Software Engineer - C++

Five is at the forefront of European efforts to develop automated driving systems. Building on our heritage and unique experience as a pioneer in this space, we are taking what we have learned from conducting groundbreaking public road trials of autonomous vehicles to inform a robust safety assurance platform that helps tackle one of the industry's most complex challenges.

Now, as part of Bosch Mobility, we are driving innovation within the Automated Driving Alliance – a strategic partnership between Bosch and Volkswagen Group's CARIAD. We are leading the efforts to create, manage, and evaluate cloud-based simulation within a state-of-the-art standardised software platform, enabling our automotive partners to build automated driving systems that are safer, smarter, and more scalable than ever before.

We’re engineers, scientists, developers, and designers. We’re problem-solvers, dreamers, pioneers, innovators, creatives and pragmatists. We’re hard-working people, solving far-reaching challenges.

About the Team

The team you will be joining is supporttng application and component engineers across Five and Bosch (including those in our simulation and autonomous driving teams) with their use of driving scenarios.

The team works in an agile environment, and builds foundational libraries (written in C++) that support their use cases and deliver those libraries across a range of platforms (including Linux and Windows) and languages (including C++, Python, and C#).

We foster a high skill, high trust environment, where engineers are encouraged to use modern standards, functional patterns and automation to deliver working software that is timely, correct and efficient.

Our team DNA

We use modern C++, make use of the latest powerful features and we like thorough unit testing. We believe that DevOps is a culture, not a role or team, and everyone embraces it. We prefer incremental changes and iterations over long development cycles. We love getting our backlog done, and we help each other to achieve it. We don't know everything and are always eager to learn more from each other or on our own. We are not afraid of exploring new technologies that could help us to deliver faster and better.

What you will do

As a software engineer on our component libraries, day to day, you'll be expected to: define, design, implement and integrate significant features, either alone or working with other members of the team. You'll investigate and solve complex system issues and bugs. You'll provide code and design reviews for other team members. You'll help to develop and improve our CI/CD systems. You'll contribute to maintaining high technical standards, e.g. overall architecture and design patterns, continuous build systems, coding standards, etc. You'll work collaboratively with other teams across the company to coordinate development efforts and best practices.

You will work primarily in modern C++ (C++17 and above) on Linux, but will also work in Python and C# to test and deliver library wrappers in those languages.

About you

• Ideally, professional experience in developing C++ libraries or experience developing non-trivial C++ applications as part of your degree or hobby projects.
• You are passionate about writing correct code using modern C++ (C++17 and above) and want that code to deliver value by being widely used.
• You have a demonstrable background in Mathematics, either through a relevant degree or commercial experience.
• You are enthusiastic about building, delivering and maintaining a core set of libraries that support other engineering teams.
• You are happy discussing requirements and designing solutions to challenging problems across multiple teams.
• You know your way around CI/CD tools such as GitLab CI, or Github Actions, and with the practice of building and maintaining deployment pipelines.
• Any direct experience with Boost, range-v3, googletest, Protobuf, Bazel, CMake, Conan, docker, git and dealing with spatial data would be beneficial.

Benefits

Five provide an environment where you can develop your skills and deliver meaningful work that matters. Where you can have a real impact in a smart, low-ego multi-cultural team. As part of Bosch Mobility, we fuel the ideas of tomorrow and improve the technology of today. You’ll be rewarded with a competitive salary and financial package, including pension and private medical care.

Five are committed to Equal Employment Opportunity through attracting and retaining a complementary team of employees and building an inclusive environment for all.
