C++ Systems Software Engineer – 3‑Month AI Project (Remote)

About the role

We are looking for a highly skilled C/C++ engineer to join a 3‑month AI‑focused project. The role involves developing system‑level software, integrating open‑source libraries, and building backend infrastructure for model training and evaluation pipelines that support intelligent software maintenance tools.

Key responsibilities

• Develop, maintain, and extend high‑performance, secure system software in C/C++.
• Integrate and work with open‑source projects such as OpenSSL, FFmpeg, glibc, systemd, tcpdump, libssh2, ImageMagick, and FreeRDP.
• Design tools and infrastructure to support model training and evaluation workflows.
• Build systems for suggesting code patches based on bug reports, issue descriptions, and vulnerability IDs.
• Automate assessment of pull‑requests and patch diffs for correctness and completeness.
• Develop solution plans, set up reproducible environments, and evaluate test outcomes.
• Collaborate with AI engineers on integrations involving Rust bindings and Python‑based orchestration tools.
• Analyze low‑level system behavior using profiling, tracing, and debugging tools.
• Write clear, maintainable code and documentation for internal systems and external libraries.

Required profile

• 4+ years of professional experience in C and/or C++ (C99+, C++11/14/17).
• Strong understanding of systems programming, memory management, and networking internals.
• Hands‑on experience with the Linux kernel, glibc, and multithreaded programming.
• Familiarity with open‑source libraries such as OpenSSL, zlib, FFmpeg, libssh2, ImageMagick, and FreeRDP.
• Proficiency with debugging and diagnostics tools like gdb, valgrind, perf, and tcpdump.
