About the Opportunity
Join an exciting, innovation-driven company that creates world-class lighting and control solutions for iconic architectural and live event spaces. Their technology powers unforgettable experiences in places like Disney, Las Vegas mega-venues, and high-profile broadcasts such as the Oscars and other major live productions.
This is an R&D team building and evolving the core platforms behind large-scale lighting control systems-hardware, firmware, and the software that artists and operators rely on in real time.
The Role
We're hiring two contract C++/Qt developers to help push a next-generation platform forward while modernizing a mature, mission-critical codebase.
You'll work on:
- Enhancing and extending existing live-event control hardware/software platforms
- Tackling technical debt and legacy modernization
- Supporting a GUI refresh and workflow improvements
- Adding new hardware capabilities (e.g., new keys and control surfaces)
- Helping move components toward full 64-bit readiness
- Contributing to a major platform release targeted within 15-18 months
What You'll Be Working With
- C++14 environment
- ~1.5 million lines of code across a 25-year-old codebase
- Linux + Windows development
- Real-time systems for live production hardware/boards
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys diving into complex systems, finding root causes, and delivering clean, durable solutions.
What We're Looking For
Must-haves:
- Strong C++ engineering background (product/embedded engineering focus-not IT scripting)
- Deep experience with Qt / Qt platform development
- Solid C knowledge
- Comfort in Linux environments
- Proven root cause / bug analysis skills in large codebases
Nice-to-haves:
- Firmware or embedded programming experience
- GUI and UX-adjacent development experience
- Work with consoles, sensors, control systems, or live-event hardware
- Experience modernizing legacy systems
