Role in brief
Movavi seeks a Senior C++ Developer to enhance their Video Editor's core features and user interface. This role involves optimizing editing tools, improving timeline performance, and building custom UI components. Candidates with strong C++17/20 and Qt experience, who are interested in performance and user experience, should apply.
About the role
This role focuses on improving the core functionality of Movavi's Video Editor. The work involves refining product logic and the user interface, specifically enhancing key editing tools like clip cutting, trimming, and effect application.

The successful candidate will also be responsible for developing new UI components, particularly in situations where the standard Qt framework does not provide out-of-the-box solutions. This requires a creative approach to interface design and implementation. Additionally, the role includes implementing new analytics and refining existing ones to ensure the product development is guided by user needs and data.
The team values clean, maintainable code and a strong understanding of object-oriented programming. Success in this position means delivering performance improvements, a smoother user experience, and robust new features for the video editor. The company offers a flexible, remote work environment and a team that supports professional growth and knowledge sharing.
The salary for this position ranges from $115,000 to $195,500 USD.
