# Lead Software Engineer - C/C++ Enterprise Systems

> Integrant · Cairo, Egypt (Hybrid) · — · Posted 2026-06-04

**Workplace:** hybrid

**Department:** Software Development

## Description

**About Integrant**

Integrant is a custom software development company partnering with enterprise clients in the USA. We build scalable, production-grade software with a strong engineering culture focused on collaboration, quality, and continuous growth. Engineers work closely with international clients and technical leaders on complex, long-running products — and move across enterprise application programs and modern web delivery as client needs evolve. We are building agentic engineering pods; we look for engineers who combine deep technical judgment with hands-on delivery and curiosity about AI-assisted development practices.

**Role Overview**

We are seeking an experienced, high-end software engineer with deep, long-term C and C++ experience on complex, production software — not a short exposure or academic-only background. You will join an enterprise C/C++ application program as the initial assignment, while maintaining a profile that is not C/C++-only and contribution to agentic pod delivery over time.

You are a strong fit if you:

-   Have many years of professional software engineering on non-trivial, long-lived systems (10+ years software development preferred; 15–20+ years total welcome where depth is evident).
-   Bring solid, demonstrated C/C++ on complex applications — maintenance, extension, debugging, and safe change on existing production codebases.
-   Have 2–3+ years of hands-on C/C++ on application software in production for the initial assignment — not required to be recent.
-   Think in terms of production ownership: incidents, root cause, diagnostics, regression risk, and high availability (downtime impact, safe releases).
-   Are hands-on, current, and technically credible — not coasting on legacy stack alone.
-   Have credibility in modern software delivery (Agile, Git, code review, testing) and interest and adjacent capability toward AI / agentic engineering.

This is not a generic “Senior” backend role and not greenfield-only.

**Key Responsibilities**

### Enterprise application (initial focus)

-   Design, develop, debug, and maintain enterprise software using C and C++.
-   Enhance, fix, and regression-test existing product code under production pressure.
-   Work with SQL Server and database-backed features; understand data, performance, and availability impact.
-   Troubleshoot complex production issues using logs, diagnostics, and systematic root-cause analysis.
-   Collaborate with Product Owners, QA, architects, and client technical stakeholders; participate in Agile delivery.

### Engineering depth & delivery

-   Apply strong OOP, SOLID, data structures, memory management, and multithreading judgment in real codebases.
-   Support high-reliability expectations for mission-critical systems; uphold production quality, security, and maintainability on long-lived enterprise codebases.
-   Apply disciplined software engineering across design, implementation, testing, and delivery on complex production systems.
-   Mentor and raise the bar through code review and clear technical communication (English) with client stakeholders.

### Agentic engineering (Integrant direction)

-   Work effectively with AI-assisted development workflows where appropriate — while maintaining accountability for production quality, security, and correctness on legacy C/C++ code.

## Requirements

-   Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related field (or equivalent depth demonstrated in career).
-   10+ years of professional software development experience (application software, services, or enterprise systems).
-   Many years of hands-on C and C++ on complex software applications — maintenance and evolution of production systems, not toy projects only.
-   2–3+ years of hands-on C and C++ on application software in production — required for the initial assignment; not required to be recent.
-   SQL Server (or equivalent enterprise RDBMS depth) with database-backed application features.
-   Proven debugging, troubleshooting, and root-cause analysis under time pressure; production support / incident experience.
-   Solid Git, Agile, and English communication for client-facing work.

**Preferred Qualifications**

-   Experience with highly available or production-critical systems (minutes-level downtime sensitivity).
-   Modern C++ (C++11/14/17+) in maintained codebases.
-   REST APIs, automated testing, CI/CD — or equivalent depth on other modern application stacks per squad.
-   Demonstrated curiosity and practical experimentation with AI / LLM-assisted development — with sound engineering guardrails.
-   International client or enterprise product delivery experience.

## Benefits

-   Salary paid in USD
-   Six-month career advancing opportunities
-   Supportive and friendly work environment
-   Premium medical insurance \[employee +family\]
-   English language development courses
-   Interest-free loans paid over 2.5 years
-   Technical development courses
-   Planned overtime program (POP)
-   Employment referral program
-   Premium location in Maadi
-   Social insurance
