Solid professional experience in C/C++ (including frameworks like Qt) or Java for high-throughput data processing and application development.
Experience developing commercial or internal thick-client desktop applications.
Familiarity with geoscience or seismic interpretation fundamentals and workflows.
Experience working in an Agile/Scrum framework.

Nice To Haves

Experience with Python scientific ecosystem (NumPy, Pandas) for data analysis and metric automation.
Hands-on exploration of modern systems languages (such as Rust) and 3D graphics/rendering concepts.
Familiarity with cloud platforms (Azure or AWS) and basic infrastructure maintenance.
Experience writing or optimizing data importers and real-time processing pipelines.
Proficiency with Git-based workflows and CI/CD practices.
Active experience utilizing AI-augmented tooling (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot) to optimize personal development workflows.

Responsibilities

Develop and maintain components of high-performance seismic application software, from data ingestion through visualization and interpretation deliverables.
Collaborate with geoscientists, product owners, and QA analysts to translate domain requirements into reliable software features during Agile sprints.
Implement and optimize software features and UI components for desktop-based seismic applications.
Participate in code reviews and adhere to engineering best practices for performance, maintainability, and code quality.
Build and manage automated workflows, data pipelines, and internal tools to improve team productivity.
Utilize modern technologies, including AI-augmented development tooling, to safely accelerate software delivery and reduce technical debt.
