[Hiring] C++ Software Engineer @Exfold

Role Description

We’re looking for a mid-level to senior C++ Software Engineer to work on native Windows components and APIs within the Store ecosystem. This is a systems-level engineering role for someone comfortable with low-level code, technical ambiguity, and complex investigation—not general application development.

• Develop and maintain native C++ components and Windows platform APIs.
• Diagnose, reproduce, profile, and debug complex OS-level issues.
• Implement features and fixes, validate them across supported Windows versions, and support compatibility and backporting work.
• Investigate security, reliability, and performance issues, sometimes within time-sensitive release cycles.
• Take ownership of problems from initial investigation through testing and delivery, collaborating with engineers across different areas.

Qualifications

• Strong hands-on experience with modern C++—ideally C++17 or newer—including pointers, memory management, RAII, ownership, and object lifetime.
• Practical experience with multithreaded programming, synchronisation, concurrency, and safe management of shared state.
• Strong debugging and diagnostic skills, including the ability to reproduce difficult issues and isolate root causes.
• Ability to navigate large codebases, read source code and technical documentation, and learn unfamiliar technologies independently.
• Clear professional English, strong ownership, and the ability to communicate progress, risks, and expectations effectively.

Requirements

• Strong candidates may come from systems programming, native development, embedded software, driver development, gaming or engine development, electronics, or hardware-integrated software.
• Experience with other low-level languages involving explicit memory management is valuable, but you must be able to work productively in modern C++.

Helpful Experience

• Native Windows development, Win32, Windows internals, C++/WinRT, WinRT APIs, WIL, or COM.
• Windows concurrency technologies such as SRWLocks or Windows Thread Pools.
• Windows platform services such as the Registry, Group Policy, or Scheduled Tasks.
• Visual Studio, WinDbg, multithreaded debugging, profiling, or troubleshooting compilation and linking issues.
• Experience testing platform-level changes across OS versions or supporting security and compatibility fixes.
• Effective use of AI tools to accelerate investigation and development while validating the results.
