Senior C++ Software Engineer

Job summary

SENIOR C++ SOFTWARE ENGINEER Transformational Security, LLC is seeking a Senior C++ Software Engineer to join our software team. You will contribute across multiple product codebases supporting in-place monitoring, electronic-security, and related mission systems.

Qualifications

• citizenship required.
• Deep understanding of C and C++ fundamentals — language semantics, memory model, and runtime behavior — not merely familiarity with the standard library.
• Solid grounding in computing principles : algorithms, data structures, and systems thinking.
• Multithreading and concurrent programming experience, including safe object lifecycle management.
• Proven ability to analyze, navigate, and extend complex codebases — including legacy code.
• Strong problem-solving and debugging
• Experience working with frontier AI models in a software engineering context, such as:
• AI coding collaboration — LLM-assisted IDEs and assistants (e.g., Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Claude, GPT-class models) for design, implementation, testing, and refactoring
• MCP (Model Context Protocol) usage — connecting assistants to repositories, databases, APIs, and internal
• The strongest candidates combine language and runtime depth with the ability to take direction, learn our conventions quickly, and apply first principles inside our codebase .
• Experience with AI-assisted development is a plus; we value engineers who can grow into our AI-augmented workflow.
• This is not an architect or tech-lead role.

Responsibilities

• You will contribute across multiple product codebases supporting in-place monitoring, electronic-security, and related mission systems.
• You will work across several products and subsystems .
• You will work on performance-critical systems: multithreaded services, concurrent data paths, and cross-component integration.
• Design, implement, and maintain high-performance C++ applications and libraries across assigned products.
• Develop new features and maintain legacy code in existing codebases.
• Apply strong correctness, robustness, and performance discipline under technical direction from the project architect.
• Work with multithreading, concurrent programming, and object lifecycle management in production systems.
• Build and operate within our CI/CD pipeline : Git, GitLab, Docker, Linux, scripting, and Make-based builds.
• Participate in code reviews as a contributor; incorporate feedback and raise quality through collaboration.
• Use AI-assisted development
