We are currently looking for: Senior Software Developer
We are seeking a highly skilled and versatile Senior Software Developer with at least 10 years of professional experience. This role is ideal for someone with a strong background in embedded systems and mission-critical software, who enjoys working close to the hardware layer while contributing to robust back-end architectures.
As a Senior Developer, you will work closely with product teams and customers to design, build, and maintain scalable, reliable systems. Your focus will be on back-end and embedded software development, though experience with or interest in front-end technologies is considered an asset.
Your daily life:
Collaborate across teams to translate product and business requirements into robust technical implementations.
Design, develop, and maintain mission-critical back-end and embedded systems.
Write and maintain unit tests to ensure code quality and prevent regressions.
Participate in code reviews, architecture discussions, and delivery processes.
Assist in system validation, debugging, and troubleshooting of complex issues.
Mentor junior developers and promote best practices in software design and maintainability.
Engage professionally with customers and stakeholders to ensure satisfaction.
Requirements:
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
10+ years of experience in software development.
Strong hands-on experience with C++, including work on embedded systems and mission-critical applications.
Eagerness to learn and work with Rust (experience with Rust is a plus).
Solid understanding of embedded systems, real-time constraints, concurrency, and software architecture.
Proficiency with unit testing frameworks and methodologies.
Strong communication skills and the ability to work independently or collaboratively.
Eligible to obtain a Canadian security clearance.
Willingness to participate occasionally in front-end development tasks, such as contributing to user interfaces that interact with embedded systems.
Nice to have:
Familiarity with JavaScript, TypeScript, and modern web frameworks (e.g., Vue.js, React).
Understanding of responsive and adaptive UI principles.
Experience contributing to front-end components or web-based tools used to interface with embedded systems.
