Company Description:

Atlas is expanding its engineering capabilities with the establishment of a dedicated Engineering Hub in Riga. The hub is designed to bring together top engineering talent to work on advanced robotics, autonomy, and defense related systems that are deployed globally.

Engineers at the Atlas Engineering Hub will work in an international environment, collaborating with teams and partners across multiple countries, while remaining based in Latvia. The focus of the hub is on real-world engineering programs and platforms, from system architecture and integration to advanced autonomy and mission level capabilities.

The Engineering Hub reflects Atlas’s evolution into a broader technology organization, where local talent contributes directly to globally relevant systems. It offers engineers the opportunity to work on cutting edge technologies, see their work deployed in real operational environments, and grow within an international, high impact engineering ecosystem.

Role Description:

Atlas HUB team is looking for an Core C++ Developer to join our R&D team and take ownership of the core system infrastructure that enables reliable, low-latency, real-time operation.

In this role, you will focus on Linux-based infrastructure, embedded platforms, and video systems, supporting production and mission-critical environments. You will work closely with backend, frontend, and hardware teams to ensure system stability, performance, and scalability across the full software lifecycle - from design and development to deployment in production environments.

This is a unique opportunity to work on complex, real-world systems at the intersection of robotics, autonomy, and high-performance software engineering.

This is a full-time, hybrid role based in Riga, Latvia.

Responsibilities:

• Develop, maintain, and optimize infrastructure and low-level components for embedded systems.
• Develop and maintain video pipelines for real-time and low-latency systems.
• Build, customize, and maintain Linux kernels and BSPs.
• Develop and maintain Docker-based build and deployment environments for embedded systems.
• Optimize system performance, latency, reliability, and resource usage.
• Debug, profile, and maintain complex production and embedded systems.
• Conduct code reviews and ensure high code quality and adherence to best practices.
• Collaborate with cross-disciplinary teams across ATLAS HUB to deliver robust system solutions.

Required skills:

• 4-5 years of hands-on C++ development experience.
• Strong experience working in Linux-based environments.
• Experience with Docker and containerized deployments.
• Experience with real-time or low-latency systems.
• Strong debugging, profiling, and performance optimization skills.
• Experience with Git and modern development tools.
• Ability to work independently and take ownership of infrastructure components.

Would be considered as an advantage:

• Experience with video streaming protocols (e.g., RTP, RTSP, WebRTC).
• Experience with Gstreamer.
• Familiarity with GPU / hardware-accelerated video pipelines.
• Background in robotics or autonomous systems.
• Experience with mission-critical or safety-critical environments.

Our offer:

• Salary EUR 4500-6500 gross depending on qualifications.
• Experience in a fast-growing, highly innovative global industry.
• Excellent work conditions and open-minded team.
• Health and accident insurance policies.
• Free parking lot next to the office.
• Corporate events, regular internal activities and other benefits.
• Professional development opportunities and training.
