Company mission
To empower companies to connect with their customers in a whole new way.
Role
Who you are
- You have 5+ years of experience writing production-quality C or C++ code
- You have hands-on experience with multi-threaded programming, including concurrency patterns and thread synchronization primitives
- You understand performance optimization at the system level — you know how to find bottlenecks and eliminate them
- You have strong debugging skills and are comfortable diving deep into complex, unfamiliar codebases
- You have strong written communication skills — you'll be producing requirements and design documents, and occasionally working through complex technical issues directly with customers
Desirable
- You know Java — and bonus points if you've worked with JNI (Java Native Interface)
- You have experience with networking protocols, including UDP multicast
- You've done socket programming at a low level
- You've used performance profiling tools and have a methodology for systematic performance analysis
- You have experience with messaging middleware — UM, Aeron, TIBCO EMS, Tibco RV, Kafka, or similar
What the job involves
- The Senior Software Engineer SMTS role is part of the Ultra Messaging (UM) team, a small, specialized group of engineers building and maintaining one of the industry's most demanding real-time messaging middleware platforms
- Ultra Messaging is mission-critical infrastructure for some of the world's largest financial institutions — including major global banks, trading firms, market makers, and exchanges — where microseconds matter and reliability is non-negotiable
- You'll be working on a mature, production-grade, system-level C codebase that has been powering real-time financial data flows since 2004
- If you're a low-level systems programmer who loves performance, concurrency, and working on software that has to work right, every time — this is your role
- Analyze requirements for new features, enhancements, and bug fixes; produce clear requirements documents
- Evaluate the existing codebase to determine optimal design approaches; produce design documents
- Implement changes primarily in the core C layer, with occasional work in Java (via JNI) and .NET (C#) API wrappers for cross-platform support
- Write and execute development-level tests to validate correctness and performance
- Collaborate with and support QA and customer support engineers throughout the development lifecycle
- Occasionally engage directly with customers on technically complex issues when escalation is warranted
Our take
Salesforce is a global cloud computing company, best known for its on-demand, comprehensive customer relationship management (CRM) solutions. The company was launched to mitigate the doubts that business owners felt regarding third party companies holding their data.
By providing essential, customer-oriented CRM software, Salesforce places itself at the heart of digitised businesses. Furthermore, by building out its AI capabilities, the company removes the complexity of AI, enabling any business to deliver smarter, personalised and more predictive customer experiences.
Due to the continued innovation offered by the company, over 150,000 companies, both big and small, are growing their business with Salesforce today. Despite a tumultuous 2023 filled with activist investors, a boardroom shake-up and the unprecedented step-down of Co-CEO Bret Taylor, Salesforce continues to close several acquisition deals and managed to drive up its stock value by 96% from the end of 2022 to 2023.
