Summary/Purpose of the role
We are looking for a Senior Software Development Engineer, Developer Tools to join our team.
Automation of key engineering processes - such as builds, testing, deployments, and more - is a critical focus at Network Optix. These efforts help our engineers work more efficiently and deliver high-quality software faster.
The CI team plays a leading role in designing, building, and maintaining this automation ecosystem, driving best practices in CI/CD (Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery) across the company.
Current State of CI/CD and Automation
A significant portion of our engineering and infrastructure processes is already automated and continuously evolving. The CI team builds and maintains a range of internal services and tools, including:
- Automation tools – Custom bots and services that streamline routine tasks within merge requests and Jira workflows, built on top of the GitLab and Jira APIs.
- Crash analysis service – A service that processes core and minidumps from client environments and automatically creates Jira issues for developers.
- Sign server – A service that securely signs distributable binaries using certificates and keys provided by customers.
- Build tooling – Tools and integrations to build our cross-platform products using CMake, Ninja, and Conan.
- Product CI pipelines – GitLab-based pipelines that run builds and automated tests across our product line.
- Internal CI/CD solutions – Pipelines and web services for internal CI team projects, including Jenkins jobs.
What the CI Team Has Today
- A real engineering culture – Code reviews, pre-commit checks, and a strong focus on writing high-quality, maintainable code.
- A small, hands-on team – 5 engineers and a team lead who actively contributes to the codebase.
- Solid infrastructure – Bare-metal servers running Kubernetes clusters in our own data center.
- Knowledge sharing – A collaborative environment where engineers actively help each other and grow together.
- Room to grow – Opportunities to take ownership of meaningful projects and develop professionally.
What you will be doing
There is a substantial amount of work ahead as we continue to expand and improve our CI/CD ecosystem:
- New automation services – Design and implement new services, and continue evolving the existing ones.
- Developer productivity tools – Build internal tools and services that save engineers time and streamline daily workflows.
- Build tooling improvements – Make our build infrastructure faster, more reliable, and easier to maintain.
- Pipeline performance – Improve the efficiency, stability, and execution time of our GitLab pipelines.
- Automation backlog – Work through a growing backlog of automation requests from engineering teams across the company.
- Support and maintenance – Troubleshoot issues, fix bugs, and keep existing solutions reliable.
What you bring
Software engineering – Solid hands-on experience building and maintaining production services, with good coding practices and attention to code quality.
- Python – Strong Python skills; this is the team's primary language for service development.
- Service integration – Familiarity with automating workflows through integration with internal services such as GitLab, Jira, and Artifactory, using direct API access, SDKs, CLI tooling, or other programmatic approaches.
- Scripting experience - Bash, PowerShell
- Git – Solid knowledge of Git and collaborative development workflows.
- Systems fundamentals – Working knowledge of networking, operating systems, and how software interacts with hardware.
Soft skills
- Engineering mindset - Approaches problems pragmatically, gravitates toward clean and maintainable solutions; but also knows when to “use duct tape” instead of “building a spaceship”.
- Ownership mentality - Takes responsibility for the quality and longevity of their work, not just getting it "done."
Kindness - Approachable personality, able to communicate clearly and with empathy
Nice to Have (Optional)
- Familiarity with CMake, Conan, Ninja, or similar build tools
- Experience with GitLab CI/CD pipelines
- Jenkins experience (groovy)
What we offer
- Competitive compensation
- Paid time off
- Flexible working hours
- Hybrid work in our brand-new comfortable office
- Employer-sponsored health coverage
- Working with top industry experts in our international team
Hybrid or Remote
The position is ideally a hybrid role and the office is located in Hague, Netherlands.
Network Optix is an equal opportunity employer committed to diversity and inclusion in the workplace. We celebrate the diversity of our workforce, which includes people of all cultural, national, racial, gender identities, and those who have served in the military. We strive for an environment where creativity and collaborative growth thrive. If you have a disability or special need that requires accommodation, please let us know.

About the Team
Our team is responsible for a large part of the server-side development — camera integration and support. We work with a wide variety of camera manufacturers, each using different protocols (IP-based, TCP/UDP, HTTP, SOAP, ONVIF, and various proprietary text and binary protocols).
The integration team investigates and supports these protocols, often performing reverse engineering. A significant part of the work involves debugging issues on local and remote devices using tools like Wireshark.
Our software runs on a wide range of hardware and operating systems. We build efficient, portable solutions using modern C++ (C++20/23), along with CMake, Conan, and Git.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Examine various camera APIs and develop plugins for different vendors
- Add support for new cameras and devices (NVRs, DVRs, intercoms, IP speakers, etc.)
- Implement support for new camera features and capabilities
- Maintain and improve camera support on the server side
- Collaborate with the core server team to enhance camera-server interaction
- Investigate Wireshark logs and server logs to diagnose and resolve issues reported by technical support
- Troubleshoot complex problems, including server crashes and device-specific issues
- Interact with device manufacturers to improve and stabilize integrations
- Refactor existing code and increase unit and functional test coverage
- Participate in code reviews
- Assist the Support team in analyzing complex field issues
Domain / Areas of Work
Each integration typically involves working across multiple protocols and includes:
- Camera discovery
- Capability detection
- Configuration management
- Device control
- Media stream handling
- Video analytics data processing
Camera Features You’ll Work With
- Audio/video sources and encoders
- PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom)
- Advanced hardware features (wipers, heaters, etc.)
- Speakers and IO ports
- Security features (doorbells, locks, alarms)
Advanced Video Analytics
- Event detection (line crossing, loitering, etc., 50+ types)
- Object tracking and classification
- Recognition (license plates, faces, etc.)
- Analytics configuration (regions of interest, rules, etc.)
What you bring
Experience
- Experience working with large codebases and maintaining existing systems
- Strong experience in C++17/20, including multi-threaded and asynchronous programming
- Experience with Windows and Linux C++ toolchains
- Experience analyzing network traffic (e.g., Wireshark)
- Solid understanding of OOP and software design patterns
- Strong debugging and problem-solving skills
- Experience writing unit and functional tests
- Experience with web services, SOAP, and ONVIF (desirable)
- Experience with Qt 6 (desirable)
Technical Skills

- Understanding of algorithms and data structures
- Knowledge of concurrent programming
- Solid understanding of memory management (low-level and high-level)
- Understanding of Windows and Linux internals
- Deep understanding of OOP and design patterns
- Strong understanding of networking fundamentals and HTTP
Nice to Have
- Cross-platform development experience (Windows/Linux, including embedded systems)
- Familiarity with Boost
- Understanding of device-level integrations and video systems
- Experience working with analytics from vendors (e.g., Uniview, Vivotek)
- Familiarity with modern AI-assisted development tools (e.g., code generation, static analysis, or developer productivity tools)
What we offer
- Competitive compensation
- Paid time off
- Flexible working hours
- Hybrid work in our brand-new comfortable office
- Employer-sponsored health coverage
- Working with top industry experts in our international team
The position is ideally a hybrid role in one of our offices located in Taipei, Taiwan; Hague, Netherlands; Burbank, CA; Walnut Creek, CA and Portland, OR; Belgrade, Serbia.
