What You Will Do...

As a Senior Core Engineer, you'll be hands-on with our shared codebase, shaping and maintaining the backbone of our products. We primarily work with C++20, but often reach out into platform specific code. You'll have plenty of freedom, learn new things, and make a real difference in what we build.


In this role, you will:

• Advance Document Capabilities: Help shape PSPDFKit’s mission by implementing the underpinnings of new document technology across our SDKs and other products.
• Collaborate with Your Peers: Work closely with members of your team as well as other engineering teams to create the building blocks that drive our products forward.
• Maintain the Codebase: Keep our shared codebase shipshape through maintenance and refactoring.
• Assist with Customer Support: Tackle those tricky, hard-to-debug bugs and provide stellar support to our customers.
• Extend Tests and CI: Write robust tests and ensure everything runs smoothly through continuous integration.
• Type Script, C#, Java, Kotlin, Swift, etc: Dive into the code bases of the products relying on us (written in a variety of languages) to implement new features or fix issues.
• Improve your and our lives: No team or company is perfect and we’re all better for it if we can improve things - from team internal processes to company wide - every idea is welcome and giving feedback is highly appreciated.

Who You Are…


We value team players who are proactive, independent, and have a strong sense of ownership. As the ideal candidate you must be:

• Collaborative and Self-Driven: You thrive without hand-holding, actively exchange ideas, and adapt to async and sync communication.
• Quality-Oriented: You move fast but maintain high standards. Your work speaks for itself, and you document it well.
• A Strong C++ coder: You don’t need to be a template magician, but common data structures and memory handling patterns are your bread and butter.
• Cross-platform Savvy: You’re familiar with other Operating Systems and what differences to pay attention to.
• Comfortable with a Wide Range of Tools: CMake, Git, and Docker are your trusty companions.

Who We Are…


PSPDFKit hires people who are curious, creative, communicative, and collaborative. We promote people who make an impact, who demonstrate accountability and ownership, and who pursue progress over perfection. We pride ourselves on being a high performance, highly empowered individual contributor workplace that is optimized for impact over activity. We believe in radical transparency and candor, where feedback is given with empathy and heard with trust. We believe problems are solved and progress is made by individuals taking self-initiative.


We are a globally distributed company with a mostly remote team. We are a low meeting culture company and believe in the effectiveness of asynchronous communication. Working time must overlap with most of the team across the US and Europe. If working from the US, you must be located in Florida, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, Texas, or Virginia for payroll processing.


Every year, we host a company gathering at an offsite location; past locations have been in Croatia, Italy, Spain, Greece, Austria, Portugal, and Hungary. Team members have access to competitive market salaries along with benefits. Above all, we emphasize continuous growth, urging our teams and individuals to seek out feedback, be open to changing their minds, and to constantly be pursuing avenues of learning and innovation.


PSPDFKit believes in equal opportunity, we employ people from many different cultures and countries. We celebrate diversity and are committed to building a team that represents a variety of backgrounds, skill sets, perspectives, as well as providing our employees with a work environment free of harassment. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, age, marital status, national origin, ancestry, physical or mental disability, medical condition, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or any other non-merit factor. We’d especially love to receive applications from individuals who are underrepresented in the tech industry.
