A specialized engineering software company is hiring a Senior C++ Engineer to support and evolve a long-standing Windows desktop application used in real-world structural and engineering workflows. This is a full-time, direct-hire role with a hybrid schedule, requiring 1–2 days per week on-site in Dallas. The core technology is modern C++ within a performance-sensitive, math-driven environment.
This opportunity is ideal for engineers who enjoy working close to the core of a product rather than around the edges. The team is looking for someone who wants to own complex technical problems, improve a mature codebase, and help move a critical product forward rather than simply keep it running. The work involves real engineering challenges, long-term thinking, and software that professionals depend on for accuracy.

  • Deep understanding of C++ fundamentals, memory management, and performance
  • Experience working on large or legacy codebases
  • Windows desktop development experience
  • Comfort working with complex logic and mathematical concepts

Desired Skills & Experience

  • Experience modernizing or refactoring older C++ systems
  • Background in engineering, scientific, or simulation software
  • Familiarity with performance tuning and optimization
  • Experience owning features end-to-end in long-lived products

What You Will Be Doing

  • Developing and enhancing core C++ functionality in a Windows desktop application
  • Refactoring and improving legacy components for maintainability and performance
  • Implementing new features tied to real-world engineering use cases
  • Collaborating with a small, experienced engineering team on long-term product direction

Tech Breakdown

  • 70% C++ core application development
  • 20% Performance optimization and refactoring
  • 10% Collaboration, design discussions, and code reviews

Daily Responsibilities

  • 85% Hands-on development
  • 5% Technical leadership and guidance
  • 10% Team collaboration

Applicants must be currently authorized to work in the U.S. on a full-time basis now and in the future.
