About the job

There is a true shift under way -- the computing world is moving toward ARM processors. Are you an incredible developer who has what it takes to contribute to this revolution? Are you excited by the idea of showcasing your work to the world?

We're looking for the best C/C++ architects in the world to make a major contribution to the open-source community, helping millions of applications move to ARM-based processors. You will enable higher efficiency, productivity and cost savings for millions of applications, and get to wear your open-source contributions and ARM expertise as a badge of honor.

What You Will Be Doing

EngineYard, part of the Trilogy family, is helping its customers move to ARM. Your job will be to modify open-source libraries that are currently x86 compatible and make them ARM compatible. You will be able to do this because of your strong understanding of C/C++ and compilers, and you will celebrate success with each accepted pull request.

What You Won’t Be Doing

You will NOT be doing traditional application development. This is a systems engineering role, focused narrowly on making open-source libraries ARM-compatible.

Senior C++ Software Engineer key responsibilities

You will take on x86-compatible libraries and:

• Examine complex build scripts to understand architecture dependencies and builds
• Edit the build scripts to transpile/compile ARM-compatible versions of the library
• Run tests
• Create a pull request as per submission guidelines of the project
• Communicate with the owners of the open-source projects as needed to help get the pull request merged

Basic Requirements

• Computer science degree or at least 15 years of experience
• Top-level C/C++ coding skills
• Background in systems programming (e.g., experience with transpilation, Kernel level programming, driver development, compilers, low-level C/C++ development)
• 99th percentile cognitive ability
• Advanced spoken English proficiency
