The Technical Leader is the technical authority for C++‑based applications, responsible for technical design, implementation quality, performance, and long‑term sustainability of the systems delivered by the team.
Building on strong C++ expertise, the Technical Leader guides, coaches, and enables the team, while remaining actively involved in complex technical topics and architectural decisions.
What you will do:
Technical Leadership & Architecture
Act as the technical reference for C++ development within the team.
Define and co‑design the technical architecture in collaboration with the team and architects.
Ensure high‑performance, low‑latency, and reliable designs for critical systems.
Validate technical choices, frameworks, and libraries used in the C++ stack.
Guarantee coherent integration of the application within the global Information System.
Hands‑On Development
Contribute directly to complex or critical C++ developments.
Review and validate code to ensure robustness, performance, and maintainability.
Support the team in troubleshooting production issues, performance bottlenecks, and memory issues.
Promote modern C++ standards and best practices (C++17/20).
Quality, Performance & Reliability
Be accountable for:
Code quality and technical debt management
Performance, latency, and scalability
Stability and resilience of production systems
Security and obsolescence management
Ensure quality is a shared responsibility across the team.
Promote engineering best practices:
Clean code
Unit and integration testing
Code reviews
Continuous refactoring
Team Enablement
Support the team during technical design sessions, refinement, and problem‑solving workshops.
Coach developers on C++ best practices, performance optimization, and system design.
Facilitate knowledge sharing and skill transfer within the team and technical chapter.
Help the team become autonomous and accountable for technical decisions.
Technology Watch & Continuous Improvement
Maintain an active technology watch on C++, tooling, compilers, performance profiling, and architectures.
Initiate and contribute to Proofs of Concept (PoCs) when relevant.
Improvement of development practices and tooling.
