Strong Junior C++ Engineer

About the Position

We’re looking for a Strong Junior C++ Engineer to join a product team. You’ll help us build software for high-precision patient monitoring devices used in hospitals, ICUs, and ambulances worldwide.

This is a product-focused role in a brand-new development initiative, where we’re building ~95% of the codebase from scratch. Your core focus and day-to-day development will be in C++, while Python will be your tool of choice for test automation.

If you enjoy working with modern C++, embedded systems, and complex integrations in a real-world, high-impact domain, we’d love to meet you.

A Glimpse of the Project

We’re developing software for a new generation of patient monitors that continuously monitor vital signs in clinical environments.

The solution runs on Embedded Linux. We assemble it through a CI/CD pipeline that combines multiple small components into a full embedded system for medical devices.

You’ll write software that will support clinical teams for years, so it needs to be stable and reliable.

Project Scope

• New software for a new generation of devices
• Replacement of legacy software on existing devices
• Integration with existing medical systems

Responsibilities

• Craft application-level services for Embedded Linux as your primary activity (using C++)
• Roll out new features and write unit tests
• Develop and maintain automated test suites using Python to ensure system reliability
• Participate in code reviews to uphold our high standards of quality
• Team up with cross-functional teams to integrate system components
• Adapt and reuse existing libraries and modules to meet new requirements
• Troubleshoot integration hiccups and resolve bugs
• Engage in feature planning and technical discussions
• Drive improvements in performance and stability

Toolset You’ll Work With

• Core Language: Modern C++ (C++11/14/23) - main focus
• Automation & Scripting: Python - used for automation tests
• OS & Environment: Embedded Linux + Yocto, Windows 11 + WSL
• Protocols & IPC: IPC / MQTT / gRPC, Protobuf
• Tools & CI/CD: Docker, CI/CD, VSCode + DevContainers
• Build Systems & Compilers: GCC, clang, CMake, Make
• Testing Frameworks: GTest, Pytest-based automation frameworks

What to Expect

• Multiple dependencies on other teams
• API alignment and integration challenges
• Occasional breaking changes
• The need to revisit and refine solutions

To shine here, you bring strong communication skills, systems thinking, and flexibility, as the project is in an active development phase.

Requirements

• 2+ years of hands-on C++ development (as your primary language)
• Solid understanding of OOP, data structures, and algorithms
• Practical experience with Python for writing automated tests or scripting
• Experience developing for Linux/Unix platforms
• Experience with CI/CD and containerization (Docker)
• Experience with automated testing (e.g., GTest, Pytest frameworks)
• Sharp problem-solving and analytical mindset
• Upper-Intermediate English

Nice to Have

• Experience with C++17/20/23
• Experience with Embedded Linux platforms
• Knowledge of QEMU
