It's fun to work in a company where people truly BELIEVE in what they're doing!

Job Description Summary:

We’re looking for curious and driven engineers to join the jBASE team. Our MV Application Server (MVAS) combines a high‑performance embedded database with a modern application platform designed for scalable, mission‑critical systems. Joining our global engineering group means working in an environment that values flexibility, personal growth, and a healthy work‑life balance — all within a stable, well‑established business. Whether you’re based in Vilnius or elsewhere in Lithuania, we offer the flexibility to work in a way that best supports your productivity and work‑life balance.

As part of this growth, we are seeking an experienced C/C++ Software Engineer to help build and enhance our high‑performance, low‑level systems. If you enjoy solving complex technical challenges, and contributing directly to core platform components, this role will be an excellent fit.

• Work with core database components, optimize queries, and improve execution efficiency.
• Troubleshoot complex issues using advanced debugging tools.
• Collaborate across teams to enhance system performance, reliability, and scalability.
• Contribute to system‑level design decisions involving operating systems, concurrency, and memory management.
• Operate in both Windows and UNIX environments.

Required Qualifications

• 4 + years of hands‑on experience with C/C++ development.
• Strong understanding of database fundamentals (ACID, indexing, query optimization, transactions, concurrency).
• Solid knowledge of operating systems: memory management, processes/threads, file I/O, file systems, POSIX APIs.
• Understanding of networking and basic security principles.
• Familiarity with data structures (queues, linked lists, hash tables, trees).
• Familiarity with algorithms (searching, sorting, hashing).
• Experience with gdb, Valgrind or similar debugging tools.
• Strong analytical, debugging, and problem‑solving skills.
• Experience with application performance optimization.
• Experience working with Windows and UNIX systems.

The following points are “nice-to-have” qualifications and not required for joining the team.
They simply provide additional context about our tech stack and focus areas. If you only match a portion of them — great. If not — you can learn many of these on the job.

• Experience with MultiValue databases.
• Background in database kernel development or low‑level database internals.
• Familiarity with AI-assisted development tools (GitHub Copilot, Claude, Cursor).
• Basic understanding of machine learning or AI concepts.
• Ability to evaluate and integrate AI‑based development tools.
• Knowledge of compiler architecture (lexing, parsing, semantic analysis, code generation).
• Experience with GCC/Clang toolchains or custom compiler components.
• Exposure to build systems, linkers, and runtime environments.
• Experience writing test cases and working with automation/testing frameworks.
• Knowledge of additional languages/technologies: Python, Java, HTTP, client‑server architecture, RPC, XML, JSON.
