We’re working with an established technology company building a small, highly experienced engineering team in Gothenburg.

This is a hands-on C++ software engineering role for someone who enjoys building production software, solving technically challenging problems and having genuine ownership over what they create.

You’ll be developing high-performance C++ software for a global product, working close to the underlying technology and tackling challenges around performance, networking, reliability and systems programming.

What you'll be doing

• Design, develop and ship production C++ software
• Build new functionality across a complex global product
• Work on high-performance and systems-level software
• Solve challenging problems around networking, performance and reliability
• Profile, debug and optimise C++ applications
• Work with Linux and low-level systems
• Contribute to architecture and technical decisions
• Take ownership of problems from initial idea through to production

What we're looking for

• Solid software engineering fundamentals
• Experience building and shipping production software
• Experience or interest in systems, networking or performance-focused software
• Strong debugging and problem-solving skills
• Someone who enjoys taking technical ownership and working independently

We're primarily looking for a strong C++ software engineer who enjoys working close to the technology and wants to solve genuinely interesting engineering problems.

Experience with any of the following is a bonus:

• Networking protocols
