Junior Backend Systems Engineer (Python/C++)

We are seeking adetail-oriented, highly analytical Junior Systems Software Engineer to join ourcore engineering team. In this role, you will design, implement, and optimizelow-level application architecture, networking protocols, and performance-criticalsystems. The ideal candidate brings a strong foundation in computer sciencefundamentals, hands-on experience with C++ and Python, and a passion forbuilding responsive, scalable software.

Key Responsibilities:

·        Systems & Network Architecture: Design,implement, and maintain custom networking components, client-server models, andprotocol resolvers (UDP/TCP, DNS, socket communications).

·        Algorithm & Performance Optimization: Apply datastructures, memory management, and graph search heuristics (e.g., A*, customhashing, priority queues) to solve complex performance and indexing challenges.

·        Testing & Quality Assurance: Develop andexecute comprehensive unit, integration, and stress tests to validate networkstate synchronization, catch edge cases, and eliminate execution bottlenecks.

·        Debugging & Problem Solving: Utilizelow-level debugging tools (GDB, Wireshark) to trace memory leaks, analyzepacket flow, and debug asynchronous multi-threaded or multi-client executionpaths.

·        Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner withcross-functional teams to design clean, modular codebases and maintain versioncontrol integrity across all release cycles.

Key Requirements:

·        Education: Bachelor of Science in ComputerScience, Computer Engineering, or a related technical discipline (GPA 3.5+preferred).

·        Core Languages: Strong proficiency in C++ and Python.Familiarity with C, C#, Java, SQL, or x86 Assembly is a plus.

·        Systems & Networking: Solidunderstanding of TCP/UDP networking principles, socket programming, cachingmechanisms, operating systems, and computer architecture.

·        Tools & Environment: Hands-onexperience with Linux/Bash, Git/GitHub, GDB,and Wireshark. Experience with SFML, Unity, or VR/AR engines isdesirable.

·        CS Fundamentals: Proven command of object-orienteddesign, algorithmic complexity, recursive problem-solving, and concurrent statemanagement.

Desired Competencies:

·        Self-startercapable of managing end-to-end projects—from requirement mapping tocomprehensive testing.

·        Passionfor interactive media, high-performance computing, or game engine mechanics.

·        Strongwritten and verbal communication skills for technical documentation and codereviews.
