CAST Software - Software Engineer - Python / C++

About the Role :

We are looking for a highly skilled and pragmatic Software Engineer with expertise in Python (or C++) to contribute to the core of our platform specifically focusing on source code analyzers. This is a hands-on, backend-focused engineering role with a strong emphasis on static code analysis, test-driven development (TDD), and maintainable software engineering practices.

You will work on developing high-quality software components that parse code, apply quality rules (including upcoming CISQ standards), and help organizations improve their codebase health and reliability. The role offers exposure to a range of languages and frameworks, with a focus on keeping up with the latest evolutions in software engineering.

Key Responsibilities :

• Design, implement, and maintain static code analyzers that are part of the core analysis engine.
• Contribute to the development of parsing logic, quality rules, and analysis workflows across supported programming languages.
• Develop rules and features aligned with emerging standards like CISQ (Consortium for IT Software Quality).
• Write clean, testable, and maintainable code following modern engineering principles.
• Ensure robust unit testing using TDD practices and maintain high test coverage.
• Participate in code reviews, architectural discussions, and continuous improvement of development processes.
• Continuously monitor and support the evolution of programming languages and frameworks and reflect those changes in analyzers.
• Perform significant maintenance on existing modules while enhancing scalability and performance.
• Collaborate across teams to align analyzer development with product goals and customer needs.
