Senior Software Engineer (C++/ Rust)- Berlin

Senior Software Engineer (C++/ Rust) m/w/d

Team

The Routing Center of Excellence is an advanced engineering team at HERE tasked with delivering core routing functionality, constantly improving our routing algorithms and services. We care about the software design, elegant algorithms, performance, and scalability of our solutions. We are using modern C++ 17 for our core algorithms, building our robust scalable distributed REST services in Rust, deploying them in Kubernetes, using Python for data‑driven quality analysis, and Scala/Apache Spark for data processing. If you want to be on the technology edge and solve real‑world logistics and vehicle routing problems.

The Role

As part of the team, you'll have the opportunity to work on one of the most versatile route calculation engines, capable of running on low‑end devices and taking advantage of high‑end cloud computing clusters. You'll contribute to a wide range of features impacting routing graph preparation, core routing algorithms, maneuver/instruction generation, road traffic update, routing web service and REST APIs. You will help us create a new generation of highly performant and customizable big‑scale routing solutions.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and implement high‑performance routing algorithms using C++ and/or Rust.
• Build scalable, distributed RESTful services and deploy them using cloud services (AWS).
• Enhance core components of HERE's routing engine including graph preparation, maneuver generation, traffic updates, and routing APIs.
• Perform code profiling, performance tuning, and system optimization.
• Collaborate with teams focused on data processing, quality analysis, and infrastructure.
• Engage in the complete software development lifecycle: requirements, architecture, implementation, testing, and deployment.
