C++ Alliance (Boost ecosystem)




About the Role





We're looking for a senior C++ engineer with deep Boost.Asio experience and strong coroutines skills to help accelerate development of Beast2 (next-generation HTTP / WebSocket work in the Boost networking stack), and its supporting libraries (e.g. capy, buffers, http_proto). This role is ideal for someone who enjoys low-level, performance-minded C++ library engineering, can move fast with high autonomy, and is exceptionally responsive in short feedback loops.




Responsibilities





Build and ship Beast2 features: implement, refactor, and harden core components; keep APIs coherent and maintainable.
Coroutines + async architecture: design and implement coroutine-friendly flows, modern async patterns, and ergonomic APIs on top of Boost.Asio.
Work across dependent libs: make coordinated changes across capy, buffers, http_proto, and Beast2 to keep integration smooth and linking/builds correct.
Quality and correctness: write/maintain tests, fix CI failures, reduce footguns, and improve diagnostics.
Fast collaboration loop: collaborate via Slack in tight iterations; unblock quickly; produce concrete work output frequently.




Qualifications





Expert C++ (modern C++ and systems-level debugging); strong grasp of ABI, linking, toolchains, and build systems.
Strong Boost.Asio experience: real production experience with Asio (timers, executors, composed operations, async I/O patterns).
Coroutines experience: practical coroutine usage/design in C++ (including performance and cancellation/lifetime pitfalls).
Networking protocols: HTTP and/or WebSocket experience (or closely adjacent protocol work).
High responsiveness: you can maintain rapid back-and-forth on Slack during the agreed overlap window.
Self-directed execution: you can take a rough problem statement, propose an approach, implement it, and iterate.




Required Skills





Familiarity with Boost.Beast internals and/or other Boost Network Suite libraries.
Experience with std::execution / sender-receiver direction and its interaction with coroutines.
Experience writing public-facing libraries (API review discipline, docs, versioning, deprecation strategy).
Comfort using AI tools to accelerate work while maintaining correctness.




Preferred Skills





Remote-first, async by default, but with a strong emphasis on real overlap and short iteration cycles. You'll work closely with the project's technical lead / lead maintainer and the broader Alliance team. We optimize for low-friction workflow and high throughput: fast turnaround, clear ownership, and minimal idle time.




Pay range and compensation package





Contract-to-start preferred (e.g. time-boxed 3‑month trial, renewable based on output/fit).
