Senior Software Engineer

This is an opportunity to work on technically challenging software where performance, precision and reliability are critical. You'll be joining a team developing a core platform from the ground up, with the freedom to influence architectural decisions, tackle complex engineering problems and contribute directly to the quality of the finished product.

Write C++ that turns streams of visual data into precise, low-latency output. Our client is building the next generation of its core platform, which brings together image processing, computer vision and graphics. They want a senior engineer to help shape its architecture and solve hard performance problems.

What you’ll do

• Design and optimise multi-threaded C++ pipelines for image processing, vision and rendering.
• Develop and tune algorithms for spatial analysis, sensor alignment and scene reconstruction.
• Use parallel computing and GPU acceleration to meet strict performance targets.
• Build portable, cross-platform software for production use.
• Influence architecture, review code and help raise engineering standards.
• Take a turn on the support rota, diagnosing production issues and shipping well-tested fixes.

What you’ll bring

Essential

• Strong modern C++ (C++17 or later).
• Multi-threaded programming, profiling and performance optimisation.
• Solid grounding in algorithms, data structures and software design.
• Experience shipping cross-platform software.
• Git, CMake, automated testing and CI.

Desirable

• OpenCV, Eigen, Ceres or similar numerical and vision libraries.
• GPU computing or graphics APIs.
• Video processing or codec experience.
• Linear algebra, geometry or 3D vision.
• Conan or another C++ package manager.
• Background in simulation, gaming, imaging or other performance-critical software.
