About this role

About Us

AtSkyLabs AI Inc., we are at the forefront of the artificial intelligence revolution. As a US-headquartered company, we conduct applied research on AI for intelligent reasoning. We specialize in complex neurosymbolic AI to solve intricate problems within software engineering and mathematical reasoning. Our team is composed of world-class researchers and engineers dedicated to building the platforms and intelligent agents that will power the next generation of software. If you are passionate about building truly intelligent systems and want to make a lasting impact, join us.

The Role

As a C++ Systems Developer on this project, you'll be instrumental in building the runtime infrastructure and contract enforcement mechanisms that form the backbone of our verification system. You'll work at the intersection of modern C++ language features, compiler technology, and formal methods, implementing the systems that translate mathematical specifications into executable runtime checks.

This is a rare opportunity to work on cutting-edge compiler technology while contributing to the future of software verification.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design, develop, and maintain high-performance C++ systems code for verification infrastructure
  • Implement compiler integrations and code generation pipelines using Clang/LLVM
  • Build reusable libraries, APIs, and toolchain components for developer consumption
  • Integrate third-party frameworks and develop build automation systems
  • Write comprehensive tests and establish quality assurance processes
  • Optimize code for performance, reliability, and maintainability
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams including researchers and engineers
  • Participate in code reviews, architectural discussions, and technical design
  • Document technical decisions, APIs, and system architectures
  • Stay current with C++ evolution and formal methods advancements

Requirements

Technical Skills

  • 5+ years of professional C++ developmentwith deep understanding of modern C++ (C++17/20/23)
  • Strong systems programming background: memory management, performance optimization, low-level debugging
  • Compiler knowledge: Experience with Clang/LLVM, AST manipulation, or code generation
  • Build systems expertise: CMake, Bazel, or similar; experience with complex multi-component builds
  • Proficiency withdebugging tools: GDB, LLDB, sanitizers (ASan, UBSan, TSan)
  • Experience writingdeterministic, reproducible codefor critical systems

Software Engineering

  • Track record of building robust, maintainable toolchain infrastructure
  • Experience withautomated testing frameworksand test-driven development
  • Understanding ofAPI designfor developer-facing tools
  • Familiarity withcontinuous integrationand deployment pipelines
  • Strong commitment to code quality, documentation, and best practices

Mindset & Approach

  • Systematic problem-solving approach with attention to edge cases
  • Ability to read and understand formal specifications (training provided)
  • Collaborative mindset with excellent communication skills
  • Self-motivated with ability to work independently on complex technical problems

Strong Bonus Points For

  • Knowledge of what is going in theC++26 standard, particularly contracts (or similar design-by-contract systems)
  • Background informal methods, verification, or static analysis tools
  • Familiarity withproperty-based testingframeworks (QuickCheck, Hypothesis, or Google FuzzTest)
  • Experience / knowledge offunctional programming languages
  • Knowledge ofproof assistants(Coq/Rocq, Lean, Isabelle, Agda)
  • Experience withfuzzing tools(libFuzzer, AFL, or similar)
  • Contributions toopen-source compiler or language tooling projects
  • Understanding ofprogram analysisor symbolic execution techniques
  • Experience withSMT solversor constraint solving systems
  • Academic background incomputer science, formal methods, or programming languages

Benefits

  • Competitive salary in USD (tax-free)
  • Comprehensive health allowance
  • Relocation allowance (if you're moving to Islamabad)
  • Monthly team events and offsites
  • A beautiful, collaborative office space
  • Work alongside world-class AI researchers and engineers
