Topcon Positioning System is looking for a qualified individual to fill the role of a
Senior Backend Developer (C++ / Python / Node.js)
The job can be performed 100% remote (Italy), with visit to our Concordia office when required
Job Purpose
We’re developing next-generation platforms for automating construction, geospatial workflows, and edge computing. We’re now looking for a Senior Backend Developer with strong C++ expertise and production experience in Python or Node.js.
This is a hands‑on, cross‑functional role perfect for engineers who enjoy working on high-performance systems in C++ while building scalable, cloud‑native services in modern backend stacks.
Core Job Responsibilities
Design and develop performance‑critical backend components in modern C++ (C++17 or later)
Build and maintain web services and APIs in Node.js (TypeScript) or Python (asyncio)
Optimize and bridge systems across languages — integrating low‑level C++ logic with higher‑level services
Work closely with DevOps to deploy services in cloud‑native environments (AWS/Kubernetes)
Participate in architecture discussions, code reviews, and ongoing refactoring initiatives
Write clean, tested, maintainable code and mentor peers on engineering best practices
Troubleshoot, profile, and optimize backend performance under high load
Education & Experience
5+ years of experience in backend development, including
Strong production experience with modern C++
Solid understanding of multithreading, memory management, and system‑level optimization
Experience building scalable REST APIs, event‑driven services, or data pipelines
Familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud platforms (preferably AWS)
Comfortable working in a Linux development environment with Git, CI/CD, and monitoring tools
Fluent in English — written and verbal — for working in global, distributed teams
Nice to Have
Background in high‑load systems, geospatial processing, or real‑time data pipelines
Exposure to Kafka, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, or time‑series databases
Familiarity with infrastructure as code (e.g., Terraform, Pulumi)
Passion for clean architecture, performance, and engineering excellence
Remote‑first culture with flexible global work arrangements
Impactful domain — our tools support the physical world: construction, mapping, infrastructure
Strong engineering culture: modern stack, autonomy, and real technical challenges
Work across multiple languages, domains, and performance layers
Working Conditions
Office presence: when required, ideally once a month
Remote work (Smart Working): Available for the working days to support productivity and work‑life balance
