Description
Senior Software Engineer (C++ & C# / Mission-Critical Systems)
Department: Software Development
Employment Type: Permanent employee
Schedule: Full-time
Seniority: Experienced
Location: Budapest
Are you passionate about writing clean, high-quality code and building reliable software solutions? We are looking for a Senior C++ & C# Developer to join our growing development team in Budapest, working for a multinational leader in the telecommunications sector. In this role, you’ll contribute to cutting-edge projects that power secure and efficient communication systems across the Globe.Role Overview
We are looking for a strong engineering talent with solid C++ foundations who is also open to working in C#/.NET. Our Core Communication System (CCS) is implemented in C++ and runs in Linux-based environments. Currently, this domain is owned by a single senior engineer — we are looking for someone who can grow into this system, learn its architecture deeply, and gradually take ownership.
When C++-focused development is not the primary priority, the role actively contributes to our C#/.NET-based backend services within our broader digital services and microservices ecosystem.
This role is ideal for an engineer who enjoys low-level systems thinking (C++) as well as modern backend development (C#) and wants to operate across platform boundaries.
Product & Platform Context
1. Core Communication System (C++ / Linux / Embedded-like environments)
- Telephony (PSTN) and VoIP systems
- Supervision, lawful interception, recording
- Device management & hardware integrations
- Build systems (CMake), Debian/Ubuntu environments
2. Digital Services Ecosystem (C# / .NET / Microservices)
- Distributed backend services
- Financial systems (wallets, billing, invoicing)
- APIs and integrations
- Azure-first cloud transformation (hybrid environment)
Key Responsibilities
- Contribute to the evolution and stabilization of our C++-based Core Communication System
- Gradually learn and take ownership of complex C++ modules running in Linux environments
- Collaborate on architecture decisions across C++ and C# domains
- Design and implement backend services using C# / .NET
- Contribute to microservices architecture and domain-driven design initiatives
- Integrate APIs and external systems
- Participate in CI/CD and DevOps improvements
- Ensure high reliability, performance, and security standards
- Support modernization efforts across legacy and distributed systems
- Collaborate closely with DevOps, QA, Product and other engineering teams
