Senior C++ Engineer

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior C++ Engineer to join our Azul Platform Prime engineering team. In this role you will work on the development and optimization of high-performance, low-level software for VM runtime with focus on developing and maintaining tools required to profile, debug and optimize virtual machine (VM).

What you'll do

• Design, develop, maintain and optimize high-performance, low-level C++ code for system-critical components of JVM runtime that ensure minimal overhead and maximum efficiency in code execution.
• Design, develop and maintain tooling that supports the development and diagnosis of virtual machine, such as debuggers, profilers, disassemblers and other tools to monitor VM execution, memory usage, garbage collection, and other runtime metrics.
• Utilize assembly language or intrinsics for target-specific optimizations (e.g. SIMD instructions for vectorization) to produce efficient and optimized code that interacts directly with hardware or OS-level APIs.
• Perform detailed debugging and analysis of software issues. Working on complex customer problems based on limited set of available data and driving them to solutions.
• Develop tests to demonstrate improvement. Participate in code reviews.

We're looking for a person who has

• Strong proficiencyin C++ with in-depth experience in writing low-level, high-performance code - 5-7 years of experience.
• Knowledge of the design and implementation of VMs and language runtimes. Familiarity with JVM internals is highly desirable.
• Experience with tools like debuggers, profilers, and performance analyzers and skills of using them for solving complex problems.
• Strong understanding of assembly and ability to integrate it with C++ for low-level optimizations.
• Solid experience with low-level programming concepts such as memory management, pointers, concurrency and multi-threading.
• Understanding of hardware architectures such as x86 and ARM and internals of operating systems such as Linux and Mac OS.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related field as a minimum.

We offer

• Comprehensive compensation and healthcare packages
• Equity Program – be part of our success
• Referral Program
• Work-life balance, remote-first, paid time off, company shutdown, holidays
• Work with top experts worldwide who contribute to the Java ecosystem
