• Collaborate with UI/UX designers and frontend/backend engineers to translate user requirements and interface designs into working code.
• Write clean, efficient, maintainable code using good design patterns, modular architecture and following software engineering best practices.
• Optimize application performance, memory usage and responsiveness; identify bottlenecks and drive improvements.
• Participate in code reviews, peer-reviews, debugging sessions, unit/integration testing and documentation of design/specifications.
• Support the build, release and deployment processes: version control (Git or similar), build systems (CMake/qmake), CI/CD integration.
• Troubleshoot and resolve software defects, interface issues, system integration problems and performance regressions.
• Stay up-to-date with QT framework enhancements, C++ standards (e.g., C++11/14/17) and industry best practices for UI/UX, cross-platform, or embedded applications.

• Minimum 3-5 years of professional experience in C++ software development; experience with QT (QT5/QT6) is required.
• Strong proficiency in C++ (modern standards: C++11/14/17) and object-oriented programming, data structures and algorithms.
• Hands-on experience with QT framework (Widgets, QML/Qt Quick, QtCore, QtGui, QtNetwork) and building GUI applications.
• Familiarity with version control systems (e.g., Git), build instruments (CMake, qmake) and development workflows.
• Comfortable working in Linux and/or Windows environments; understanding of cross-platform development is a plus.
• Strong problem-solving skills, ability to work independently and collaboratively with multidisciplinary teams.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English; Arabic is advantageous.
• Quality-oriented: writes code with attention to performance, readability and maintainability.
• User-/UI-centred: understands how to translate design/UX into interactive and responsive applications.
• Collaborative: able to work across teams (design, product, QA, backend) and communicate effective solutions.
• Adaptable and curious: keeps up with evolving technologies (QT, C++), explores improvements and embraces change.
