C++ Software Developer

Ever wanted to work on software that protects hundreds of thousands of machines worldwide - and actually own the code you write?

We're looking for a mid-level C++ Software Engineer to join our small, agile team working on mission-critical cyber security software. This isn't just another dev role - you'll have real ownership, from design through to production, working on complex problems that matter to enterprise customers globally.

What you'll be doing:

• Building and enhancing core features in modern C++ (C++17), primarily on Windows with growing Linux opportunities
• Designing high-quality APIs in multithreaded environments
• Taking ownership of substantial code segments with minimal hand-holding
• Delivering customer-focused solutions at pace - this is a fast-moving tea

What we need from you:

• Good commercial C++11/14/17 experience on Windows / Visual Studio
• A track record of writing clean code and multi-threading
• The ability to work independently and take initiative
• Understanding of JavaScript, TypeScript or Angular code is a nice to have (although they have a dedicated UI JavaScript team)

What's in it for you?

• £40,000–£50,000 (Depending on experience)
• 9% employer-only pension contribution
• Flexible benefits package including life assurance
• Hybrid working – 3 days in Manchester office
• Make a genuine technical impact in a small team with rapid release cycles

Location: Manchester central (hybrid)
Start: ASAP/New Year

The process: CV review → technical take-home challenge → in-person interview

Sound interesting? If you're a C++ Software Developer who values autonomy, technical challenge, and seeing your work make a real difference, we'd love to hear from you.
