Job Description:

Senior C++ Engineer – High Performance Systems

Oxford (Hybrid), £90k to £95k

Avanti Recruitment is working with a deep‑tech company behind a high‑performance reasoning engine deployed on over 60 million devices worldwide.

This is core engine development for an elite engineering team working on core C++ systems, where performance, correctness, and engineering quality are absolutely critical.

The Role

You’ll be working on a performance‑critical C++ system, tackling problems around:

  • Complex data processing and reasoning
  • Concurrency and multithreaded systems
  • Memory efficiency and low‑level optimisation
  • Cross‑platform behaviour (Linux, Windows, macOS)
  • System‑level interactions where required

This is hands‑on, systems‑level engineering.

Skills required

  • 10‑15 years of software development experience
  • Strong commercial experience with modern C++ (C++17 or later)
  • Background in systems‑level or performance‑critical development
  • Solid understanding of multithreading / concurrency
  • Comfortable working close to the system (memory, OS behaviour, performance)
  • Passion for writing high‑quality, maintainable code

Bonus points

  • Experience with low‑level optimisation
  • High‑performance backend systems
  • Quant / trading systems
  • Database or engine development
  • Gaming / real‑time systems
  • Familiarity with cross‑platform development

What Makes This Role Different

  • Work on a core product used at global scale
  • Strong focus on engineering quality over shortcuts
  • Backed by a major global technology organisation, offering stability and long‑term growth

If you’re a C++ engineer who enjoys working on complex, high‑performance systems and wants to be part of something genuinely impactful, we’d love to hear from you
