C++ Software Engineer | Sydney/Melbourne, Hybrid | C++, Autonomous Systems, Computer Science, Python, Golang | Baseline Clearance
  
I'm working with an awesome international company who are looking for an experienced C++ Engineer that’s early in their career to join a growing product engineering team. Here, you’ll work closely with R&D & robotics specialists, turning prototype algorithms and systems code into production-grade, maintainable software.
  
You’ll own core backend and systems engineering capability, guide delivery quality, and work with outsourced or offshore contributors as the senior within your domain. This is a product-focused role, suited to engineers who have worked in high-reliability or regulated environments, robotics, simulation, or complex engineered systems.
  
C++ Software Engineer Responsibilities

• Optimise and productionise performance-critical algorithms and systems modules in C++
• Work with R&D teams to convert prototype code (algorithms, modelling, autonomy behaviours) into stable, maintainable production software
• Support integrations with robotics platforms (ROS1/ROS2 or other C++/Python-based frameworks)
• Contribute to GUI alignment by supporting shared frameworks and ensuring consistent engineering patterns across projects
• Provide technical oversight to offshore teams or contractors delivering backend or systems components
• Participate in architecture discussions, code reviews, and engineering quality improvements
• Help shape long-term backend and systems architecture and products

C++ Software Engineer Requirements

• Professional experience with C++ in a commercial or highly engineered environment
• Python experience including backend/API work (not just scripting or research tooling)
• C++ experience in one or more of: robotics, embedded systems, simulation, algorithm optimisation, or high-performance computing
• Background in product engineering, ideally within regulated, safety-critical, or complex engineering industries (defence, robotics, medical, industrial systems, etc.)
• Strong grounding in software engineering principles (design, testing, maintainability, structured development practices)
• Ability to interpret prototype or research-grade code and convert it into scalable, production-ready systems
• Excellent communication skills; comfortable providing technical leadership or guidance to external contributors
• Baseline clearance or ability to obtain one
• Willingness to upskill & work with other languages, Python/Golang
