• Owning the full software stack for data acquisition services (from build to deployment)
• Working on systems handling large data volumes and performance-critical workloads
• Building clean, robust interfaces for deployment, monitoring & operations
• Collaborating closely with system engineers and integrators in a multidisciplinary environment
• Driving best practices around CI/CD, automation, testing & documentation

Tech environment (core focus)

• C++ (strong focus – 5+ years)
• Deep understanding of modern C++ standards
• High-performance computing concepts
• Network programming
• Experience with data-intensive systems / big data pipelines

Nice to have (not mandatory):

• Python or Rust
• Docker, Ansible, CI/CD pipelines
• Git, structured development workflows, package management (e.g. Conan)

What theyre looking for

• Senior-level C++ engineer with solid, real-world systems experience
• Someone who enjoys complex, long-lived software rather than short-term features
• Comfortable working in a research / engineering-driven environment
• Collaborative, communicative, and technically curious
• English required | German is a plus (or willingness to learn)

Why this role?

• Meaningful work supporting world-class R&D
• Technically challenging problems (performance, data, reliability)
• Stable environment with modern engineering practices
• Excellent work-life balance & flexible working model
• Long-term projects where quality matters more than speed
