Job description

At BairesDev®, we've been leading the way in technology projects for over 15 years. We deliver cutting-edge solutions to giants like Google and the most innovative startups in Silicon Valley.

Our diverse 4,000+ team, composed of the world's Top 1% of tech talent, works remotely on roles that drive significant impact worldwide.

When you apply for this position, you're taking the first step in a process that goes beyond the ordinary. We aim to align your passions and skills with our vacancies, setting you on a path to exceptional career development and success.

Senior C++ Software Engineer at BairesDev

In this role, you'll build a lightweight edge runtime designed to survive disconnected, intermittent, and low-bandwidth conditions, store-and-forwarding data cleanly whenever the link drops. Working with modern C++ at the systems level, you'll build software that discovers devices, provisions digital twins, and keeps running reliably at the edge where connectivity can't be assumed. This is your opportunity to work on genuinely hard systems engineering, where resilience and recovery aren't afterthoughts, they're the whole point.

What You'll Do

• Build edge runtime software using modern C++, with a strong focus on coroutines, ownership, lifetimes, and concurrency.
• Develop IoT and edge functionality that operates under disconnected, intermittent, and low-bandwidth conditions.
• Implement device discovery, local persistence, and store-and-forward behavior for unreliable network links.
• Build and maintain secure networking using gRPC and mTLS connections.
• Author tests across the full spectrum, including unit, contract, integration, boundary, restart, and negative tests.

What We Are Looking For

• 5+ years of experience in software engineering.
• Strong proficiency in modern C++, preferably C++20, including coroutines, ownership and lifetimes, concurrency, asynchronous I/O, and defensive error handling.
• Experience with IoT and edge development, including DDIL conditions, device discovery, local persistence, and store-and-forward behavior.
• Experience with Linux or Windows systems programming, including service processes and OS-level APIs.
• Background in networking and secure transport, including gRPC, mTLS, sockets, and connection lifecycle management.
• Strong test authoring skills across unit, contract, integration, boundary, restart, and negative testing.
• Ability to explain and defend AI-assisted code, including license and dependency verification.
• Advanced proficiency in English.

Nice To Have

• Familiarity with Go.
• Experience with Clang/LLVM.
• Background in OTA and secure software updates, including signed manifests and rollback.
• Experience with local persistence tools such as SQLite or encrypted local databases.
• Familiarity with device discovery and provisioning protocols.
• Experience with OpenSSL, TLS/mTLS, or secure protocol design.
• Experience with cross-compilation for non-host processor architectures.
• Background in test infrastructure, including deterministic clocks, fault injection, sanitizers, and race detection.
• Proficiency in Python for build and test automation.
• Robotics, autonomous systems, maritime, or defense-adjacent systems experience.

How we do make your work (and your life) easier:

• 100% remote work (from anywhere).
• Excellent compensation in USD or your local currency if preferred
• Hardware and software setup for you to work from home.
• Flexible hours: create your own schedule.
• Paid parental leaves, vacations, and national holidays.
• Innovative and multicultural work environment: collaborate and learn from the global Top 1% of talent.
• Supportive environment with mentorship, promotions, skill development, and diverse growth opportunities.

Join a global team where your unique talents can truly thrive and make a significant impact!
