About the project

How we hire:

At Pentalog, excellence is what you'll do. We're guided by a mission to positively impact the software development world.

More on the project:

Pentalog is looking for a C++ Developer for a truly Agile and innovative project.

Our client, a leading survey technology provider has joined forces with a world-renowned market research company that offers top financial solutions such as: debt management services, accounting, bookkeeping, and payment solutions, back-up servicing, financial auditing, and other related services.

Their vision: create the survey platform of the future. As a C++ Developer, you will join a group of equally skilled professionals who are passionate about Market Research.

In a journey into scalability, you will help provide new features that will support most of the leading financial solutions provider’ surveys in the long run, while rewriting or modernizing some of the older parts of the in-house products. The project relies on a roadmap which revolves around gradually splitting monolithic bits into microservices, improving standardization, adopting modern architecture designs (message queuing, event-driven architecture), and using modern operational frameworks (cloud services, implementing SRE, delivering continuously by leveraging blue/green, canary deployments).
