Senior C++ Software Developer (Virtualization)

Acronis is a world leader in cyber protection, delivering natively integrated solutions that monitor, control, and protect the data that businesses and lives depend on. Driven by our passion to protect every workload, we’ve built the industry’s only all-in-one cyber protection platform. We are looking for a Senior C++ Developer to join our mission of protecting the digital world.
The Virtualization Backup Team is responsible for integrating Acronis' flagship product, Acronis Backup, with various virtualization platforms to enable reliable backup and restore operations for virtual machines and hypervisor hosts in production-grade, performance-critical environments.
As part of the Virtualization Backup Team, you will tackle a variety of challenging tasks, including:
- Develop deep expertise in virtualization platforms (e.g. VMware ESXi, Hyper-V, Proxmox, Nutanix) to troubleshoot platform-specific issues.
- Work with file systems (FAT, NTFS, Ext, XFS, ReFS), including snapshotting, corruption, and recovery scenarios.
- Analyze OS boot processes to ensure reliable VM backup, restore, and cross-platform bootability.
- Integrate with major cloud and virtualization platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP, Oracle Cloud, XenServer).
- Leverage AI-assisted development tools while retaining full responsibility for code quality, performance, and security.
- Define clear technical requirements and validate outcomes against real system behavior.
- Review and refine AI-generated code, tests, and documentation to meet production standards.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Develop Acronis product integrations with new virtualization platforms and implement additional virtualization-related features in performance-critical, production environments.
• Troubleshoot and resolve identified issues by analyzing real system behavior, logs, dumps, and metrics rather than relying on assumptions to ensure seamless performance.
• Conduct code reviews, implement unit tests, debug, and integrate code efficiently with a strong focus on correctness, maintainability, and long-term supportability.
• Use AI-assisted development tools (for example: code generation, refactoring, log analysis, test scaffolding) to increase development efficiency, while remaining fully accountable for the final technical decisions and code quality.
• Translate high-level requirements into clear technical tasks, specifications, and acceptance criteria, including tasks delegated to AI tools, and verify results against real-world scenarios and edge cases.
   

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR

• 5+ years of relevant experience in developing, deploying, monitoring, and debugging highly scalable applications using C++ or Rust in complex, low-level or systems-heavy environments.
• Proficiency in at least one platform (Windows, Linux) and related development technologies with hands-on experience in production systems.
• Strong understanding of advanced programming concepts, including multi-threading, OS internals, networking, TCP/IP protocols, and IPC mechanisms and the ability to reason about failures, race conditions, and performance bottlenecks.
• Experience with debugging tools such as Xcode, LLDB, GDB, and WinDbg, as well as reverse engineering techniques to investigate undocumented or poorly documented behavior.
• Solid system administration skills across Windows, Linux, networks, and file systems sufficient to independently reproduce, diagnose, and validate complex issues.
• Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving abilities with an engineering mindset focused on root-cause analysis rather than quick fixes.
• Knowledge of Python and Golang is a plus (used for tooling, automation, testing, or auxiliary services).
• Experience working with technical documentation, design notes, or specifications, and the ability to critically review and improve them.
