Job Description

(Senior) Software Engineer: C++

Solve big problems with high stakes in a fluid, squad-style engineering team

 

📍Sydney

💼 Permanent

💰 $110k-$150k + super depending on experience

🔒 Australian citizenship = essential for NV1 clearance

 

 

“Mission critical”.

 

Over-used?

 

It's definitely a phrase we hear a lot at The Onset.

 

Unsurprising, given our clients that design engineering solutions to keep aircraft in the sky, ships afloat, and underwater robots in line of sight.

 

 

Just so happens that this company is one of those clients…

 

 

The problem

Growth = project pipeline uptick = stretched team.

 

The brief

Hire C++ engineers that can take ambiguous requirements, in mission critical* situations, design watertight* solutions and ship* them quickly.

 

The setup

Plug into a seasoned, diverse group of engineers and find your place in a project squad aligned with your skills and ambitions.

 

The hook

Solve problems today that didn't exist yesterday. Implement them tomorrow.

 

The target

"An engineer, not a developer" - this is full lifecycle engineering. No, really. Only the most ambitious and self-sufficient truly succeed here.

 

The foundation

Multithreaded C++ on Windows (some helps too). GUI design & implementation. SQL. Broad tooling & scripting from VS to Qt to Python.

 

Bonus points for

Linux. *Modern* C++ (>20).
