Full description
Work Location: Casa Grande, AZ / Maricopa, AZ
· We
are seeking a detail-oriented, highly analytical Junior Systems Software
Engineer to join our core engineering team.
· In
this role, you will design, implement, and optimize low-level application
architecture, networking protocols, and performance-critical systems. The ideal
candidate brings a strong foundation in computer science fundamentals, hands-on
experience with C++ and Python, and a passion for building responsive, scalable
software.
Key Responsibilities:
· Systems & Network Architecture: Design,
implement, and maintain custom networking components, client-server models, and
protocol resolvers (UDP/TCP, DNS, socket communications).
· Algorithm & Performance Optimization: Apply data
structures, memory management, and graph search heuristics (e.g., A*, custom
hashing, priority queues) to solve complex performance and indexing challenges.
· Testing & Quality Assurance: Develop and
execute comprehensive unit, integration, and stress tests to validate network
state synchronization, catch edge cases, and eliminate execution bottlenecks.
· Debugging & Problem Solving: Utilize
low-level debugging tools (GDB, Wireshark) to trace memory leaks, analyze
packet flow, and debug asynchronous multi-threaded or multi-client execution
paths.
· Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with
cross-functional teams to design clean, modular codebases and maintain version
control integrity across all release cycles.
Key Requirements:
· Education: Bachelor of Science in Computer
Science, Computer Engineering, or a related technical discipline (GPA 3.5+
preferred).
· Core Languages: Strong proficiency in C++ and Python.
Familiarity with C, C#, Java, SQL, or x86 Assembly is a plus.
· Systems & Networking: Solid
understanding of TCP/UDP networking principles, socket programming, caching
mechanisms, operating systems, and computer architecture.
· Tools & Environment: Hands-on
