Job Description

  • Design develop and maintain real-time fault-tolerant desktop applications using C and C on Linux platforms
  • Migrate legacy GUI applications from Motif/X11 environments to modern Linux display protocols such as Wayland using toolkits like GTK Qt or EFL
  • Write and maintain Bash scripts to automate build processes deployment routines and system-level diagnostics
  • Optimize application performance through multithreading memory management and low-latency scheduling techniques
  • Debug and profile applications using tools such as gdb valgrind perf and strace to ensure stability and responsiveness
  • Implement secure coding practices and support audit-readiness for mission-critical systems
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate GUI applications with enterprise platforms and middleware
  • Configure and support lightweight desktop environments and custom window managers including MWM and Wayland compositors
  • Manage source code and development workflows using Bitbucket Git and CI/CD pipelines
  • Develop and maintain IPC mechanisms (e.g. sockets shared memory DBus) for inter-process communication
  • Document system architecture migration strategies and operational procedures for modernization initiatives
  • Participate in code reviews refactoring efforts and legacy system analysis to support long-term maintainability
  • Support containerized deployment of desktop applications using Docker in secure isolated environments
Deliverables


  • 24x7 system availability
  • Compiled binaries and executables for Linux systems optimized for performance and reliability
  • Source code repositories with well-structured C/C code adhering to coding standards and version control best practices
  • Bash scripts for build automation deployment diagnostics and system integration
  • Makefiles or CMake/Meson build configurations for reproducible and portable builds across Linux distributions
  • -GUI application components including migrated interfaces from Motif/X11 to modern toolkits like GTK Qt or Wayland-compatible frameworks
  • Documentation artifacts such as API references architecture diagrams migration plans and user manuals
  • Unit integration and performance test suites with automated scripts and benchmarks for latency-sensitive applications
  • CI/CD pipeline configurations integrated with Bitbucket or Git-based workflows for automated build and release cycles
  • Accessibility and compliance features such as AT-SPI integration and support for screen readers or keyboard navigation
  • Legacy code refactoring reports detailing modernization efforts from older GUI frameworks to current Linux standards
Requirements


  • Bachelors degree in computer science Software Engineering or related field (required)
  • Minimum 10 years of hands-on experience in C/C development on Linux systems
  • Expertise in C and C development for Linux desktop applications including event-driven programming and UI logic
  • Proficiency in Bash scripting for build automation deployment and system-level integration
  • Experience with legacy GUI frameworks including Motif X11 and MWM with the ability to analyze and refactor legacy codebases
  • Familiarity with modern display protocols especially Wayland including compositor-client architecture and protocol handling
  • Understanding of GUI migration strategies including porting from Motif/X11 to toolkits like GTK Qt or EFL
  • Proficiency with Bitbucket and Git workflows including branching pull requests and CI/CD pipelines
  • Experience with build systems such as CMake Make and debugging tools like gdb valgrind
  • Ability to work with low-level graphics APIs such as OpenGL or Vulkan for rendering and display optimization
  • Comfortable working in lightweight or minimal desktop environments including configuration of .xinitrc .Xresources and custom window manager setups
  • Understanding of Linux system internals including IPC permissions and performance tuning for GUI responsiveness
  • Strong documentation and communication skills with the ability to translate technical migration plans into actionable development tasks
Preferred


  • 10 years of hands-on experience in C/C development on Linux systems
  • Deep knowledge of Linux kernel scheduling policies for deterministic latency.
  • Ability to write custom Wayland protocols and implement both client and compositor-side extensions for specialized GUI behavior.
  • Experience with Zero-Copy Inter-Process Communication (IPC) use of share memory to reducing latency and improving performance.
