We currently have multiple roles with slightly different requirements as detailed below.

We are looking for experienced Senior Software Engineers to join our team. We have several long-term projects with our customer, namely Bosch, a leader in the automotive technology sector. Our relationship with Bosch dates back to 2011 when we started with just 2 C++ developers. Thanks to the quality and values of our teams, today Bosch entrusts us with 4 teams and over 20 engineers engaged on very interesting projects.

Being dedicated to quality results requires an understanding and capability of creating solutions that are inherently testable and provable. This is why we need experienced developers, able to ensure these critical requirements are handled well and who are able to design, write, and test software to meet complex requirements

You will also work with our analysts to help clarify imprecise specifications and develop an excellent understanding of the domain.

Responsibilities

Responsibility for aspects of the software architecture. 
Support the team in carrying out effective effort estimations for development work.
You understand the value of professional software engineering and work to the highest standards of quality while remaining focused on meeting requirements.
