Introducing Thinkproject Platform

Thinkproject is a European leader in the digitalization of the construction industry, with offices and customers spanning Europe and beyond.

Founded in 2000 — when construction project planning was still predominantly manual — Thinkproject was built on deep industry expertise and a mission to make complex construction projects manageable. Today, we call it Construction Intelligence: software that makes construction projects more efficient, safer, more punctual, and above all, more sustainable.

VDC Manager is one of the flagship products in our portfolio — a complete openBIM platform at the intersection of 3D modeling, process management, and data intelligence.

What your day will look like

About the Role We are looking for a Senior C++ Software Developer to join the team behind VDC Manager — Thinkproject's complete openBIM software, developed by industry experts and trusted by AEC professionals worldwide.

What You Will Do

Core Development

Architect, design, develop, and test new and existing features within VDC Manager
Write clean, well-structured, secure, and testable modern C++ code (C++17/20)
Take ownership of complex technical areas — from geometry processing and 3D rendering to data exchange and cloud connectivity
Troubleshoot, debug, and upgrade existing systems with a focus on performance, scalability, and reliability

Technical Leadership

Drive technical analysis and research, including evaluation and selection of technical approaches and third-party components
Define and enforce best practices within the development team (code reviews, CI/CD, testing standards, architecture patterns)
Contribute to architectural decisions and provide technical guidance across the team
Mentor and support mid-level and junior developers

Collaboration & Communication

Collaborate closely with Product Owners, UX designers, and BIM domain experts to translate requirements into robust technical solutions
Demonstrate and present technical work to product owners and stakeholders in a clear and structured manner
Work as part of a distributed, international team — contributing to technical discussions on implementation approaches and user interfaces
Continuously learn and apply modern tools, frameworks, and engineering processes

What you need to fulfill the role

Must-Have

6–8 years of professional software development experience
Expert-level knowledge of C/C++, including modern standards (C++14/17/20)
Strong skills in software architecture, data structures, and design patterns
Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills — able to diagnose and resolve complex technical issues
Solid understanding of CI/CD pipelines, software quality practices (performance,scalability, security, testability)
Fluency in English (written and spoken) — our working language across the engineering team

Strong Advantages

Experience with Qt for desktop application development
Hands-on experience with graphics programming (OpenGL, DirectX, Vulkan, or similar)
Knowledge of BIM concepts, workflows, and data formats (IFC, BCF) and/or experience in the AEC industry
Experience with JavaScript (user scripts), Python (utilities and build tooling), or C# (plug-in development and web services for Thinkproject cloud connectivity)
Familiarity with web services and REST APIs for cloud platform integration
German language skills are a plus but not required

Code Sample (Required)

As part of your application, please share a C/C++ code sample — a function, class, or module that you wrote yourself and are proud of, or that best represents your coding style and preferences.

It does not need to be executable or a complete program
It can come from a personal project or a previous role (anonymization is perfectly fine)
You are welcome to supplement it with screenshots, videos, papers, or prototypes — anything that helps showcase your work and engineering thinking
This is not a test — it is an opportunity to show us how you think and how you write code.
