## About the role

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer with deep C++ and real-time systems experience to build the simulation layer of the SIE platform. This is a systems software role: you will design and write the services that let independent simulators share one world — a common clock, a common entity namespace, and a clear model of who owns what — and the tooling that lets users author, reuse, and debug the scenarios they run. This is a new area with a wide surface. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- 7+ years of professional software engineering experience
- Deep, current production experience in modern C++ (C++17 or newer) — you are fluent in ownership and lifetime, move semantics, templates, and the standard library
- Experience building networked, concurrent, or real-time systems in C++, including multithreading, synchronization, and the failure modes that come with them
- Strong systems fundamentals: memory layout and allocation behavior, cache effects, sockets and UDP/TCP, serialization, and Linux
- Demonstrated ability to profile and optimize a real system, and to reason about latency and throughput with numbers rather than intuition
- Experience owning an ambiguous, cross-cutting project end-to-end and driving it to production
