We’re looking for  C++ Gurus to join us in changing the way the world moves. 

If you love a challenge, are passionate about technology and are full of spark, energy, and ambition, this could be the dream role for you. Our team of rock-solid software engineers, technologists, futurists, and dreamers are changing how people think and feel about cars.

To be clear: this is no ordinary software engineering role. We’re looking for someone who is skilled in magic and has magical powers – someone that loves autonomy to experiment and make decisions on their own; someone who stands out and who can contribute big things.

Naturally, all the usual stuff applies. Apart from excellent technical skills, you’ll be a -> 

• problem-solver, 
• a planner
• and a doer, 

Under your influence, things run like clockwork. But you’re no clock-watcher. You bring energy and star-quality to what you do, engineering success with a smile :).

In return, you’ll be surrounded by some of the best talents in the business, in an inspiring environment where our people are well looked after, happy and part of a connected team that’s changing the future of mobility.

Superstar engineers need superstar projects:

• from autonomous driving to electrification,
• from car-sharing services to vehicle connectivity,

Critical TechWorks operates at the cutting-edge of the BMW Group’s technologies.

As part of the TechWorks team, you’ll create high-quality, reliable software components that help make vehicles safer as well as more eco-friendly and fun to drive.

Whatever you’re working on, here’s the lowdown on the technical skills you’re likely to have:

• Sound knowledge of objected-oriented languages and software architectures
• A solid understanding of distributed software architectures
• Significant experience using C++ (preferably C++11 or superior)
• Experience in the use of GNU/Linux (development, shell scripting and basic administration)
• Optional: familiarity with AUTOSAR, QT, OpenGL and automotive infotainment

• Optional: understanding of basic electronics laboratory instrumentation

Anything else?

Apart from great technical skills, our environment is fast-paced and 100% agile, and prioritizes autonomy, teamwork, interaction and resilience.

We’re organized into Scrum teams and projects typically consist of one or more teams sharing a common development, configuration management and continuous delivery environment.

This means our C++ Guru should possess the following skills:

• Availability to perform Operations outside the working hours if needed (extra compensation will be applicable).
• Great people skills that foster a supportive environment, constructive feedback and ideas sharing.
• Excellent oral communication and writing skills (English).
• Experience with Continuous Integration and Delivery tools (e.g. Git, Jenkins, JIRA, Gerrit).
• Experience of agile methodologies, particularly Scrum.
• A real passion for learning, doing things better and helping others.
• Availability to travel abroad for short periods, as required.
• German skills will be a plus.

At Critical Techworks we are creating an inclusive culture that values our people’s different viewpoints and experiences, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, age, color, ethnicity, religion, or disability.
