Software Engineer – OpenSource (C++)

Context:

At Infomaniak, open source is at the heart of our products, and we want to be an active contributor. You will work daily on a major European open source project, interacting directly with its maintainers and community.

Your responsibilities:

• Upstream contribution: Design and propose concrete contributions to the project (fixes, features, refactoring), and carry them through to merge by interacting with maintainers and the community.
• Project security: Identify and fix vulnerabilities in C++ and server components (parsing complex formats, memory management, isolation of processes)
• Production operation: Work with our DevOps team to deploy, monitor and evolve applications
• kSuite integration: Collaborate with kSuite teams to ensure proper integration of the project within the kSuite ecosystem

• Security is part of your coding style: you think secure by design from the outset, and know how to equip it within a modern workflow

• Interest in infrastructure: Linux, containers, and understanding what a critical production service entails.
• General technical curiosity: switching from C++ to Node.js or JavaScript when necessary
