Software Engineer C#/C++

SOFTWARE DEVELOPER C++ & C# | MUNICH

24-Month Secure ANÜ Engagement — Up to €100,000 p.a. — 60% Home Office — 2 Positions

THE ROLE

Most C# work in Germany is line-of-business applications — CRUD screens, internal tooling, someone else's database. This is device and system software: the code that runs on the instruments themselves, in a company whose products are used to test and secure the communications infrastructure other companies depend on.

You would implement device and system software in C++ and C#, take requirements through analysis and conceptualisation yourself rather than receiving finished tickets, and integrate what you build into existing systems that are already in the field. Two positions are open, so this is a team being grown rather than a gap being filled.

YOU WILL

• Implement device and system software in C++ and C# — the software that runs on the products, not the software that reports on them
• Take requirements from analysis through to conceptualisation for software components, working out what needs building rather than being handed a specification
• Integrate new software components into existing software systems already deployed with customers
• Write automated component and system tests as part of delivery, so correctness is proven rather than assumed
• Work inside an established agile team with Jira, alongside engineers who know the hardware as well as the code

ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENTS

• Completed degree in computer science or a comparable field — this one is checked, not assumed
• Excellent object-oriented development in C#, and ideally C++ alongside it. C# leads here; strong C# with credible C++ is in scope
• Solid working knowledge of design patterns, applied on real systems rather than recognised from a book
• PostgreSQL — you have designed against it and queried it, not just connected to it
• Experience delivering inside an agile software team, ideally with Jira
• Good German — this is a German engineering environment and the working language reflects that
• Citizenship of an EU member state or an allied nation. This position is subject to export control regulations, so it is a hard requirement rather than a preference

ADVANTAGEOUS

• Knowledge of mobile communication protocols — genuinely useful here rather than a nice line on a CV
• Background in test and measurement, secure communications, broadcast or another instrumentation-led environment
• Experience where the software ships on a device and cannot be patched weekly, so quality is designed in
• Automated test frameworks at component and system level

WHY THIS ONE

Two positions on the same requisition, which is unusual — it means budget is signed off for a pair and there is no single-seat bottleneck holding it up.

60% home office on embedded-adjacent work is rare. Device and system software normally means the lab, five days a week. Here it is two days on site in Munich and the rest wherever you work best.

And the C# is real. Most engineers who want to work on instruments are told their C# is the wrong half of their CV. On this one it is the half that leads.
