About the Role

While primarily remote, this role requires occasional visits to the office in Coimbra or in Aveiro. We plan to open offices in Porto in the future. This approach gives team members the flexibility to work remotely while also coming together in the office for collaboration and teamwork.

• Collaborate with QA and product on behaviour and edge cases
• Participate in code reviews and engineering best practices
• Contribute within Agile processes (Scrum, Jira)

What you will bring to the role

• Strong C++ (C++17 minimum), STL
• Solid networking fundamentals (TCP/UDP, sockets)
• Experience with multithreaded/concurrent systems
• Strong debugging skills (gdb, core dumps)
• Linux development experience
• Ability to understand and maintain complex, legacy systems
• Experience with Agile and Jira/Atlassian tools

Bonus Skills

• Practical experience in VoIP or PBX systems
• VoIP protocols: SIP, RTP/RTCP, SDP, WebRTC
• Telephony/PBX systems: call routing, hunt groups, call park/pickup, feature interaction and state handling
• Boost (especially Boost.Asio)
• GitHub (PR workflows, code reviews)
