Software Engineer II - C++/Rust

You will be a core contributor to the software systems that keep critical infrastructure, public events, and military operations safe from drone threats. As part of a high-performing engineering team, you will build and evolve the low-level, performance-critical software that sits at the heart of Dedrone's detection platform. This is a meaningful opportunity to deepen your Rust expertise while driving a strategic modernization effort — working on software that operates at real-world scale with real-world consequences.

Responsibilities

Design, develop, and maintain high-performance C++ applications within Dedrone's detection and tracking platform, with a focus on correctness, low latency, and minimal I/O overhead; Contribute to the incremental migration of existing C++ components to Rust, applying practical Rust development skills in a production environment; Implement and optimize parallel processing pipelines on Linux systems, ensuring efficient use of multi-core hardware and system resources; Collaborate closely with teammates in code reviews, architecture discussions, and knowledge sharing — with a shared commitment to clean, maintainable code; Diagnose and resolve performance bottlenecks, memory issues, and concurrency bugs across complex, real-time systems; Participate in defining and upholding engineering standards as the team evolves its tooling and language stack

Requirements

3+ years of professional software development experience, with a strong foundation in C++; Practical, hands-on experience developing Rust applications — you have shipped Rust code and understand its ownership and concurrency model; Solid understanding of parallel and concurrent programming patterns and how to apply them safely and efficiently; Experience developing and deploying software on Linux systems, including familiarity with system-level APIs and tooling; A methodical approach to performance: you profile before you optimize, and you understand the cost of memory, threads, and I/O; B.Sc. in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field — or equivalent practical experience
