About The Position

We’re building real-time imaging systems at the intersection of custom hardware, terahertz sensing, and high-performance C++ software—and we’re looking for a senior engineer who wants deep technical ownership, meaningful influence, and a team where every voice genuinely matters. This is a hands-on, senior-level role focused on designing and delivering performance-critical systems in a security-focused environment. You’ll work close to the hardware, collaborate across disciplines, and help shape how our products evolve from R&D into production-grade systems.

Requirements

• 5+ years of professional experience developing production-grade software in modern C++
• Strong experience with multithreading, concurrency, and performance optimization
• Background building software close to hardware, real-time systems, or complex external interfaces
• Experience with image processing, computer vision, or data-intensive pipelines
• Comfort working in Linux and Windows environments
• Familiarity with Jira or similar engineering workflow tools
• Strong communication skills and collaborative mindset

Nice To Haves

• Experience working in security-sensitive or regulated environments
• Exposure to secure coding practices or system hardening
• Embedded or firmware-adjacent development experience
• Frontend experience (Electron, React, or similar)
• Cloud or IoT integrations (e.g., AWS IoT)
• SQL or NoSQL database familiarity

Responsibilities

• Architect and develop high-performance C++ software that integrates directly with custom imaging hardware
• Design and optimize real-time, multithreaded systems for low-latency image acquisition and processing
• Build and evolve image processing pipelines in collaboration with imaging and AI engineers
• Integrate AI/ML models into production systems with a focus on inference performance, reliability, and system constraints
• Contribute to building software that meets security, reliability, and robustness requirements appropriate for sensitive environments
• Collaborate using Atlassian tools (Jira, Confluence) to plan, track, and deliver work
• Own meaningful architectural decisions and contribute to long-term technical direction

Benefits

• Joining RaySecur means working alongside a diverse and highly skilled team committed to solving meaningful security challenges.
• Our environment is fast-paced, collaborative, and focused on continuous learning, giving employees the opportunity to contribute to impactful technology while developing their own expertise.
• We support flexibility and work-life balance, offering both remote and in-office work options depending on the role.
