Original job description

Job Title: C++ Software EngineerJob DescriptionThis role supports a mission-critical submarine acoustic system by focusing on software build, integration, and dependency management across a large-scale C/C++ engineering environment. You will work primarily in Linux, solving complex technical problems related to builds and integration rather than traditional feature development. This position offers broad exposure to enterprise-scale software engineering challenges and can open doors to future opportunities across multiple high-impact programs.Responsibilities

Analyze and troubleshoot code dependencies, linking issues, and build behavior across a large C/C++ software environment.
Debug and resolve complex software defects, build failures, and integration issues in collaboration with other engineers.
Work within Linux-based development environments to investigate and solve software build and execution problems.
Collaborate with engineering teams to improve software modularity, dependency management, and build efficiency.
Evaluate and help shape future software development lifecycle processes related to build automation, dependency management, and pipeline modernization.
Leverage tools such as Git, Make, and CMake while applying modern software development practices in a collaborative engineering environment.
Contribute to continuous improvement of CI/CD pipelines and software build workflows, with a focus on reliability and scalability.

Essential Skills

Strong professional experience with C/C++ software development.
Solid understanding of C/C++ dependencies, linking, compilation, and build behavior.
Hands-on experience working in Linux-based development environments.
Proven ability to debug complex, non-trivial software issues, including build and integration problems.
Experience using Git in a collaborative software development environment.
Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and software build workflows, preferably using GitLab.
Strong problem-solving ability and capacity to work independently in technically ambiguous environments.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

Experience with Make and/or CMake for build configuration and automation.
Familiarity with modern C++ standards, ideally C++11 or newer.
Understanding of key C++ concepts such as smart pointers, vectors versus arrays, heap versus stack allocation, templates, and modern memory management practices.
Exposure to package and dependency management tools used in large-scale C/C++ environments.
Experience supporting or participating in migrations to GitLab or similar CI/CD platforms.
Familiarity with Agile development environments and tools such as Jira and Confluence.
Active Secret clearance is preferred.

Work EnvironmentYou will work in a Linux-focused development environment supporting a large, complex C/C++ codebase for a mission-critical submarine acoustic system. The role emphasizes build systems, integration, and dependency management rather than user-facing feature development, giving you exposure to enterprise-scale software engineering practices. You will use tools such as Git, Make, CMake, and GitLab, and collaborate closely with other engineers in an Agile-inspired setting that may leverage tools like Jira and Confluence. The environment encourages modern software development practices, continuous integration and delivery, and ongoing improvement of build and deployment pipelines.
