About the role

Gramian Consultancy is looking for an experienced C/C++ engineer to join a 3‑month contract focused on building and maintaining system‑level libraries for AI‑driven software engineering tools. The role is fully remote and requires close collaboration with AI engineers to support model training, evaluation pipelines, and automated code‑patch generation.

• Integrate open‑source projects such as OpenSSL, FFmpeg, glibc, systemd, tcpdump, libssh2, ImageMagick, and FreeRDP.
• Design and implement backend infrastructure for model training and evaluation workflows.
• Build tools that suggest code patches from bug reports, issue descriptions, and vulnerability IDs.
• Automate assessment of pull‑requests and patch diffs for correctness and completeness.
• Collaborate with AI engineers on Rust bindings and Python‑based orchestration.
• Profile, trace, and debug low‑level system behavior using gdb, valgrind, perf, and related tools.
• Write clear, maintainable code and documentation for internal systems and external libraries.
