Job Summary:

We are seeking a focused and highly skilled

Software Engineer

with strong, hands-on experience in

Windows and Linux development , containerized environments, and virtualization platforms. This role involves contributing to a modern, cloud-native software stack with

recent and relevant experience in Visual

,

Kubernetes ,

KubeVirt, Docker and exposure within C++ . If you're passionate about software engineering and thrive in environments that require deep technical expertise, we want to talk to you.

Key Responsibilities: Design, develop, and maintain C++ applications on

Windows and Linux

platforms. Work with

Kubernetes clusters

and

Docker containers

to deploy and manage applications. Integrate and support

KubeVirt

for virtualized workloads within Kubernetes. Lead the effort to

migrate existing Windows-based C++ software to Linux , optimizing for performance and maintainability. Write robust

unit tests

using frameworks such as

Google Test ,

CppUnit , or similar. Collaborate with cross-functional teams including DevOps, QA, and Product Management to deliver reliable, scalable solutions. Participate in code reviews, debugging, and root cause analysis of complex issues. Required Qualifications:

5+ years of experience

in

Visual C++

development on the

Windows platform

- recent or current. 1-2 years of hands-on experience

working with

Kubernetes

and

Docker containers . Experience with

KubeVirt

or equivalent virtualization platforms in cloud-native environments. Proficient in both

Windows and Linux C++ development . Demonstrated ability to

convert or port Windows-based C++ code to Linux

Dallas-based

candidates. Key skills:

Kubernetes, KubeVirt, Docker, AWS

experience. Screening Issues with Kubernetes Candidates

Screening for Kubernetes roles now includes both manager and Kubernetes expert. Candidates often claim Kubernetes experience without sufficient knowledge. New screening process implemented as of today to verify actual Kubernetes skills. No current recruitment for C++ positions; focus remains on Kubernetes roles. Refining the Interview Process

Interview on Friday failed due to candidate's lack of hands-on Kubernetes experience. Initial requirement: engineers with both C++ and Kubernetes expertise. Requirement changed: now seeking one C++ engineer and one Kubernetes expert with recent hands-on experience. Kubernetes expert must have current or recent job experience, ideally 5-7 years. Open to candidates with strong DevOps and Kubernetes skills, not necessarily both C++ and Kubernetes. Role Requirements: Kubernetes vs. C++

Seeking candidate with strong Kubernetes hands-on experience, preferably based in Dallas. Team currently has two members in Dallas; location alignment preferred. Ideal profile combines C++ engineering and Kubernetes expertise, but such candidates are rare. Recent focus shifted toward DevOps and Kubernetes skills over specific programming languages. Candidate Dinesh highlighted as strong in DevOps and Kubernetes; Alex identified as primarily C++ focused. Acceptable Backgrounds and Skills

Position requires hands-on experience with Kubernetes, but know how to read C++. Hands on Kubernetes, KubeVirt, and Docker is important. Strong Kubernetes skills prioritized; C++ familiarity preferred but not expert level. Candidates with high aptitude and strong Kubernetes experience considered, even if primary background is Java or C#. Basic familiarity with C++ increases likelihood of success in the role. Project Timeline and Urgency

App delivery deadline:

December 15, 2024 . Project must start by

September 1, 2024

to avoid delays. First interview scheduled for

30 minutes . C++ development paused; focus shifted to

Kubernetes .
