Responsibilities

Design, implement, test, and document production-quality C++ features for simulation and developer tooling.
Build and maintain software abstractions, simulated services, and client/server integrations that reproduce system behaviors in development environments.
Improve developer workflows for environment setup, simulator startup, configuration, input handling, debugging, log collection, and failure recovery.
Contribute to build, dependency, packaging, release, and CI/CD workflows for the simulation platform.
Create unit, integration, and end-to-end tests and move high-value validation into continuous integration.
Diagnose failures across process, library, container, and platform boundaries and deliver durable fixes.
Maintain shared libraries and developer-facing interfaces, including versioning, compatibility, and migration guidance.
Write architecture, setup, troubleshooting, and release documentation for developers.
Partner with engineering, quality, product, and platform teams to coordinate integrations and deliver features.
Participate in design and code reviews and improve engineering practices.

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
4+ years of professional software-development experience with systems software, platform software, developer tools, infrastructure, or similar technical products.
Strong modern C++ development skills and practical experience developing and debugging on Linux.
Experience debugging multi-process, client/server, or platform-integrated software using logs, traces, debuggers, and reproducible test cases.
Experience building automated tests and integrating them into CI/CD workflows.
Working knowledge of build systems, dependency management, source control, and release practices for multi-repository codebases.
Ability to take defined problems through technical design, implementation, validation, documentation, and rollout.
Clear written and verbal communication for coordinating interfaces and diagnosing cross-team issues.
Preferred experience includes simulation, emulation, hardware abstraction, service virtualization, containerized development, CMake, package-management tools, CI systems, collaborative source-control workflows, cross-platform build toolchains, IPC, client/server APIs, shared libraries, SDKs, complex platform software, developer tools, or resource-constrained environments.
Working knowledge of Python, Rust, JavaScript, or TypeScript is a plus.
