Position Overview

We’re hiring on behalf of a company in the seismic exploration space for a C++ Software Developer focused on Windows environments. This is a full-time, permanent role.

Their software gives technical teams the ability to test seismic survey designs, balance cost with subsurface image quality, and adapt to terrain and environmental constraints. You’ll work alongside domain experts to enhance tools that model trade-offs, streamline field planning, and support high-quality data acquisition.

What You’ll Do

Develop and maintain high-performance Windows desktop applications using modern C++
Build intuitive UI features that support geospatial workflows and large-scale data modeling
Implement and optimize OpenGL-based visualizations of terrain, source lines, and survey coverage
Collaborate with geoscientists and researchers to bring algorithms into production-ready code
Review and refactor legacy code, contributing to long-term platform stability
Write documentation and automated tests to support high software reliability
Participate in design sessions, code reviews, and roadmap planning

Basic Qualifications

5+ years of professional experience in C++ software development
Strong knowledge of OpenGL and performance-sensitive rendering
Experience with modern C++ standards and good software design practices
Comfortable working with technical subject matter experts outside of software
Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field
Clear communicator and self-starter who can manage ambiguity

Preferred Qualifications

Hands-on experience with Qt for GUI development
Familiarity with GIS, geophysical modeling, or spatial data visualization
Background in scientific or engineering software

The Challenges

Domain complexity: translating geophysical logic into intuitive, performant tools
Balancing technical debt reduction with the need to deliver new features
Working across disciplines with teammates who think in maps, not code
Evolving mature products without disrupting trusted field workflows

Your Impact

Help energy teams reduce acquisition costs while improving subsurface imaging results
Advance software used to plan safer, faster, and more accurate seismic surveys
Influence the future of a platform that supports both operational agility and scientific precision
Bring modern engineering practices into a highly specialized technical environment
