Position Responsibilities:
- Designing and implementing the remote C2 architecture connecting Forterra, existing government, and partner user interfaces to our autonomous vehicle platforms.
- Work with a team of developers to design, implement, and maintain Forterra user interface software products that leverage this C2 architecture.
- Promote clean, efficient, informative, and enjoyable user experiences that minimize operator load.
- Support the documentation of the C2 APIs and the continual alignment and integration with third party systems.
- Enable and embody a culture of software quality and reliability in a scaled production focused environment.
Required Skills and Abilities:
- Strong programming ability in modern C++frameworks.
- Experience with AWS or Azure.
- Experience with lossy and high-latency communications frameworks.
- Strong Linux development environment experience.
- Self-motivated, a flexible team player with good written and oral skills, and able to work effectively in a fast-paced environment.
- Successful team members will aggressively reduce risk, understand and focus on value in an agile environment, and be willing to proactively solve problems and take on gaps to push the product forward with high quality and impact to our customers.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience with Qt.
