C++ Software Engineer, Cambridge (on-site) An established Cambridge engineering company designing advanced imaging and sensor systems is looking for a C++ Software Engineer to join its in-house development team. Their technology is used by defence, security and industrial customers internationally, and is built to perform reliably in demanding real-world environments. You’ll take real ownership across the full software lifecycle, from architecture and design through to build, profiling, optimisation and production support, writing performant, maintainable modern C++ on Windows. What they’re after:
- 3+ years’ commercial C++ experience
- Strong grasp of OOP, design patterns and modern C++ standards
- Confident with the STL, memory management and concurrency (threading, mutexes)
- Comfortable with CMake/Make, Visual Studio, and Git or Subversion
- Windows development background
Nice to have: real-time systems, networking or low-level programming, Python or C#, hardware/driver interfacing, and exposure to machine learning on sensor data. A BSc in a relevant field (or equivalent hands-on experience) rounds things off. You’ll join a small, technically strong team working on genuinely advanced technology, with real investment in training and progression, plus a competitive package….
