Description

Senior C++ Software Engineer

Transformational Security, LLC is seeking a Senior C++ Software Engineer to join our software team. You will contribute across multiple product codebases supporting in-place monitoring, electronic-security, and related mission systems. This is an individual-contributor engineering role: you will take technical direction from our architect and apply strong fundamentals to deliver correct, robust, high-performance code across new development and legacy maintenance.

U.S. citizenship required. Ability to obtain and maintain a Top Secret security clearance.

About Transformational Security

Transformational Security, LLC develops advanced RF and digital technology for Electronic Warfare, SIGINT, counterintelligence, and secure communications from 1 kHz through 50 GHz and beyond. Our solutions range from large-scale integrated systems to deployable man-pack platforms.

Role overview

You will work across several products and subsystems. Typical C++ assignments include:

Server-side services and distributed networking

Device integration and data pipelines

Signal-processing components

C++ GUI maintenance and enhancement (existing graphical applications)

Integration with Python and React front ends on products that use separate UI layers

Assignments depend on project priorities. Some codebases embed UI directly in C++; others pair a C++ backend with a web or scripting layer.

You will work on performance-critical systems: multithreaded services, concurrent data paths, and cross-component integration. The team uses frontier AI models as a routine part of the development workflow.

Responsibilities

Design, implement, and maintain high-performance C++ applications and libraries across assigned products.

Develop new features and maintain legacy code in existing codebases.

Apply strong correctness, robustness, and performance discipline under technical direction from the project architect.

Work with multithreading, concurrent programming, and object lifecycle management in production systems.

Build and operate within our CI/CD pipeline: Git, GitLab, Docker, Linux, scripting, and Make-based builds.

Participate in code reviews as a contributor; incorporate feedback and raise quality through collaboration.

Use AI-assisted development tools effectively - including frontier LLMs, agentic coding workflows, and MCP-integrated tooling - as a routine part of delivering and reviewing software.

Collaborate with cross-functional engineers (Python, React, infrastructure) on integration points and API contracts.

Debug complex issues across distributed components and legacy subsystems.
