We are focusing on creating a suite of developer-focused tools driven by state of the art AI systems that provide a frictionless boost to your working day. We intelligently and automatically generate unit tests so that you can focus on what you do best. We are always looking to hire new talent to join us on our journey to create a pivotal product that will change the frontiers of coding forever.

At Diffblue, you will have the opportunity to collaborate with former computer science professors and experts in advanced disciplines such as AI, static analysis, and software verification. We promote an environment in which we not only support and learn from each other but also motivate one another to push the boundaries in our own specialisms.

Position

We are currently searching for a C++ expert to contribute to the development of a series of automated code analysis and refactoring tools. You will be a motivated and adaptable individual with a background in C++, algorithm design, and compiler architectures.

Day to day we will expect you to:

  • Independently implement and test C++ modules

  • Identify bottlenecks and bugs, and devise solutions to these problems

  • Help maintain code quality, organization, and automation

  • Efficiently express new algorithms devised by the research team in C++

  • Liaise with research engineers to discuss required features

Requirements

  • Extensive experience in C++, C++11, and C++14 with a thorough knowledge of the standard library.

  • Knowledge of algorithms. Most of "quicksort", "Dijkstra's algorithm", "AVL tree", "quadratic complexity", and "undecidability" will ring a bell with you.

  • Experience working with versioning systems, such as git.

  • Proven experience in contributing to large C++ projects.

  • Proven experience with compiler architectures, parsers, and syntax trees.


Desirable skills: 

We’re always happy to train and coach our staff, so if you don’t have these let us know and we’ll work with you to develop your skills.

  • Routine in unit testing.

  • Familiarity with language tools, such as GDB, gprof, and Valgrind.

  • Knowledge of compilers, and tools used to implement them.
