About the role

Embedded and desktop software that ends up in real products - the kind people actually use. Qt/C++ codebase is the core of what we ship, and we need someone who knows it well. You'd be joining a small engineering team in Bristol. There's no rigid process here - we care more about good code and clear thinking than following a framework. You'll have real ownership over what you work on.

What you'll be doing

• Writing C++ and Qt code day to day -features, fixes, refactoring where it's needed

• Working on both the UI side (QML/Qt Quick, Widgets) and lower-level integration with hardware

• Reviewing other people's code and having yours reviewed - honestly and constructively

• Getting involved in decisions about architecture, not just implementing specs

• Debugging things that are hard to reproduce - logs, GDB, a bit of patience

Requirements:

• C++17/20 - move semantics, RAII, templates, concurrency

• Qt 5.x or 6.x - Widgets and/or QML, solid understanding of the framework

• Embedded Linux - comfortable on the command line, sysfs, device interaction

• CMake - build setup from scratch, cross-compilation to ARM

• Git - branching, rebasing, clean commit history

Things that matter:

• Code that others can read and maintain without asking you questions

• You write unit tests, not just run the app to see if it works

• You can explain a technical problem clearly in writing

• Comfortable owning a piece of work from start to finish

Useful but not required:

• Hardware protocols - CAN bus, UART, I2C, SPI

• Yocto or Buildroot - building and maintaining a custom Linux image

• Qt Safe Renderer or Qt Automotive - experience in a safety-critical context

• OpenGL or Qt 3D

• Python for scripting or test automation

• Background in a regulated industry - automotive, industrial
