CI/CD pipelines

What You’ll Bring To Us

  • Proven Expertise: 6–10 years of professional software development experience, with at least 6 years dedicated to C/C++ in performance-critical environments.
  • Technical Breadth: A solid foundation in computer science fundamentals, including memory management, concurrency, and network protocols.
  • Leadership Mindset: The ability to navigate ambiguity and provide technical clarity to junior engineers and non-technical stakeholders.
