Senior Software Developer

We are seeking a highly skilled and versatile Senior Software Developer with at least 10 years of professional experience. This role is ideal for someone with a strong background in embedded systems and mission-critical software, who enjoys working close to the hardware layer while contributing to robust back-end architectures.

As a Senior Developer, you will work closely with product teams and customers to design, build, and maintain scalable, reliable systems. Your focus will be on back-end and embedded software development, though experience with or interest in front-end technologies is considered an asset.

Your daily life:

• Collaborate across teams to translate product and business requirements into robust technical implementations.
• Design, develop, and maintain mission-critical back-end and embedded systems.
• Write and maintain unit tests to ensure code quality and prevent regressions.
• Participate in code reviews, architecture discussions, and delivery processes.
• Assist in system validation, debugging, and troubleshooting of complex issues.
• Mentor junior developers and promote best practices in software design and maintainability.
• Engage professionally with customers and stakeholders to ensure satisfaction.

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
• 10+ years of experience in software development.
• Strong hands-on experience with C++, including work on embedded systems and mission-critical applications.
• Eagerness to learn and work with Rust (experience with Rust is a plus).
• Solid understanding of embedded systems, real-time constraints, concurrency, and software architecture.
• Proficiency with unit testing frameworks and methodologies.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work independently or collaboratively.
• Eligible to obtain a Canadian security clearance.
• Willingness to participate occasionally in front-end development tasks, such as contributing to user interfaces that interact with embedded systems.

Nice to have:

• Familiarity with JavaScript, TypeScript, and modern web frameworks (e.g., Vue.js, React).
• Understanding of responsive and adaptive UI principles.
• Experience contributing to front-end components or web-based tools used to interface with embedded systems.
