Senior C++ Engineer (all gender) | onsite Munich

WHO WE ARE

SECLOUS stands for innovation, trust and security in our interconnected world. Instead of new security products, we deliver the needed capabilities to build more secure products – without compromising efficiency, interoperability or control. Our patented Non-Visible Data (NVD) technology offers protection invisible to users and effortless for developers.

Our team combines technical expertise and interpersonal skills. This has earned us numerous awards and a place among Germany's most innovative cyber security companies.

non-visible data. visible trust.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

In this role, you'll not only help shape the foundation of our NVD platform but also ensure that our development workflows are continuously evolving – with stability and innovation going hand in hand.

Innovation Development: You will actively shape the future of our NVD Core and related libraries by designing and implementing new features. Together with the team, you'll translate complex requirements into robust and modern C++ solutions.

Clean Code: Maintaining and improving existing code is just as important to us as innovation. You'll optimize performance, extend APIs, and ensure that our codebase remains clean, efficient, and backward-compatible.

Network Expertise: Whether it’s TCP, UDP, MQTT, or SMTP – you’ll work hands-on with network-heavy modules and custom protocol implementations. Ensuring stability under load and solving low-level socket issues will be part of your challenges.

Quality Focus: Quality is key. You'll write and maintain unit and integration tests using GoogleTest/GoogleMock, and bring performance bottlenecks to light with profiling and debugging. Introducing new tools is encouraged.

Collaboration: We believe in strong team dynamics. You'll take part in design reviews and architectural discussions, contributing your perspective while learning from others.

• Strong communication skills for design discussions and code reviews

No "must have", but nice and helpful:

• CMake proficiency for writing and refactoring build scripts
• Unit and mock testing with GoogleTest/GoogleMock
• IT-security and cryptography knowledge (willingness to learn advanced concepts)
• Performance-profiling tools (Valgrind, perf, VTune) or static analysis frameworks
• Experience with packaging tools (Conan)

YOU WILL BE A PERFECT FIT IF...

• You bring commitment and passion for innovative technology and continuous learning
